Daily Check-in
I had a dose of Rhythmic Step comfort after my quiet time this morning to welcome the official first day of spring. I waited too long to start wearing new shoes, and I am paying the price for it. Oh, my aching feet!
I received a phone call from my church early this morning. A friend died unexpectedly late yesterday. Her husband found her in their bed. He is a trauma surgeon, but there was nothing he could do for her. She was already gone. I just found out that she was depressed. I wish I had known. She was such a good friend to me when I was battling intense depression. I have fond memories of the night she made me come over to her home and play dress-up with the wild clothes in her closet. She could make me laugh even when I was in the pit of depression. I am not sure if an autopsy will be done or not, but I am hoping that she did not take her own life. Depression is hell. This I know all too well. Please pray for her family. Her husband and her son are having such a hard time with this. Her memorial service will be Friday afternoon.
My cycle still has not started. I have no appetite. The sight and smell of food has been nauseating and repulsive to me all day. I had chills this afternoon and hope I am not coming down with something. I had a hard time keeping my dinner down. I did not actually throw up, but trying to eat was a challenge. I kept gagging. I finally gave up on the pasta, went to the mall to pay a bill, and ate a small cup of frozen yogurt. It was good.
I am going to bounce on my rebounder for a few minutes and call it a day. My Needak rebounder has a nice mat that soothes my aching feet when I bounce gently on it. A warm bubble bath and a restful night of sleep will be nice too.
Jane and Tammy, I am still praying. In fact, I am thinking about pulling away from the computer for a few days to be still and pray. If I do not check in again until the weekend, I am in my prayer closet. Please do not worry about me.
Blessings,
Heather B.
