I have had a couple requests asking about my health. So in the interest of full disclosure, that and I have nothing else at the moment, let me tell you.

I feel like crap!

Seriously, still nauseous all the time, still in pain a lot of the time. That other symptom that I don’t like to talk about, yeah that’s still there too, maybe even a bit worse than before.

Other than that, everything is great. Well, except for the fact that I still am unable to work so I am bringing in no income. Thank God Becky has a job, other wise things would be much worse.

Am I stressed? You bet!

Have I turned the worry over to God? Most of it, I am having trouble letting go of some of it!

Will things get better? Health wise, I have no idea. In all other areas, that is up to God. I am certain that He will make things better in His time, if that is His will. Till that time, I will wait as patiently as I can!

Give up, you will never figure out the tie in with that post title.

I have been absent for a few days now with good reason. First, Becky was on vacation all week, it was great to spend some time with here, we don’t get to do a lot of that when she is working. We saw the movie Four Christmases on Wednesday, very funny movie, although Vaughn’s character seemed a little effeminate. So then Thursday Anna got sick and had to go to the doctor, of course you know that whenever someone in this house gets sick I am not far behind! I started out with the same symptoms Anna had, but mine went south pretty quick. Desiree got sick Friday and had to come home early from school. Poor Becky ended up with a house full of sick people over the weekend. I need to make that up to her somehow!

On a completely different note I have a proposal for all medical practitioners. From now on when you tell someone they need surgery, you can’t tell them until you can schedule it within two days. Giving me all this time to think about it is not doing much for my nerves. All I do is sit around and worry about “what ifs” and it is taking a toll on me. If I make it to the 26th without having a heart attack from fear I will be glad when it is all over and I can get some semblance of a life back.

Well, I guess that is all I really have right now. I need to go worry myself into a tizzy again by reading about surgery mishaps!

Can you use arid to describe something that isn’t a desert? Even if you can’t my lawn is starting to look like the scrub that you find in the Baja. It is extremely hot outside, I don’t want to go out there. I also know that it will be extremely hot in the building I work in too, I don’t want to go there either! I want to stay in my comfy cozy air conditioned house and melt into the couch.

Back to the lawn though. We’ve been watering, and by we I mean my wife since she is the one up early in the AM. She has pretty much concentrated her efforts on the part of the lawn that can be seen from the street. She’s a smart lady and I appreciate the fact that she isn’t trying to put us in the poor house with the water bill.

I worry now that this doesn’t bode well for the 4th of July. If it doesn’t start raining soon they will have to cancel the fireworks, that my friends is a big bummer because I really love watching them! Does anyone know how to do a rain dance? If so would you mind doing one for us? We need moisture and we need it soon!
