The Journey

Heavy weather - difficult breathing. Late again. But I did  get some things done today. I'm not sure whether it's the low pressure center coming at us or the rain, but I have trouble in this kind of weather. (I thought it sounded like a good excuse.  (grinning))

I have wrapped up another thing on my list, at least partially, so we are moving ahead. And some good words from my nurse today. The elastic bank around my middle is not an excess of fluid which would have indicated things were going down hill fast. So that is really good news.

However (why is there always a however???) the doctor took another look at the xrays and decided I either have an excess of mucis or something that needs an antibiotic. Whoever heard of a doctor taking a second and then a third look at an xray? Great doctors down here. That's for sure.

My new thought for today. Last night we were talking, DH and I, and he was being negative. I reminded him that each day that passes means we are both closer to complete happiness. Okay, a Christian viewpoint. But, let me ask a question. What do people who have no faith in a hereafter, no idea there is anything beyond this life, what do they think about as they face death and dying? I would really like to know.

Now, on that interesting note, I'll add two more. Today on facebook, one of my friends talked about diagraming sentences in school. The  comments were interesting. Another thing not taught today. What I found interesting, was my DH and I were talking about just this thing two nights ago. And I wonder what kids do today if they don't have a calculator or cell phone and they have to multiply something. Do they know how???

As a retired teacher, I fear our educational system has fallen apart. And yeah! I'm showing my age.
