Feels Like Home

things have been better but they are ok

So as the title suggests things are ok

The numbness has been gone for about 6 weeks. It went away just before the new migrane medicine or blood pressure med i am taking for migranes and the headaches have been gone too which is good. About 3 weeks ago I started fighting a cold though. Post nasal action earaches and cough. Good times. I am still struggling with that, mostly ear aches.
The achiness and tiredness however hasn't subsided. Over break i slept from 9:30 pm to 8 am and couldn't make it through the day without a 2 hours nap. Tonight my shoulder and my chest hurt. It sucks. I will perservere. I know it is prolly just inflamation. I am exahusted. But I keep meditating on jeremiah, Heal me and I will be healed, Save me and I will be saved, Good times.
I have a bijjilion pages to write for my two english classes and I hate getting started any kinda projects so I need to get on that already. Being tired does not help. Only like 3 more weeks left to school this semester. I digress.

In other news I feel like God has been growing me so much this semester despite my wanting a break and it makes school things take a back burner. I know that he has so many great plans for my life and i can't wait to see how they take shape.

One of those plans involves moving into a new place come january. I will be living with 3 of my good friends from basic. They already have the house and I will be taking a room forma girl who is moving out. I think it will be fun. The house is georgeous and clean and the kitchen is huge. It is so exciting.

I have also been watching my friends baby. He is sooo cute. Today he was grumpy teething and what not and he finally fell asleep and then a little while later he spit his binky out while he was sleeping and then all of a sudden he stuck his whole hand in his mouth and I was like ok...because the whole time he is asleep and then he starts to gag on his own hand. Silly boy. So i traded him his hand for his binky again. Ah 3 months olds. It is the best job ever and i missed him so much last week while i was home.
Ok I would write more but my shoulder is throbbing so i am going to hit the showers. Know you are all in my prayers tonight. Be healed and whole.

Shalom,
Kate

Picture This

Today was a busy day.

I started the day headed to church. Today was the club gratitude puppet play. My preschool and kindergarteners had to "sing" a song. They basically stood up front like deer in the headlights while I mouthed the words to them encouraging them feebily to sing louder by putting my hand to my ear. Yeah, I have become one of those ladies.
This was followed by the older kids doing the puppet show while my kids watched and another attempt to "sing" a song. Then came my favorite sunday activity, all the kids went into the basement while the adults had a real sermon. Our church recently invested in what we lovingly refer to as "the bounce house", i bet you never knew a post could have so many quotations. Ah yes, the bounce house is a big hit. We also had cookies and played a lively game of please please thank you(duck duck goose) and when i got tired of the loudness my all time favorite game "dead worms". Dead worms basically consists of me being the fisherman and all the kids are worms. I am looking for live worms because they make great bait so if they move they are out because I will choose them as bait. So esencially it buys me some time with them laying completely still on the ground. They love this game. I love this game. Everyone wins.
After church I convinced Karen and by default Djere to model for me in the park. I had an assignment to work on for photo 1 and the weather being in the fifties it was perfect. Karen was excited, djere loves Karen, you get the idea. Then Mel called and i ran down to the lake and shot a whole roll of her and sailboats. I only fell once and i didn't hurt any of my equipment, my foot is another story.
So yeah then I went to lunch with my brother and his wife and future baby ehlrich, just kidding, not the babies name. Mel was there too. Anywho we went to the Mid-China buffet because i am poor and we ate too much and then they went back to rochester and I chilled with Meghan. I was killing time till the photo studio opened which i thought was 5 but was actually 7. So I took a nap till 5 while megs wrote her paper and then went over but it was too early, wrote and e-mail and killed some time in the library and treked back over. I developed the film and while the negatives were drying drove back home for my print paper and back to school to do my proof sheet. The mel roll got kinda gimped when i developed it, i rolled it incorectly but the djere/karen roll came out perfect. I should have gotten in closer on some shots but i think they were ok. It is a project based on a famous artist and i think i am capturing a little bit of his essence, hopefully i will do ok. So yeah i got done developing around 10 and then headed over to drop those by my willing models and now i am home.
Busy busy day. Vacation can't come soon enough.
