Windy... windy... windy!

Today is starting out with quite a wind.
Driving to work I was barely able to maintain 10 mph over the speed limit! How can I get to work on time without being able to do my normal speed?! Sheesh...

Yes we can tell the autumn winds are coming, the seasons are changing and dare I say... the "W" word... is coming sooner than we'd like. Personally I'd like it if it never came. But for that to happen we'd have to move. Face it, in the Midwest we are stuck with... Winter. Today is Sept 22nd... do you realize, i'll be the first to say it... only 3 months (93 days) until Christmas! YIKES!! How did THAT happen? But there is alot to look forward to during those 3 months too.. so let's not rush it. For now, I just need to figure out how much earlier I have to leave for work to be able to 'deal with' the wind. Happy Friday and have a Great Weekend!

It's all in perspective...

I am thankful to say that I have a stomach virus this weekend. Sounds hardly something you would expect someone to say... but let's put it in perspective.

Friday morning (very early) I woke up feeling very queasy. Ok, I thought I was gonna heave. So I went back to bed in hopes I'd feel better later.. well, I woke at 7:30 and felt somewhat better, but slow and sluggish... by 10am I managed to get dressed and drive to my office to attempt transferring a few files. That lasted all of 2 hours. I had severe cramps in the upper portion of my stomach. So I went off to rest.

Later I got a phone call from a friend, concerned about my stomach condition due to the news she heard on the TV. Seems they were recalling all the spinach on the market... due to the outbreak of the e.coli virus. This scared me because I had indeed eaten spinach on Thursday for lunch. So, to make sure of what my particular ailment was... I called around and it was suggested I go to the E.R. and let them test me. I did.

We spent2 hours in the E.R. Friday nite, had blood taken and other body fluids and waited for the tests to come back, which they finally did, showing I had a stomach virus. (but thankfully not e.coli)

So you see, it's all in your perspective. We tend to forget from time to time... that no matter what is happening to us... it could be worse. Someone has it worse. Somewhere.

Thank you Lord, for keeping me well.
