thursday

first the good news: i got some things accomplished - last night i'd managed to load the dishwasher, so today i unloaded it. (now i have to load it again).... i took out the garbage.... and did a quickee scrub of the toilet, only because a worse lookin' toilet i ne'er did see....

the bad news: despite finishing my course of medication last night, i feel sick as ever. i've easily visited the washroom 15-20 times today, and the day is only half over. i feel crampy, weak, and totally wrung out. i need to put some food in my stomach, but i am doing the leaning-tower thing, and think i'll be visiting my mattress for a while first.

and when it really hits hard, i'm just curled up in bed wishing this *whatever it is* would hurry up and run it's course and either get better or kill me. just.... no more. i tired.


you are never more lonely than when you are sick... and alone.


*UPDATE*: after i realized i was nauseous and buckling over in pain from a different kind of cramping *cough*, i took 2 extra strength ibuprofen gel caps, and i feel better. still making frequent trips to the loo, but much more clear headed, and able to be up for somewhat longer periods of time. i actually got some laundry in, too! :) .... waitin' on some (runny) oatmeal for dindin, see how well that goes down....!

Outcast, Adopted.

THIS BLOG IS IN NEED OF AN OVERHAUL. there are posts from years back i would not be able to post in good conscience now. i plan to overhaul the blog, and either delete or add a disclaimer to those posts. but that is gonna take time....

The Radical Summons: "Therefore let us go to Him outside the camp and bear the reproach He endured. For here we have no lasting city, but we seek the city that is to come." Hebrews 13:13.

"The Spirit never loosens where the Word binds; the Spirit never justifies where the Word condemns; the Spirit never approves where the Word disapproves; the Spirit never blesses where the Word curses." —Thomas Brooks

‎"God receives none but those who are forsaken, restores health to none but those who are sick, gives sight to none but the blind, and life to none but the dead. He does not give saintliness to any but sinners, nor wisdom to any but fools. In short: He has mercy on none but the wretched and gives grace to none but those who are in disgrace. Therefore no arrogant saint, or just or wise man can be material for God, neither can he do the work of God, but he remains confined within his own work and makes of himself a fictitious, ostensible, false, and deceitful saint, that is, a hypocrite." --Martin Luther (W.A. 1.183ff)

i will not let You go: "Jacob's sense of his total debility and utter defeat is now the secret of his power with his friendly Vanquisher. God can overthrow all the prowess of the self-reliant, but He cannot resist the earnest entreaty of the helpless." --Albert Barnes

i will not let You go: "Jacob's determination did not flow from his strength, it flowed from his weakness." --Charles Leiter
