vacation

This is the last week of vacation and I haven't done a cotton-pickin' thing that's been productive other than go to PROP this afternoon to see about fuel assistance. I'm hoping that they approve me again this year and that they come through with help for CMP and Portland Water. That would certainly be a help and welcomed relief. It's been hard and I'm in the midst of trying to trust God for sending help -- providing for me, as He promises. Very hard for me for some reason.

Last week I was sick all week - not a fun way to spend my school vacation, but at least I wasn't missing any school because of it. It was horrible though. I had this horrible dizziness that lasted for at least 4 days on top of a cold. It was dreadful. If it was only just the cold, it wouldn't have been so bad, but that dizziness was really hard to live with. I couldn't go too long without having to lie down. NOT fun.

This morning, I stayed in bed till almost 8am. I was awake before, but didn't feel like getting up. Well, it IS vacation after all. ;)

I've got to pick up some projects like crocheting soon. I didn't even get any blankets to the Peabody House this past December and I don't like that. I didn't do ANYthing for charity -- or hardly anything. Horrible feeling.

I've been here at the house for a year and it's great. Doesn't feel that long and doesn't seem like a reality even now. But, what a joy it is -- even with some of the bad that's happened. God is GOOD!!!
