And One More Thing

-
So, I whined a lot yesterday about being sick and about all the things that never happen to me are happening to me, well guess what?  One more thing has happened!!!!!!!  I have pretty much officially lost my voice.  As in I didn't work today, because I really can barely talk, even worse than the last few days.  Now, with enough effort, I can get audible sentences at all times, but in no way would I be having a shouting contest with anyone.  So, I just want to know if I have been humbled enough by all this that I can soon start to feel better again.

And I keep reading about this virtuous woman.  I'm doing this study from GoodMorningGirls blog and it has really helped the Proverbs 31 woman to not be so lofty and out of reach.  I don't know if it's all accurate in the details, but the lady who wrote the e-book to go with it takes the verses and brings them down to our times.  "Bringeth her food from afar,"  equals scrupulous and frugal shopping where you are looking for healthy, cheap, and quality products, not just running to the corner store for the last minute ingredient or TV dinner.  I can do that.  I can coupon, sort of, and I can shop Aldi's and sales and all that kind of stuff.  Maybe I can be something of a figment of imagination on the the Proverbs 31 woman.  Something I keep trying for.  Sitting on the couch isn't helping too much though.

I was feeling a little too sorry for myself this afternoon.  I thought I was getting better, but could feel the little aches coming again.  Then my sister called to say she was going to go straight to my parents instead of stopping in to see me and that really disappointed me.  So, I gave in to my little aches, checked to see that I was AGAIN running a low-grade fever, popped some pills, and came back to languish away on the couch in a big old pity party.

Does anyone know anything about buying stock in ibuprofen?  I should be doing that for all the pills I have popped in the last few days.  And yes, all you healthy people out there who frown on ibuprofen, when the going gets bad, the tough take ibuprofen.  And yes, I know that didn't make a lick of sense.  I decided the only people I would wish this horrible flu on were the people who made comments like: "Surely, it can't be that bad."  "Wouldn't you feel better if you got up and did something?"  I really can't say thank-you enough to D for the good care he has taken of me, even getting up in the middle of night to bring me pills and milk and a yogurt I couldn't eat.  He's the best.

And now, I will let you go and try to get busy on the project on my agenda and try not to bore you anymore with my tales of woe.

Fragrant Whiffs of Joy by Dorcas Smucker (It's Giveaway time)

Ah yes, this was just what the doctor ordered. I've wanted to review Dorcas' last book or two and was always too chicken to ask, but this time I threw caution to the wind and said, "Yes, I want to review your book." And I'm so glad I did. It was the perfect book for this stage in my life. Short, easy to read chapters that can be picked up and read whenever and wherever. They are guaranteed to either make you laugh, smile, cry, or or just give you that ah-ha feeling that someone else experiences life like that too.  I could quote from pretty much every chapter something that struck me in one of those ways, but I really want you to go buy the book so I won't do that many spoilers. I only want to give you a hint of what is to come in the book. First off, isn't the cover beautiful? I can dream of a kitchen table like that with the apple pie still steaming and the tea pot, or coffee pot more likely, full to the brim and a beautiful arrangement of flowers ...

All the Pretty Things by Edie Wadsworth

I haven't posted a book review in over two weeks, I must be lazing off!!! Actually, I had two books going at once and also read a non-review book in between. Not that I think anyone missed me or anything. But just to be clear, I am back and have about six books to review in the next few weeks. Okay, "All the Pretty Things". When I started this book, I loved it. I thought it was an amazing story and it is. Edie was born to an alcoholic father. She rarely saw him sober, but she loved him and enabled him until his dying day. She missed that father figure in her life and attempted to salve that wound by working hard at everything she put her hand to except her marriage. She was raised in rather extreme poverty. Her parents divorced and both remarried, but divorced again. She was abused as a child, though it became a repressed memory that came out through recurring nightmares. She was introduced to Jesus and would often respond to altar calls to make sure she was saved. Sh...
