Moon and Stars

As mentioned in previous posts, our recent weather has been nothing short of phenomenal. But we’re getting temperatures from the north, which puts a bite in the air. It’s been chilly in the morning, but warms up nicely during the day. Several nights ago when I was letting my dog out to do her “business” I looked up and saw stars…..and a tiny sliver of moon. Right then I knew we would be in for a cold start to the next day. But I’ll take waking up to sunshine and cold weather over drab, gray skies any day. And I just saw on the evening news where our morning “wake-up” temperature could be as low as 19. Yikes! After getting into the upper 50’s and even a couple lower 60’s – 19 is going to be ccccccold.

I’ve been trying to control my back pain with lesser amounts of meds over the weekend. I’ve done pretty good until this evening. I took a couple Percocet (Oxycodone with Tylenol) a couple hours ago, but it seems to have done nothing. Neither has heat or sleep or anything else. Note: do you hear a big whine here? Darn, and it’s even self-induced. Oh well, this too will be survived. At least now I know for sure what my pain tolerance is.

I have physical therapy in the morning, followed by a dentist appointment to get my teeth cleaned. And all of that will happen before noon. That’s a lot for me these days.

Anyway, just wanted to drop a note to let all of you out in bloggerland know that I’m still around and kicking. Also want to say that I truly, really, honestly do appreciate all of the comments you add to my blog. It means a lot to me that know so many of you care. Life is good. God is good. Praise God for the ability to know Him and to know each other.
