I do not usually blog about personal things, but just thought I would talk about a few things on my mind.

For those of you who are willing, I would like you to say a prayer for me, in a few regards.

First of all, I am trying to get a little home based business off the ground.  My husband paid some money for me to take a course on how to do this, and, of course, is expecting me to make a good go of it.  I am in hopes that I will too, but it is taking a bit of doing.  It takes ages to sign up for surveys, as they do screening surveys first to get all of our personal tastes and details in order to know which surveys to send me.  Then I find I am inundated with mail in my inbox, asking me to consider everything under the sun that even remotely resembles working from home.  So, I hope plowing through the beginning will be worth it. 

I am learning how to go about blogging and getting it to make money with it, but that is next on the tutor's agenda.  Please just pray that I will do well with all of this, as I have just not felt mentally stable enough to go out to work.  So much of the unpleasant things about my past have been wrapped up in the workplace that I get anxious thinking about going back, although I can do it if i really give it a go.

And, oh dear!  I just got over a bout of ear infection, where I could hardly lift my head from the pillow for dizziness, with incessant coughing along with it!  I thank God for that, but I was so thrilled to have so much energy, that I bounded off to Curves For Women, the exercise club I attend, and had just had a wonderful workout, when at the very last, the rest of the women and I heard a snapping noise....and it was a tendon in my calf!  That had never happened to me in the past, and it liked to have killed me! 
I can hardly walk on the thing, and the only thing that dulls the ache a bit is the Lortabs the doctor so lovingly bestowed on my grateful self!  So, that is the second thing to pray for, since I can't very well be drugged up and do the work as well, and it is SO SORE without the meds!  So, I am just going to trust that it is well very quickly, so I can get back into the swing of things!

I am excited to be going to Kentucky in May for my daughter's graduation, which is another good reason to be completely healthy.  I have never made a flight alone before, but I am sure it will be very exciting.  I am one who has  no inhibitions when it comes to asking questions if I cannot find my way in the huge Chicago airport!  This move to Utah was the first time I have ever left my kids more than just to a camp every now and then, and I am so psyched about seeing them again.  And I will be able to see my daughter's engagement ring, as she has been 'espoused' since I left!

So that is a good ending to this rather drab expose. 

And last, but not least; thank you so much for all of the comments and compliments on my work of late! It spurs me on to write more, so thank you for the encouragement!

Giirrrrl. I am doing what you are doing! And, to be honest... it starts off slow. Real slow. Like, I have made 3 dollars in a week. 3.

But one day...One day it will be big!

Re: A bit of updating
Oh yes, and you are most definitely in my prayers.

Re: A bit of updating
Thank you, sweetie!  I really really needed this encouragement.  I have not made anything.  Everyone just offers prizes or points or something.  And my tutor is calling tomorrow, expecting me to have done five surveys.  Hell, I have done hunnerds but not to any profit.

And (moan groan) I can't access my mail at the moment, for some reason, and in my drugged state (Lortab buzz) I just want to sleep.

Re: A bit of updating
Thanks, Scott.  I am in a bit of a drugged state and all I can do is cry today, cause I want to sleep but have to try and work...and now I can't get to my email for some reason; Yahoo won't let me in right now, and that is where all the survey emails are. 

Oh well, maybe I am meant to rest and get this bloomin leg better, and forget about anything else!

Sorry for moaning; I promise not to make it a habit!

You snapped a tendon?  Yikes!  That must have really hurt!

Lord Jesus, heal Bonnie, by Your grace.

Re: A bit of updating
Thank you so much for the prayer; I woke up about ten thirty and it feels a tad better, altho I am still taking pain meds, too sore without them.  But by the time I woke up, I think your prayer had kicked in a bit, altho I am very tearful...just so frustrated and scared that I will fail with this stupid internet thing.  I seem to fail at so much!  I know and told the Lord I was sorry for being a wimp and that I know I should speak to this in faith, but the tears are just sliding out, nonetheless.

And yes, it definitely snapped; about five of us heard it, and I could not walk on the leg at all, at first.  And yes, it hurt like crazy, but, as I said, feels a tiny bit better today, which is encouraging.

Have I told you lately what a blessing it is to have you in my life, sir?

Re: A bit of updating
No, but you've always been encouraging, as the good sister you are.

I'll continue to pray for you.  That would really hurt.

Re: A bit of updating
Thank you so much; and I think the Lortabs, (or the jerky I ate) caused me to have chills and heave until my sides are aching from the strain and my throat is raw from the acid.  But, by this morning, thankfully, I felt weak, but mostly better. I can't walk properly on my leg yet, but when I am not trying to do that, I hardly feel the pain at all.  So I may just be better and back to exercising again by Monday.

And thank you again for the prayers!

Bonnie -

 

Indeed I shall pray for your physical healing and financial success.  Hang in there!

 

(My own second knee replacement surgery is scheduled for this coming Monday....and last Friday they told me I need a new hip, too!!!  Not a welcome bit of news at all.  Thankfully we are living in a time of great medical innovations.)

 

Prayers for healing accepted here, too.  Thank you.

Re: A bit of updating
Oh (funny how i forgot your first name right now, in my fuzzy drug induced state...so sorry) I will indeed asking God to help you through all of this.  I bet I will be up and about long before you, with all you have to go through!  It makes me feel guilty for complaining!  But sometimes you just have to let it out and need for the encouraging words of a few friends!  And I am glad to say that my friends have come through, for which I am extremely grateful.

How's it going?   Thank you.  (sherry)

Re: A bit of updating
Sorry for forgetting, Sherry!  Going quite well at present.  Things to work thru, as I always have fear when getting into something new, so try to sleep my life away in order to ignore it, even if it is something I actually like!  So just say a little prayer that I will be able to work thru fear, okay?

Re: A bit of updating
And you know what? On top of all that, I ate a bit of jerky yesterday, and I don't know if it was all the Lortabs, or that, but I got chills and so sick that ...well you know....my stomach and sides are still sore from all the heaving!  It definitely took my mind from my sore leg!

I am feeling weak, but chipper today, so all is well!
Thanks for the hugs...I needed them!

Re: A bit of updating
oh B...I am feeling with you...

It isn't fun at all...but tomorrow is a new day..

and I am glad that you feel chipper...

bonniegirl on
Re: A bit of updating
That;s right; I took it easy today on the eating thing; still a bit of stomach weakness but no more heaving, thank God.  I think that is about the worst a body can feel, just before you 'give it up'.

But yes, sore throat from acid and sore sides but WONDERFUL!
