The sun is rising on the river, brilliant red in color this Friday morning. I have been wakeful since about two a.m., I think, unless I miscounted the chimes of the clock. A couple times I turned over in my bed to try to sleep some more, and I may have, but not fast asleep. Whatever is living inside my abdomen is roaring and gurgling, rolling and cramping at times. Sometimes I think it’s hunger, as that is the sensation it exhibits, as if I am wildly hungry, but I am not. Yesterday I finished off my raspberry sherbet and later in the day, ate the leftover green beans from Monday’s birthday dinner with Justin. It does not hurt all the time nor does the cramp last very long. If I were to call the doctor and manage to get an appointment today, I just wonder what she would be able to do for me. Likely she would listen to my tummy and try to figure out just what it’s trying to say!
Last night I tried to stay awake long enough to watch the Jaguar game, and was glad I had, at first. Right off the bat they were up by six points against the Patriots but that changed dramatically before long. When I quit watching, the score was 29-12, so I switched back to the debates until I fell asleep. When I woke this early morning, I got to watch them again, in full, and then the follow-up programming.
Besides my aching tummy, I am waiting to hear back from my condo insurance claims adjuster as I was met with a packet of paperwork in regard to the Great Flood last year. The insurer for the unit below mine wants to collect for the loss from Butch and from me. Butch has already given a deposition in regard to this but I did not know I had the same stuff waiting for me. I have 30 days to respond and since I was gone from home much of that time, I am running short of it! The adjuster, Greg, is so reassuring all the time (he’s the one who suggested I find something else to worry about the last time I got such a letter!) and is addressing this situation for me. Hopefully I will hear from him today. I have my liability insurance with this same company so we shall see how this all plays out. I really wish it were over, once and for all!
Justin offered to bring me some more sherbet today and I also asked for some diet Jello, already made, from the store. This week I had to run around to get him cold medicine and now he can return the favor. I would like to try some toast to see how that sits but hesitate in doing so. It’s nearly the weekend and time’s a wastin’ here!!!!! I haven’t been to the pool since Tuesday morning and the temps have been so amenable to swimming. Saturday I am supposed to be at a funeral for Iva, actually a memorial service, but the way it looks, I might have miss it, unless I feel dramatically better. Sure don’t wish to make anyone else sick, right?
Judy C. called me yesterday to see if I was going to the Worship Committee meeting last night. She did not know I was feeling poorly but said that Pastor had asked her to give a presentation about the Worship Conference. He had said the same thing to me but I didn’t think it was to be presented at this meeting. I had told him the two of us would put something together when we had a chance to get together. She told me she was going to use the keynote address booklet we received, highlighting various areas that were valuable. Not many people would be at last night’s meeting since the musician and head of the Altar Guild were away, and we have no head elder at present. Perhaps later I will work some more on my notes and such, which Judy yields to me in that regard any way. And I truly love doing it!
