Sydney cleaned 4 small bags of garbage from his room on the agreement with grandma that he get 1 garbage bag full out of his room of trash in exchange for several paint brushes and a styrofoam head. He has always needed an incentive to get what he wants and at one time I gave him weekly rewards out of a treasure box when his weekly school conduct report was good. Tonight after returning home from a visit to Cape Fair, he worked hastily at retrieving bags, luggage, and other items so that he could get his reward.
Just minutes before arriving home I noticed a silhouette in the dark, the corner of my eye caught an even darker figure. I turned on the light and Sydney hollered, "PULL OVER". I asked him for his shoe and in a split second the palm sized spider was all gutted out over the words AIRBAG. After making sure the spider was history and his skeletal remains were on the sole of Sydney's slip-on loafer, Sydney grabbed his shoe and proceeded to roll down his window and get rid of the carcus. He said loudly,"That was one big-ass spider". He quickly apologized and I didn't get after him because I was thinking the same thing.
My heart was sorrowful when I was told that Linda from church died. Such a Godly woman is now home and I'm happy for her. I am stingy and want to see people happy and healthy here on earth but us Christians are fighting a war, and though God doesn't need our help, I like to at least think we are in the dug-out rooting for the home team, The Pearly Gater's vs. The Inferno's. We know who wins this game already.
Surgery is next week and I know that I will get some relief from this pain, but I'm hoping for the moon that I can get back to what I was before all of this. It's pretty bad when the slightest movement towards the left, up, or down sends knife stabbing hot pokers through your body. I'm nervous but ready. I stopped at a Walmart to see if they had any lounging jammies (PJ's) that button up the front that was recommended by Dr Li's nurse. I found a pair marked down twice and when I got to the register it was marked down even more along with a pair of shorts. God's got my back again, even for $10.00 off of jammies.
