Here's What Makes Me Feel Better...

SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE!!!!

This has got to be my favorite show on TV right now, and I will tell you why. I love to watch others dance, mainly because while I do have rhythm, I have very little natural dancing ability. I also like that the judges actually critique the dancer's skills instead of just saying, "Your face looks like a baboon." The last thing is that Kate loves to watch with me, and we have special bonding time.

Here's a few updates:

New toilet: $130. Phone Call to Jack to install new toilet: 1 cent. Toll taken on father/daughter relationship when new toilet fails to install as expected: infinite. Phone call to plumber: 1 cent. New toilet PLUS professional installation: $300. Sound of flushing from hall bathroom: PRICELESS.

I'm bearing weight on the injured foot and there's hardly a trace of limp. I doubt a pedicure is in my near future, but I think a complete recovery is in order.

I went to the doctor for a follow up on my suspected thyroid issue, and it looks like that isn't really the reason for the dizzy spells and nausea I've been having. And no, I am not pregnant. Anyhooo, Dr M thinks it is an inner ear thing, and that more likely than not it will resolve itself over the next few weeks. If not, we will start to investigate other causes. Like brain tumors and lymphoma. I was really happy with my Dr today, because I feel like so many doctors just throw drugs at you, and I really didn't want to leave the office with a handful of prescriptions and a feeling of doom.

I had a great conversation with my sis-in-law today. After yesterday's I'm a winner/loser conversation, we both had the same revelation today...(get a pencil so you can write it down, just kidding) How can I feel like life is unfair and God isn't there for me, when there is obviously more that I can be doing to get my life in order? I have definitely fallen out of some good habits, and it is just dumb of me to expect a lot when I haven't delivered a lot. At a minimum, I know I would feel more equipped to deal with what life hands out. I always seem to learn the hard way. Maybe one of these days I will evolve enough to be a little bit wiser about life.

I totally just had a Doogie Howser flashback because I typed the moral of the story at the end of a heartfelt tale. NERDY!! And if you are too young to remember Doogie Howser, MD, don't mention it to me. I'm still feeling fragile.

Give a natural doctor a shot they've helped me a lot & they don't b.s. as much & prescribe anything just to mask the problem.

To find one go to www.naturopathic.org. Make sure they have credentials behind their name on their website.

I like Kate's "Pee or poo?" comment. It's only natural to wonder.

What comes from age is that you finally realize that life goes by too quickly to try to be someone you aren't, but to enjoy the small blessings we are given each day, and leave all the rest in the hands of our Heavenly Father! He knows whats going to happen anyway, and I can't think of anyone better to give my life to!
