Our Life & Times

Ahhh! I finally have an hour since this last weekend to sit down and post a blog and read some blogs! Actually, this was the first time I have turned my computer on since the last time I blogged, and do you know I had 246 emails! Of course, 245 of the 246 were junk. It figures...

Anyway, I had a real unpleasant experience this morning. It was raining so I had to drive Konnor to school, but I needed to be in Longmont by 8:30 am for a Doctor appt. It usually takes me about 45 minutes to get to the doctor, so I knew I would be running a little late. I have waited well past my appointment times in the past and no one ever apologized for that, but today I was 10 minutes late for my appt so they decided they weren't going to see me and I had to reschedule my physical. Needless to say, I was steaming mad! Especially since I had a horrible ingrown toe nail that was badly infected and I had been waiting for this appointment to have the doctor look at it. So, I gave my sad story about my toe and they fit me in for my toe only, but not my physical. The infection was so bad that it took the doctor about 8 shots of numbing medicine to get it to where I could just bear it, I still felt most of it. I am all bandaged up now and have to take antibiotics 4 times a day for 10 days. Then, I had to go grocery shopping on a half-numb foot. That was pure entertainment!

I am leaving for Denver tomorrow after work to spend the night for the Women of Faith conference with my friend Kathi. It should be fun, but this is the first time I have actually ever spent the night anywhere else without Brian. He has gone on business trips and tractor pulling overnights before, but I have never spent the night away by myself. I am sure Brian and Konnor will have a great time lying in front of the TV, eating junk food, and scratching themselves while I'm gone...:-)

I was planning to blog a little about my own spiritual journey this week leading up to the WOF conference, but as we all know, my plan is not always God's plan and it didn't get done. I guess to sum it all up in a nutshell I am still seeking answers to life's questions like Why me? What is my purpose? You know, probably the same things most people wonder about.
