STS...hope your day with your daughter goes very well! Have a great time!

Good morning

I can not believe this weather!!It is 50 degrees here and has rained all night. AND you won't belief this, they are calling for thunderstorms!!!!

The rain came in and there are a few things that trigger sinus problmes for me and changes in weather is one of them.
So I sit here with my head feeling like it has been used as a punching bag.My eyes are swollen and bluish. I am not in a lot of pain, just a bit achy and uncomfortable.

Yesterday our local hospital was offering -free of charge- a diagnostic physical and a blood workup. It is mostly for those that do not have anytype of insurance, but anyone can come. I do not have any insurance, Dh and I went last year and they found that I had a thyroid that was bad and dh had a a psa test that came back with problems. I have to take snthyroid and his problem was not serious at all, and was easily taken care of.

Yesterday the program was expanded and it took two hours to have all of the exams done.

We had a test for our equilibrium (mine was good) and one for our strength-mine came back as the muscle strength of a 25 yr. old woman. (Weight trining really does pay off.)

We had one station for lung capacity, mine was a little iffy because I had smoked for 40 yrs, and I do snore-or at least that is what dh says. Personally I don't think so, I have never heard me snore. lol
Anyway I told her that my dr. does know about my history and it has been 4 yr. since I quit.

Then blood pressure and that was normal, then waist measurement- I think that is because the bigger your waist the higher potential for heart problems? I do have a bigger waist but then I am big all over.

Then bone mass test. I have the bones of a young adult. All that walking and arobics pays off.

Then they drew blood, I have rolling veins and she had to try 3 times to draw the blood. She had to use a baby-butterfly needle.

Those results will be back in a few weeks.

And then I woke up this morning-the first of the month and my weigh in day- I had lost 4 pounds.

All I can say about it all is God is good. I did not take care of my body for so long - - - I drank really bad for years, I am an alcoholic. I smoked for 40 yrs. I did not do any more than I had to-I never exercised --- and I ate what ever I wanted, fried chicken and homemade biscuits and chocolate cake, etc.

But God is so good and my body is healthy even though I mistreated it. This body is God's vessel and I want to make it worthy (as much as I can) for God to indwell me.

I do need to lose a good deal of weight but if I don't I can at least be healthy.

Have a blessed day everyone.

I should have learned by now that I have absolutely no gift for subtlety

When I decided to come back, I felt that I needed a new screen name to reflect the changes in my life over the past year. (And a little play on Judges 17:6).

I don't know that I have anything inciteful to add to the discussions here (though I humbly thank blubayou for the compliment!). But even though I am not a part of the UPC world anymore, (Or even the Christian world in all honesty), but I still like to keep up to date (Which is I suppose what keeps people like Coop and Timlan around as well.)

On second thought, I suppose I can give inciteful comments into the perspective of those on the outside (unbelievers, heathens, backsliders, etc.), LOL

Anyway, I have missed you all, and am glad to be around again. Some good things have been happening in my life, and I will try to share when I have a little bit more time.

Glad to see you posting, Mich! We will try to help you here! Hehehehehehe!

Wait, I'm still trying to help myself!

Lord, I'm behind today. I got up late and didn't care!!!!! It is so cold. I'm not dressed and I'm drinking coffee and thinking I might want another cup!!!!

I'm a loser today!

Somehow, I think Ron is going to get me on that!


GOOD MORNING LADIES AND OUR GENTLEMAN!!!!

I especially wanted to say that because it isn't quite noon and I would feel better, not being dressed yet, to say that and not - Good Afternoon!

Good news! Just stay away from sugar, if you can. It makes you think you are hungry!!!

Sigh....

Is this a preemptive warning, or have I already inadvertantly offended someone?

I am trying so hard, but I feel like people are expecting for me to say something offensive, and therefore aren't even giving me a chance.

Maybe I was wrong to come back.

You've never offended me, girl! Post away! You are still family, you know!
