    My back is, “out”. Which means I can hardly get out of bed, and, there is no bending over. At all. And, pain. 
    Usually I know how it happened. Not this time. In service yesterday,, I was grateful to be put in a car with some bible studies. 
    This is the type of pain that no sort of pain numbing pill will work. I am hooked up to a TENS machine. 
    I got it because at the conventions, my back would hurt so bad, I wanted to cry. Again, pain pills will not work. 
    So, me and my little machine will be good friends until this is over.
     (I always get scared that I’ve done something really bad to my back that will almost incapacitate myself.) So far...
    Sorry for complaining.☹️

    When I bought my 2015 Equinox back on April it had some dents and rust spots in those areas so they said they would fix those.
     
    Today I finally brought it to them for the repairs.
     
    They gave me a loaner. A 2020 Equinox. 😳😳😳
     
    First time I used the brakes I thought I was going thru the window. Wow 😲!  
     
    I was even afraid to just tap them LOL. 
     
    But I safely made it home.  ☺️

    Very sad day for me today.
     
    Before 8:30 am this morning my spiritual mom messaged me to call her.
     
    I went to pick her up to bring her to the hospital where a couple brothers met us and they went with “mom” into the room.
     
    Dad past away early this morning. He was in the hospital for a while, put in a nursing home for about 3 weeks or so. Came home about 3 weeks ago on Monday, Tuesday night he was taken by ambulance and ended up in ICU. never leaving that floor.
     
    Started him on dialysis this week. Took 30 pounds of water out on Wednesday and another 40 on Thursday and told mom they wanted to take another 20 today...she wouldn’t sign the papers.
     
    With 5th stage kidney disease, heart disease, and a host of other issues, dad’s no longer in pain. 
     
    Dad’s in Jehovah’s memory. 
     
    As a sister told me when my “real” mom passed away, “There’s no better place to be.”

    Tonight bad news, one of our brother's got DF'D.  The influence of the air got him.  The brother was baptized on the same day and month I was along with several others.  Out of the 6 of us baptized, he and I were the only ones left in the truth. Then this happened. It really hurt my heart that his happened this evening.  I know if he repents, he'll be back!

    Okay. I’ve done it. We have a safe. (We don’t lock our doors when we leave. We figure if they got to the house, past the big, growly dogs, they are serious about getting in.)
    We are so rural, that, well, come on in, don’t do damage, take what you desperately need, and, just go! 
    Among what we might loose, we don’t need to be repairing windows or doors. 
    Sooooo. Oh, we have a safe. A big one. We put things in there that really mean something to us. 
    Me? My jewelry. Some of it is worth a little, but most of it, well, I’d be hard pressed to replace it. Never mind what is gifts...
    Anyway, I have a red, sparkly box, about 6x8 inches or so. It has a bow on it! It has the pieces that mean the most to me. 
    And, yes, I vaguely remember stashing it someplace, thinking, “I will remember”. Yep.
    The house is not that big, but, my stashy places are numerous. From when we didn’t have the safe. 
    I got lazy, and am paying for it.
    I will find it...I know I will.

    Say "may" because our new hall needs to pass several inspections first.
     
    With the quality and care that goes into our sacred service in building for Jehovah, I cannot imagine the inspectors denying the necessary permits.
     
    Though we are all grateful for the use of the County Museum's basement, we will NOT be unhappy to vacate it.
