it was a dark and stormy night...

...and all i can say, is "wow".

morphing

i love how the english language is morphing. when i saw this, it cracked me up...


see more fail pictures

...its a fail in the sense the writer missed that the 'pro-' was referring to a prefix...

...but taking 'pro' as simply a stand-alone word, the answer of 'noob' is 100% accurate!... and is reflective of how technology has changed - and is changing - our language, in a continuous, morphing kind of way.

man, that's cool.

sheepies!!!

"Surely, Goodness and Mercy" video, featuring Ashley Cleveland: i think she has the best voice ever! (you can hear a lot of her songs on her website, i especially love her version of 'it is well with my soul".)

a quote i love from Psalm 23 - The Song of a Passionate Heart by David Roper:

"Lord, You know I'm such a stupid sheep... I follow other shepherds, even other stupid sheep." -Joe Bayly

a quote for today

apropos timing, to boot.

"God, who foresaw your tribulation, has specially formed you to go through it, not without pain but without stain." -- C. S. Lewis

lynnie has a buggie...!

so the test results came back....

... there was some kind of "growth", and i have a prescription waiting for me to pick up.

what kind of growth, i do not know, my doc's nurse did not say.

hopefully its the flora type, and not the fauna type.... the very thought of parasites immediately sends me into full body jerks and facial spasms. cooties. ewww.

so, gonna somehow wind myself over to save-on and try to pick up the prescription. hopefully its covered, i gots me no moola.

apparantly its a 'one shot deal', the nurse said, one dose and it should be taken care of.... which makes me wonder, just how strong is this stuff? ick....



*******

UPDATE: its fauna. i don't know what specific sort, but the medication i'm getting is VERMOX (Mebendazole)... follow the link if you really want more information, lol.

fortunately, it is covered, yay, no cost for me.

UNfortunately, due to our infamous airport on overcast days, they have none in stock until monday. (i take it that's *if* the plane can land on monday...)....

.... so here i am, waiting, the 'HOSTest with the mostest' to some very unwanted guests, knowing there are there, and not having any way to evict them until monday.... WAH!!!!!

*whole body jerks and facial spasms in full effect*

EWW....cooties!

PTSD

first, the feelings:



*******

next, the understanding:

traumatic stress

C-PTSD

and now, just a little something else that hit me.

sleep

wow. it's like i can't get enough of it. i'm awake for an hour or two, and i feel drowsy again, and am quite content to hit the sack. and if i don't sleep, i'm in a quasi sleep-wake land, and i'm just as content there, too.

i've slept and/or rested most of the day today, i've been up less than an hour, and i'm ready to go back to bed again.

i think both my body *and* my mind are needing - and utilizing every moment of - sleep.

off to get my beauty sleep!

but first, my favorite lullaby video...

i walk the line....

randy bachman and joel kroeker re-doing johnny cash's i walk the line, jazz style.

i have to admit, i started watching this with my upper lip curled in distaste, i mean really... the first few lines seem so discordant.....

but by the end of the song, i'm just floored. i'm hooked. i want to listen to it again and again.

wow.

He never lets go of me...

sound quality is not so great, but the video someone made for this awesome song really ministers to me....

i made it through...

.... the worst weekend of the year for me. i hate all the blood and guts and horror of halloween.

.....i have a great ...recognition?... of the evil that is behind it all, and see it as no fun whatsoever.

bah humbug.

stayed home, mellowed. experimented with couscous and minute rice.

today i went out for lunch with friends, i had fruit juice and 2 slices of dry white toast (got adventurous and put a wee bit of jelly on one slice, it was nice)... but it was awesome getting out of the house and being with friends. and their food smelled soooo good... i thoroughly enjoyed it! lols.

shortly after getting home, i hit the sack for about... 4 or 5 hours. i needed it.

tonight i got adventurous with my minute rice and added a couple dashes of garlic powder and dried basil and oregano flakes. it was good!

....oh, how simple life can boil down to, eh? it's good. restful. peaceful.

i swear, times when i'm physically ill have been some of my best times with God. this time, its God ministering His LOVE to my heart, and His REST in a tangible way.

i already feel like laying down for a nap again... not sure if i should try and fight it off for a while, or go with it.... hmm....

... i think i'll go with it. g'night, y'all! ....for now, anyways. ;)
