Day Forty-Two with Cancer

Day Forty-Two with Cancer/Day Twenty-Three without Cancer:


Today was much like yesterday...except the going to work part.  Well, let's take that back.  It did start out very differently.  I woke up and got the dog at 6.  We slept for a little while but were woken up by crazy wind, thunder and hail.  I sat there just listening for a while.  Poor Cordelia was really frightened.  I can't say it didn't frighten me at all.  I did wonder a little if I should be going down to the basement.  I kept waiting to hear sirens.  I got as close to the window as I felt comfortable so that I could make sure the hail wasn't completely jacking up our cars.  I went downstairs to see if there was anything on the news about it...any warnings or anything, but of course, there was no tv signal.  I went back to the upstairs window and watched the river that was cascading down our driveway.  I thought, "Oh man, I should check the basement".  I said some silent prayers and took the dog back to bed.  She was nervous, but she was better once the hail started to die down.  The entire afternoon was beautiful.  The only thing different from normal was that everyone's backyard was flooded.  Hopefully that's the only damage that people around here sustained.


I can't say that I did much else the rest of the day.  I spent most of the time talking to God and reading my Bible.  I guess those are good things to do when feeling helpless and uncertain.  I did, however, go to something other than my Bible on my Nook and now my bookmarks and highlights are GONE.  I'm hugely upset.  This is one advantage of having my regular Bible.  When I highlight something, there's no undoing that.  Grrr.  


Jason picked up the donation from Howard's Jewelry.  They gave us an infinity diamond pendant.  It's really pretty.  We're getting a lot of nice items for the auctions.  Now I just need to find a blue dress that's not too expensive.  I want to feel pretty at this thing.


Mom and I watched Just Go With It.  Most of it was pretty cute.  I don't understand the sex humor in every movie though.  Who thinks that stuff is funny?  I just don't get it.  At least I'm not the only one...mom doesn't get it either.


Well, I think it's time for me to do some more reading.  Maybe this time my highlights will stay highlighted.  I'll keep my fingers crossed.
