I just want to go to sleep. I don’t want to brush and floss and… well, floss and brush and floss, and then clean and put on my retainers… I just want to go to sleep.
But my mouth feels icky. There’s no way I physically could stand not brushing my teeth, let alone the mental aspect of going to bed without cleaning my teeth and mouth from the day’s buildup. Ugh – super gross.
So, yeah… got to go do that now.

In a good way today. I am grateful. Thank you for the blessings and the love and for keeping us all safe and well. Please, heal my brother of his current ailment. In your name, I pray. Amen.

The baptism was quick and to the point, the party was happy and reasonably easy, and I think we all genuinely had a quite good time. And the food was very good. I need to get The Godfather to smoke us brisket all the time in the future – some of the best I’ve ever had, it was, basically, perfect.
Thank you, God, for the blessings of today. In your name, we pray. Amen.

There is a decent amount to be done on the morning, but I think it is very doable at this point. I just have to put our clean laundry on the bed in our bedroom, and then put the random baby stuff into the baby room. After that, I find out if the outfit fits our baby, and then I get dressed and we’re ready to go!
I don’t think my husband has so simple a list for his part…
Ugh.
I just wish we were getting much more sleep than we are about to get. God, grant us wonderful sleep, please, that we be refreshed and delighted and ready to participate in your blessings in the morning and all day tomorrow. In your name, I pray. Amen.

I have had a touch of trouble yawning lately. I struggle a bit to get to that good, full, shudder-level of a yawn sometimes. It reminds me of when I have a cough, and it feels like the cough is about to burst out, and so can’t stop it. Though, no cough comes. It’s just that the yawn’s climax doesn’t occur. I usually have to reposition myself a touch and/or focus really hard on keeping everything in my face and throat relaxed enough not to cough or whatever instead. It’s been quite weird. Perhaps I really am just fighting off yet another cold, and the whole throat bit is because of bacteria my throat is fighting off. Perhaps I’ve just got something a bit odd going on at the moment. Perhaps I’m just so tired and not sleeping enough, this is the result.
Whatever the case, God, heal me and make me well, please. Keep my family safe and well and together, please. In your name, I pray. Amen.

I find it hard that my husband neither wants nor is willing to massage my muscles. In my brain, even if he doesn’t want to do it, he knows that I really would love for him to do it, and so he then, in a way, would want to do it. He also would understand the value of offering to do it, and would do so here and there. All because he knows how much it means to me, and he loves me and wants to express his love to me and to care for me. He, of course, does not offer, and only begrudgingly agrees to do it in increments of about two minutes every so many days, and only if I nearly beg in desperation.
So, that sucks.
But it has me wonder what I don’t do that he wishes I would. The reverse of my situation, his version of it. What does it suck for him that I am unwilling or not wanting to do that matters to him?
I actually asked him about this, but he didn’t have anything that came to mind. Naturally, he didn’t ask me the same question, yet I had several things that came to mind without trying… ::big sigh

Nothing quite annoys me so badly as when folks talk about things, problems especially, theoretically, when they can be easily genuinely calculated or figured out.
Stop wasting life – just figure it out and do something about it. You know what I mean?

I don’t like going to bed late. I just don’t.
Post-a-day 2025
I elevated my hips with a sturdy pillow tonight during my physical therapy activities, because I remembered how it had helped specifically on one of the exercises when I’d felt fatigued. I had underestimated how good it could feel to have my hips elevated so. The pillow at the physical therapy office was nothing like this one, so it had mostly just felt lumpy and in the way. But having a sturdy pillow under my hips has felt awesome and helpful these past 20 minutes. And so, for the first time in almost three weeks, I finally managed to elevate my hips for 15 minutes. Had I not added this specific pillow to the bed two days ago, I still wouldn’t have done it tonight. It was just because this pillow was here that I made the effort at all to elevate them, instead of just struggling through the exercises without a pillow.
Anyway, glad that has worked out now!
Thank you for today, Lord. Thank you for my family and for our home. Please, keep us safe and make us well and keep us together. In your name, I pray. Amen.
