WE'RE ILL... AGAIN!

It has been quite a time since we got back from the Conference.  Basically both Joe and I are not feeling well, but limping on until today when we both gave up.

I had gotten a refill of my thyroid medication right before I left.  But I still had a few pills in my old bottle so that's the one I took with me.  The day after I came home I took the last one in the old bottle and threw it away.  Then I went to get the new bottle out.  And I couldn't find it.  I searched everywhere and it was no where to be found.

Joe found an older prescription on the kitchen table.  It was 100 mcg and I now take 112 mcg but I figured something was better than nothing while I looked for the new ones, so I took that for several days until I finally found the new ones yesterday.

I was OK the first day, a little tired the second day, and have slept almost non-stop since then.  Today I didn't even get showered and dressed!  I am hoping to get my energy back once the new dosage kicks in.  But from experience I know it takes about a week.

Well at least I'm catching up on my sleep!

Joe has another upper respiratory infection.  He is feeling miserable, running a fever, pain in his sinuses and chest, and an upset stomach.  He has promised me to go to the doctor tomorrow.

Oh my, we are falling apart!  And May is such a busy month!  Joe preached on Sunday and I taught my class yesterday but what a time we had doing it.

After Bible Study yesterday Debbie, Donna and I went to Chick-Fil-A for lunch.  I was feeling too tired to even care.  I think I said about 5 words the whole lunch.  On the way home Donna asked me if I was OK because I was so quiet and Debbie carried the whole conversation.

When I got home I went to bed and slept for four hours.  I just got up after sleeping for three hours now.  I'm going to get something to eat and then go back to bed.  Joe doesn't even want dinner.

So please pray for us.  We both need to get well fast because there's a LOT going on.

Have a good night.

Our rainy overcast sky at 8 p.m.

WELCOME MAY

DAY FOUR -- COMING HOME

Did I ever sleep well on Wednesday night!  Almost as soon as we got to the hotel I put on my pjs and got into bed.  Joe gave me the remote to the TV.  I turned it on, watched for a couple of minutes and then turned it off.  It didn't seem important to watch it.  Instead I hooked up with the wifi and read my email and facebook to see what was going on with everyone.  I don't think I'll ever get caught up with my blogs so I hope no one is upset if I didn't get to you.

About a half hour later I put my Kindle down, turned off the light on my side of the bed and went right to sleep.  I slept a good long time and it was wonderful.

The shower the next morning was wonderful too.  The one at Pinebrook was either cold, lukewarm or burning hot.  And they had shampoo at the hotel so I could finally wash my hair.  I am going to be much more prepared next year.

After I was finished, Joe took his shower.  It was great because there were bars to hold onto which we are used to here at home.  And there was a phone in the bathroom so if you fell, you could call for help.  This place thought of everything.

I don't have my glasses on and my hair is still wet, but I was happy it was clean!

Joe got ready while I packed everything up again.

This room even had a window you could open for fresh air if you didn't want the air conditioner on.  Because of our allergies we didn't open the window.  But I did take a look outside and it was so pretty!

Because we had slept so late it was about 10:30 a.m. when we were ready to leave.  Check out time was 11:00 a.m.  We liked this place so much that we are going to come back for vacation and stay there.

We had missed the free breakfast they had so decided to go into town to see what we could find.  The GPS pointed us to a Friendly's so that's where we headed.

The food was good and the service was wonderful!  I had a Belgian waffle with strawberries which I haven't had in ages.  Yum!

The drive home was uneventful.  It took 2 1/2 hours.  I was very glad to stop driving when I got here.  And very glad to see my little Snowy cat again.

It was a great time we had.  I didn't want to go.  I didn't think I'd like it.  I thought I would be bored.  And it turned out to be one of the best weeks of my life.
