Before I went to bed last night my throat began to hurt quite a bit. I gargled with salt water and took some of our Wellness Booster Plus we take when we feel a cold coming on. I am wondering if this comes from my sitting in front of the AC for awhile the other night. It hasn’t gotten any worse today but I called Larry tonight and told him there was a possibility I might not be at rehearsal tomorrow night.
Nadine called this morning to say that her son-in-law Ted was in ER and would I please put him on our prayer chain at church. I did so straight away and also called Ann (who is still sick) to put him on her church prayer chain. He had a fever and stomach pains. All they came up with was an acidic stomach with some inflammation. They are waiting for more test results which may or may not come up with an answer. Anyway, Joyce brought him home for now.
I got going on more bibs by eleven this morning and I was going lickety split on them. I did 13 by six o’clock so I have a total of 19 in various stages of "doneness." I’m having great fun doing them. When I finish doing all I want to for now, I’ll change to the sewing foot on my machine and close them all with a decorative stitch across the front. Then there is the matter of the snaps. I have that little snapper do hickey so I need to get it out of the package and learn how to use it. Otherwise I’m going to be hand sewing snaps on all those bibs! I need an assistant who likes to do finish work.
Nadine came over this afternoon and brought me some poly pellets she found at Hancock Fabrics. I had her on the lookout for them for a project I want to do. I looked for them – well, I looked for poly beads – at several places. Thankfully I didn’t find them because when I looked at the directions again I discovered I needed poly “pellets” or buckshot. Slight difference there! Then I was showing her something on the computer and it overheated and shut down. I hadn’t dusted it with the canned air in awhile so I let it cool off until after dinner, dusted and here I am again.
We watched some more “Magnum” tonight. We might actually finish with them before they are due on July 5. Since that is a Saturday we would have until the library opens on Monday to get them turned in without a late fee. And we don’t want to incur a $1 a day late fee!
Actually I confess I was dozing off during the last two episodes. By then it was obvious I have a slight (I hope!) cold. I had quite a headache by time I crawled into bed in addition to my neck and shoulders aching. I took some Ibuprofen and hit the sack. I read a few pages of “Twenty Wishes” by Debbie Macomber which arrived at the library for me today. I know I won’t be able to renew that as her books always have a long waiting list. So I put the other library book aside figuring I can renew it if I can’t finish both in the three week time frame.
Redeemed—how I love to proclaim it!
Redeemed by the blood of the Lamb;
Redeemed through His infinite mercy,
His child, and forever, I am. —Crosby
The price of our freedom from sin was paid by Jesus’ blood.
