ANOTHER DAY, BUT NOT ANOTHER DOLLAR!

Are you a reader?  I know many of you are because we have discussed different books that we are reading or have read.  Who wouldn't want one of the items in my title picture?  I would love to have one.  When I read in bed, which is rare, I can't get comfortable.  I stack pillows, turn them upside down, add another, and then the light isn't right.  It would be wonderful to have a place to keep a cup of coffee, tea or a bottle of water wouldn't it?  I want one.....waaaaaaaaaaaaa!

Not sure what we will do today.  Jim has a cousin who is in very poor health.  In fact, it is his heart and they aren't giving him many days to live.  At first they thought surgery would work, but it didn't.  Jim grew up living close to him and playing with him.  He asked yesterday if I would take him there.  He lives Alabama(wanna go Linda? lol) and about an hour or so from here.  I will wait until he wakes up to see if he still wants to go.

Aryn has a ballgame this evening and if we don't travel, we probably will go to her game.  It is not on the mountain but across town.  They only have 3 left before District play.

I still haven't heard from the scheduler about my epidural and had planned to give them until today and will call again.  The cold weather makes my back and legs hurt even more.  We went to church last night and it was bitter cold.  Coming out, I thought I wouldn't make it to the car, I hurt so bad.

My Pastor's wife asked me to give my testimony at the next Ladies Fellowship, or she asked if I would pray about doing that.  I told her I would, and it was sweet of her to ask.

 Can you figure out who the picture is of?  She might be out next President!!!

Have a Happy Thursday!

  1. Good morning, my friend!
    Yes...I too, can never get comfortable reading in bed!
    It always seems like such a good idea...
    Have a wonderful day. Thanks always for your kind words. : )

  2. She better not be our next president!!

    Linda, I understand Jim's desire to see his cousin one more time, but if your legs and back are hurting that bad, you really should not be driving for an hour in the cold, nasty weather. Do you have a Deacon from your church who could be your taxi driver, or a friend or neighbor who would do the driving? I'm worried about you trying to make that long trip. I know, I'm not your mom....

    That reading "chair" would be wonderful, wouldn't it!! I would never want to get out of bed!!! Just let me ring a bell and have the butler bring my coffee.... (right - LOL).

    Good luck to Aryn's team!! Let us know how the games goes, please.

  3. Thanks for caring Terri. Jim decided not to go after all. I told him Murphy isnt working today and probably would go with him, but he said no.....not sure we will make the game either, but will decide closer to time. Afraid my butler would not show up either...lol

  4. Sorry to hear about Jim's cousin.

    I am a reader. I checked 5 books out from the library yesterday. I am reading The Abominable first, as it is a 2 week book (and the others are 4 week books). It's a hefty read, and the writing is dense, so it may take me a while.

  5. I love to read and like you I can't get comfortable in bed. That chair looks perfect.
    I hope that person isn't going to be the next president!

  7. So sorry to hear about Jim's cousin. We're all getting old. It's hard to lose people we love so much. Prayers for you all.

    I want that chair too! It looks so comfy and practical.

    Please, merciful God, don't let Billary be President. It would be 8 more years of what we have now, and worse. Can you imagine Bill in the WH again with time on his, uh, hands? Nooooooo. [shaking head in disbelief] Our Republic truly is dead if that woman wins.

    God bless. ~:)

  8. Hi Linda! I'm getting to blogs late today! I have a back rest like the one that is pictured but I don't have the light that is hooked to it. The cup holder is the best! I'm sorry to here about Jim's cousin. Keeping him in my prayers! I hope you ended up hearing from your doctor's office today.

  9. The place I love to read best is our recliner. I would love to attach an adjustable lamp - - and a book holder cuz my arms can get tired! Then I would like a cook and maybe a maid so I wouldn't have to set the book down and prepare a meal or clean up after it!!! If we are going to dream, I want to "go big"!!!
    Sorry about Jim's cousin. It hurts to lose family who is more like a friend. I sure hope you didn't have to be out today or tonight with this cold weather cuz if you were, I know you are in agony. -- - I'm not voting for her. I still would have preferred her this time over the current person in office - - - and would have voted for her over him - - - but she is not my choice at all.
