Today was a day of recovery and preparation. Recovery from being up until almost 3 am last night with ministry and preparation since tomorrow is Argentina's Labor Day & most everything will be closed.
The kids tried to let us sleep in. So sweet of them. I could hear them in their room chatting it up. Finally they came in to get us up at 8 am. Major sleeping in, but still, after going to be bed at 3 and being sick, I was still wiped out. Heather too. She is sick and slowly getting worse.
I can eat onions, garlic, spicy soups, etc to help me feel better when I am under the weather, but Heather is allergic to most everything good for you. This makes her health more dependent on medicines. I therefore, try to avoid them. I don't know if I can forever, but I try my best. For instance, last night I amused myself by hearing myself wheezing while trying to fall asleep. But this morning I was dizzy and light-headed from the lack of oxygen, so I finally broke down and used my inhaler. : ) - Oh well. Trying to do it naturally.
I drove into the center of town to a gas station that has a good air pump and inflated a tire that was really low on the STL SUV. I will keep an eye on it to see if we need to take it to a shop. Then Heather took Jonny to the supermarket to stock up since stores will be closed tomorrow. She said the lines were outrageous! Sorry she had to endure that.
I then raced to our local fruit/ veg stand to buy up healthy stuff & then to the roasted chicken store to grab a bird. God was good. I did not have a bird reserved and they were all out for the day. Nooooooo! (I really love chicken, especially when I am not feeling well.) BUT, they did have some left over birds from the night before - a little over done, but it's cool, because that is exactly how I like them. : )
After lunch and a little time with the fam I laid down to take a nap. I could feel myself crashing and if I want to get over this thing, I Have To Sleep More. It was a good one. I took it on Aliana's bed since the sun (yeah! haven't seen it for a couple of weeks and man do I love it!) was streaming through the window and on to her bed. It was warm and glorious!
I was really out of it for awhile when I finally got up. I helped prep dinner for the kids, ate with Heather and watched a movie, and now am putting the kids to bed, catching up on line and going to get some sleep. I HAVE to get feeling better and get some work done tomorrow! Plus, we have to prep the kids to go back to school after a 4 day weekend. : )
Good night all
God bless & have a great one
Paz, bendiciones, y el amor de Dios -
