Thoughts and Wonderings March 4, 2016

Outside my window ...wind and soft rain with more wind and heavy rain predicted.
I am thinking...my life is never dull. There is always something going on. Yesterday it was a scary trip to the ER with DH. It was hard for me to be calm, peaceful, and quiet while listening to gain knowledge when all I wanted to do was panic, cry, and demand. It is best to gather information before calling family so you can answer questions they will ask especially if  it is not a "hurry up and come" situation. I knew that it was going to be ok when DH started wisecracking with the paramedics - "How old are you, Mr Stelly? The same age I was when I woke up this morning."
I am thankful...for the staff at Applebees in Lafayette for their quick response to DHs episode. They took care of him, me and DD#4 who was freaking out. By staff, I mean everyone who worked there came to help from managers, hostess, waitresses, bartender,  and kitchen staff even customers. I tear up when I think of how much they did for us! The managers even sent a waitress who was a friend of DD#4s to drive us to the hospital. If ever you are in Lafayette, Louisiana, please eat at the Applebee's on Johnson. The food is excellent and the staff is beyond helpful!

I am remembering...patience is a virtue I do not have or plan to cultivate. Drama Queen called DGD#1 yesterday before she actually knew what was going on and upset DGD#1 so much that the child drove in bad weather from BR to Lewisburg to check on her "dying " grandfather. That woman can take a tiny bit of information and turn it into the doomsday bomb.

I am listening to...wind blowing the door and one lone bird telling the other that it is safe. Ha little does he know!
I am going...to spend the predicted rainy days in my studio getting ready for the craft/yard sale on the 19th.            
    
I am hoping...the doctor finds that yesterdays episode was the result of meds. All the test were negative for it to be a physical reason - not heart, not head, not lungs, and not blockage. So all that is left is a reaction to meds. I am also hoping that the Lord gives me patience. So far He has but it was close for a while there. LOL  
I am looking forward to...my DGS#2s wedding at the end of the month. He is marrying a beautiful young woman and becoming a father is a great little girl.                                                                                                    One of my favorite things...sitting outside watching the birds sing. It is so peaceful and calming to do so. It helps me put my mind and feelings under control and in order.                                                                                                                                                  

I am wondering...is the rain going to be as bad as they have predicted or did it pass us by. I am hoping all the storms pass us by while not hitting any other area.

I need...to cut my backyard before it gets too high. My DGS#9 hasn't been able to be available after school to cut it all winter.
