My friend who came back from Kuwait last year, her b/f is in DC still waiting treatment for his back that he injured over there. <BR/><BR/>I also get myself worked up over a ton of stuff. Monthly acupuncture helps a lot but mostly I need to just calm down - not stress out about stuff so much. <BR/><BR/>I am glad your meds are covered. I know that was a huge relief. <BR/><BR/>Take it easy, sending healing thoughts to you and your family. <BR/><BR/>JudiJudihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17659061902462311046noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5769752025782368695.post-51902506165430907732008-04-25T14:30:00.000-07:002008-04-25T14:30:00.000-07:00Just last week, my husband and I found a house tha...Just last week, my husband and I found a house that we really like...but we were only going to buy it so that his mother could possibly buy ours. I was soo excited! I loved the house and I kept thinking and making plans in my head about how we could do it. My husband decided we should wait a week and then re-evaluate. This wasn't a big deal because it's been on the market for for around 8 months. We waited a...1 week (yesterday was a week) I look online today and the house was taken off the market. Presumably sold. <BR/><BR/>I have peace about it because I feel we are led by God and he provides, opens and shuts doors as He is the only one who knows where we are going!<BR/><BR/>But I was totally worked up over it and even reconfigured all of our finances (to see how fast we could pay it off etc). Anyways - I need to remind myself to stay calm and let God lead!! He always provides!Reaganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02509993281823169055noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5769752025782368695.post-66508328649176821942008-04-25T13:51:00.000-07:002008-04-25T13:51:00.000-07:00...wow...when i read the title & saw the picture, ......wow...when i read the title & saw the picture, my heart was just kinda overwhelmed...patrick, jim, annette & others...all the work that was done to create a beautiful environment where things can grow & mature & be utilized for sara, spencer & the girls...just so awesome...<BR/>...& that smiling serpent is "the best ever" (a term i usually use mockingly) but that honestly is the best ever...(looks like madrone, maybe ???...analytical mind at work)...<BR/><BR/>...seeing the garden happen, it's visceral, like i feel it more than i can say it but it's like how we all wanna see you grow healthy, spence...<BR/><BR/>...stay good, stay strong, get healthy...see ya...bikesgonewildhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01489983012589939600noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5769752025782368695.post-45630206299445252008-04-25T13:02:00.000-07:002008-04-25T13:02:00.000-07:00this summer i did a bike ride from venice to budap...this summer i did a bike ride from venice to budapest. i booked a hotel in venice with the internet on the phone while in france for (what i thought) was a great price of 40 euros a night. <BR/><BR/>when i checked in with my confirmation stuff the front desk guy (owners son) said there was a big problem, that the room was really 400 euros a night, so my 2 night stay went from ~80 euros to 800! euros. the place was super nice but i couldnt afford the 800 euros. the whole first day i went everywhere looking for other boarding, there was none, no hostel, it was mid july, the hordes had arrived.<BR/><BR/> so i stayed there. had a chef cook me omelets at breakfast, great breakfast, comfy bead, a jacuzzi, near the church, with a view. <BR/><BR/>i go to check out and im ready to fight them on the bill, fight hard, get the us embassy on line, marines...and if air strike fails, use the emergancy credit card at the bottom of a pannier. the owner, dad, checks me out. he looks at my confirmation stuff, gives me one of those all knowing winks and says 'oh looks like well have to fix that price online. did you get enough to eat at breakfast? we have extra if youd like to take some on your ride, how do those campy shifters hold up touring?' <BR/><BR/>i left with some of the best sausage sandwiches ever.kregerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03319396728888279986noreply@blogger.com
