Yesterday my brother fell in his yard and hit face down on dirt and gravel. His face is banged up but he does not seem to have anything broken. He did go to urgent care and is on antibiotic. Please pray for healing to not leave scars. Also, this will make it hard to attend job interviews for awhile. He had planned to go to a job fair today. He will probably miss church on Sunday, too. 😦
He was carrying a lot of recycling materials and was going under a wire in his yard and somehow his boot got caught in a wire on the ground and he tripped. Just one of those stupid accidents in this “fallen” world. Thank you for praying.
It is looking more and more like a form of Munchausen. Prayer for Truth to come out and wisdom on how to deal with it. She may also be lifting money from my dad’s wallet.
Jo’s mention of holidays made me recall the signs that were up at the city’s public libraries on Saturday when I was taking Carol around —
Library closed March 28
Library closed March 29 in observance of Cesar Chavez Day
Interesting, no explanation of why the library would be closed on Sunday (which is Easter, of course, but then it’s also left off of most of the wall and desk calendars I buy or look at now, too).
speaking of Carol, she texted me last night, somewhat excited, that a “soldier” from Afghanistan had sent her a FB message saying that her photo looked like an “angel” and would she be interested in corresponding … I told her it’s a scam, don’t engage (too late, she already had), but she seemed to accept my explanation of the anonymous outreach so hopefully she’s cut that off.
Okay, daughter has acknowledged making it up for her friends and then watching it snowball. We of course love her and forgive her but wonder if there needs to be more help for her or if it was just a stupid teenager thing. Wisdom.
She feels so bad, we were concerned she might go suicidal on us. But my dad is handling it well and I keep reassuring her, so I think she will be okay. We will continue to talk.
New Doctor working on my back and shoulder. Six days of steroids and no pain meds. Not sure I can make it. I’m so tired of this. I just wanted to clean my house.
It could be worse Mumsee.
BG desperately wanted a brother or sister. Her dad and I were already divorced. A friend of hers told her to just tell everyone I was going to have a baby!!!!!
Luckily I found out about this plan BEFORE any rumors were spread. Have a mentioned I live in a small town?????
A huge relief. Evidently, she did go in and had a mammogram and biopsy but the results were negative. Somehow, with peer pressure helping, she managed to tell her friends it was positive and needed surgery, but they were not supposed to tell me. When one told me, it all snowballed out of her control. And God, Who is Truth, was there all the time, letting the Light shine in such a way that she was very quickly found out. We are forever grateful.
Her younger brother, our seventeen year old strong and steady, told me one of his friend’s has a sister who pulled the same thing a couple of years ago. She had the whole family believing she had cancer for nearly two years. Apparently, it is quite common in people this age.
My husband’s pain is increasing again, and he hopes he won’t have to have a hernia surgery redo. I’m not sure when he can get back in to be seen. Thanks for prayers.
Janet, how frustrating for your brother! I am sure it is one more pain on top of the job search.
I am somewhat relieved my folks rejected getting a computer. There are some others that are better off without one. I shudder to think about all the vulnerable people online. Soon there will be little choice of course.

Good Friday and Easter Monday are national holidays here in PNG. All of our departments are closed and I am not sure about stores in town.

We much prefer this to her having cancer. She is seeing how many people love her and forgive her.

So, there’s nothing wrong with her at all except wanting attention?
That is a relief.

Sorry, Janice, about changing your name! My head is not in a good state right now. Some kind of bug. I can finally see the end in sight, however.

So, she knew enough not to tell her mother, but not enough to realize the Mama Bear would demand answers if she thought her child’s life was at stake.
