Mgirl is better…she’s still having pain occasionally, but I sat with her for a few hours yesterday morning and we chatted and laughed about stupid people who can only think about small things, and cried about beautiful giving people who are warriors for her in prayer, in active fundraising, in support for her new lifestyle…it was good. I took my computer up and she got online a little bit. She’s still in for a few more days while the docs monitor her thinning bloods. We went over all of the changes in her upcoming life, for the next six months. No alcohol. No greens, (which sucks for summertime eating) no asparagus, no (insert every one of her favorite summer foods here) because of it’s Vitamin K content. Vitamin K? wha? yup. it’s the vity that clots your bloods. So…we’ll just figure it out. Right? right.

This past week was one of the more exhausting ones I’ve lived through. Work has become super busy. I’m grateful. Hospital at night. I’m grateful it’s not a funeral home. Bartending on the weekend. I’m grateful. Sunday morning was a 6:30 wakeup and then two to three hours of shouting and cheering for our marathon runners. I’m so grateful. It’s such an amazing experience every single year. M’Lynn and I every year side by side just laughing and crying. Chris and Cindy joined us and I think they were happy that they did. I saw a lot of my friends runing, which just makes me ever so proud!

We all four ate breakfast, and talked about new things (Froast has been sighted in OKC! woo hoo!!!) and plans (gardens!) and then we split up still cheering each other on! YOU GOT THIS! YOU CAN DO IT! WAY TO GO! (we almost cheered on our waitress…)

I ran home and showered and then met Gert and Josie at church. WHAT? I know. I’ve been looking for one to attend and I’ve heard a lot of buzz about this particular flavor, so we tried. I’ve more on that in another post. But it was beautiful to just spend time with G & J and hold hands and soak up some positive love and encouragement to get us thru the week.

I finally got home and pretty much slept till Monday.

Without going into a full list of what Monday was, I planted my garden with the help of Bonusmom’s compost and encouragement. I got more plants in the dirt. It was a good afternoon! Our Co-Op bounty day was yesterday, so we had a fabulous meal and called it a night.

This week we’re getting ready for our fundraising garage sale on Saturday. I bartend Friday and Sunday, with the sale/work/and a bridal shower on Saturday. Sheesh…send up a prayer.
