Better day than yesterday!

    Today was a lot better than yesterday! I didn't do anything with the insurance which I'm thinking made the difference. Mark got me already for the day. I guess I have upgraded to the more mature lunch bag ;-)  The days that he goes to work are a lot harder than you might think. I know getting to lay around sounds so awesome at first but I have to say it's been more than a month and it's gets boring sometimes. I don't mean to complain. It's only for a couple more weeks and then I will be crazy busy and wish I had my slow days back. I was able to work on my baby blanket some more today.I think it's coming along very nicely. I also listened to an amazing talk on CD that my friend let me borrow. "Strenghtened by His Hand" by Brent Top. Such a great CD. If you are going through a trial or might go through one sometime soon (that's all of us) this is a great talk for you.

    I chatted with my friend Heidi. She is doing well and is now home with her family. Can I tell you how blessed I feel that God let us meet. Sometimes I get in a mindset that I don't want to be a part of this new group that I'm apart of now. It's kind of like when my dad died. Someone said to me, welcome to the club. My first thought was I don't want to be in your club, I want my dad back! I have grown up a bit from the first time I had that thought, and now I know that no one really wants to be apart of the club. The only thing good about being apart of club is there are people that know how you feel. What you are going through. That was the best part of meeting Heidi, she was someone that knew exactly what I was going through. She had a lot of the same thoughts that I had. It was at the best time to meet her too. Before I met her I was busy thinking of the surgery. After the surgery you have a lot of time to think, worry and stress! I just wish she lived closer to me. But I'm grateful that we still can talk.
    I did some more indexing tonight. My Mother in-law helped me with some of my errors. I think that I picked a batch that was a little over my head for a first time. Handwritten with Spanish names. The first one was typed so I thought it's okay that they are Spanish names. But after that one they were all handwritten. I didn't do too bad but I will stick to the really easy ones for a while. I did typed obituaries tonight, 10 times easier!! This is something I can do everyday and it's pretty fun to read about the people.
     Can I just tell you that I fear for my children when it's time for me to start cooking again. We are truly spoiled with great cooks feeding us.
