You have no idea how glad I am to see a new week! I got a phrase from a comedian, years ago. This guy was talking about how parents speak violence on their children. His mom said, "I'm going to knock you into the middle of next week!" He would reply to himself, "Please do....I'm having a rough time this week!"
The A/C is back on the fritz again (today was 91 degrees but the 'feels like' was 115) and the A/C is running constant and it's 78 degrees......I hate to sweat! Nothing puts me in a worse mood than sweating! How are you suppose to 'try' to do whatever housework I can do when after 5 minutes you want to do an Incredible Hulk scream. So, I've done very little and we have bunches of fans. Nothing can be done today. Come tomorrow, something has to be done. The refrigerator is still not working well. We use the freezer on the frige to keep things cold. We have that turned up as high as it will go. These two things have been going on for a couple of weeks, now. Anything with freon (sp) does not work well in this house. Both of these things will somehow have to be replaced, but God, Bless His Holy Name, alone only knows how. Thank You, Lord for helping us to limp on.
But even breaking a tooth didn't upset me very much as I've had a root canal on it. I will get to the dentist next month. Oh, and when I took the trash out this week I fell with my legs in the street, and my arms wrapped around the ironing board I'd also thrown out. Now THAT could have been funny and I couldn't see it. Thank You, Lord no one was up and could see me. I could just see someone coming along and saying, "What are you doing down there?" and I would reply, "I always have my first cup of coffee in the morning outside and in this position!" I wasn't hurt from it.....just felt stupid!
But the request I'm asking about is our little Maltese puppy (he's only 1 year old) as he's terminally sick. His first exam exposed a heart murmur, but we were told not to worry about it too much as most puppies outgrow it. Last week we discovered he was going blind. He kept running into things.....once or twice is funny....over that meant a problem. He can see light. He has cataracts like an old dog. BUT, they can learn how to live fairly normal lives. But when our vet said his heart murmur was quite significant, our hearts fell. His suggestion was to take him home and keep him as comfortable as possible. I asked him how long Carson has and he said that every prediction he's ever made was wrong. So it could be from present to a year. I don't want him to suffer. We love him enough to give him to God, Bless His Holy Name.
I would appreciate it if you guys kept us all, including Carson, in your prayers. From the bottom of my heart, I thank you.
