It was a good day to have a good day...
It's been raining alllll day, but today I met for lunch with my former WBS Roomies and it was wonderful! We had a nice lunch and good catch up. It had been too long. I am pretty sure the 3 of us could talk non-stop all day long and still have more to say, LOL. I also saw a former coworker while I was there and she told me she had just phoned her son to ask him to put me on their prayer list. I continue to be overwhelmed by the prayers being lifted for me. Thank you loved ones. They are truly helping! Please don't be offended if I don't respond directly to your comments. I am reading every single one and I cannot tell you how much peace it brings me.
Taylor & Jarod cleaned the house for me while I was gone today. It was so nice to come home and not have to worry about it. I stopped at Hobby Lobby on my way home and would you believe they are already in full Christmas mode? Christmas trees and all! Seriously! I'm having a hard time thinking about any Holidays right now to be honest. I'm fairly certain I won't be traveling home this year and that stinks, so I'd rather not think about it yet thank you very much Hobby Lobby.
Jarod started packing today. I don't want him to go back to Boone, but I know he has to go back to school. I can't believe he's going to be a junior!! His summer break has gone by way too fast. I am really going to miss him and Aimee.
I've been looking for information today on designated donations for when/if I need blood during chemo or surgery. I have O negative blood and can only receive O negative blood which always seems to be in short supply since all other blood types can use it too. Two of my children have the same blood type so I think it might be possible for them to give and it be designated for me. We're going to investigate that next week.
I've applied for voluntary shared leave through work. That means other people can donate leave for me to use when mine runs out. Hopefully, I will get enough to get me through until Short Term Disability kicks in after 60 days. Another unknown I need to just give over to God.
I woke up crying again this morning. I don't even know why. I think I was dreaming. It is so strange to have no control over that. Somehow I think it helps to get it out first thing in the morning so that I can get on with my day and feel normal.
That's about it my friends. No new information today. If I skip a day or two, don't get worried. It just means I'm out living life trying to get things ready for what's to come. Scott has made dinner again so I guess I will go eat a bit. He is a keeper.

Today's Prayer Requests:
- Pray that I am able to get enough shared leave and also for our financial situation. It is not going to be easy to go on half pay once short-term disability kicks in, pay any copays and deductibles and support a kid in college. If I stop and think about it, it gets way to overwhelming. Pray Scott and I can give that over to God as well.
- Pray for my sweet coworker James who just got hired and my beautiful friend and supervisor Lori who will be holding down the Help Desk while I am out on leave.
- Begin praying now that I will be well enough by January to attend the wedding of my Best Friend's daughter whom I love like my own! Scott is performing the ceremony! It's in Tampa, FL.
- Pray for my family.
- Pray for me to be brave and positive and place my worries in God's hands.
