TRIPLE LOW???

Sometimes I wonder if I should just stay in bed and pull the covers up over my head. I've had a couple of days of "triple lows" .. I am tempted to look at a biorhythm to see if this is the case.
Did you ever have a day or two that no matter what you did, it ended in disaster? Well.. that's me. The bull in the china shop personified.
I was amazed that when I took the pictures of the hornets yesterday, that I wasn't attacked. I think God's grace and mercy was working overtime for me. I had a lot of "near disasters"..
It wasn't bad enough we were late for church, but I HAD to use the restroom before I sat down for worship, elsewise I'd have been running to the potty in the middle of a sermon.. something I won't do unless it's an emergency- like having to puke. Well.. the restroom was in use and there were 2 other women waiting their turn, so I decided to run to the basement of the church and use the restroom there.. the door from the social room was propped open, so I didn't see the notice on it which announced the restrooms were 'out of order' as I breezed by.. I got to the basement and found out that little detail... So back up the stairs- this time so much slower- the race down the stairs and the long trip to church had made the SI joint slip out, and the pain was becoming more exquisite. When I got to the top of the stairs I noted that the 2 other women were still waiting their turn- so I did the only thing I could- I used the men's room. I finally got to sit down in the sanctuary during morning announcements. I squirmed in my seat as I sat down, the pain was intense.. I tried moving in odd directions to pull that SI back in place. It finally settled enough that I could listen to the sermon. Then the ?? allergies started. This is not the first time this has happened. The eyes started to sting.. the tears overflowed down my cheeks.. not by drops, but in streams.. the sinuses started to drain down the back of my throat, and I began to cough.
Oh... this is too much. But wait.. it gets better. I wasn't able to sit with Wendell, who always has a cloth hanky in his pocket- and I had NO KLEENEX !! Oh, man.. does it get worse? Well.. yes. I sat there sniffing and coughing.. and squirming.. feeling very embarrassed.
At home, I should have just gone to bed and skipped the day.. it was one thing after another..the little things were mounting up to grand mountains of mistakes, and pretty soon I really was in tears. I sat on the swing and wondered if it was even safe to do that..
I got the pictures of the hornets and decided to take a walk through the garden.. it would be relaxing and refreshing.. really?? I don't think so. I got to the berries and decided to try some.. till the Japanese beetles took offense and flew at me landing on my arms and shirt.. ugh!! I thought maybe I'd get out in the middle of the garden and look at those beautiful sunflowers up close.. Ah.. I got 2 pictures and looked over at the peach trees.. the branches are bowed low with an abundance of beautiful peaches ripening. I decided to take a picture of that, but the batteries in the camera decided at that moment to die.. and so NO pictures of the peaches..
All was not lost.. I walked to the tree and could smell them .. they must be ripe! I reached out and felt one.. ah, it was soft! Hooray! I'd have me a succulent peach.. sweet and juicy.. I picked the one I'd first selected, and because there was a little hole in the top, I opened it up easily... just in time for a nest of earwigs to come racing out at me.. I tossed the peach quickly and the chickens came on the fly to clean it up. Well..at least THEY got a treat.. I decided it was time to go back to the house.
After all, I DID get some good pictures of hornets and sunflowers.. I decided to put it on the blog. I changed the batteries in the camera. My new Lithium batteries were dead. I can't believe all this was happening. Not to worry.. John had some Energizers that would work. They did indeed. Just as I uploaded the pictures to the computer, I moved my hand and knocked a half cup of coffee onto my keyboard. Now, I was feeling like I should really go back to bed... I didn't even want to tell anyone about this one.
It didn't end there.. no, not at all. I went out to the kitchen and got myself a bowl of comfort food.. uh.. ice cream. I decided to eat the ice cream by the computer while I blogged.. boy, you'd think I would learn by my mistakes. I walked to the computer, carefully set the ice cream on the desk, and then turned around to sit down..that was when my left foot got tangled with my right foot and I fell backward grabbing onto whatever was available to stop the fall.. and knocked over the boxes I'd so carefully set in front of the closet while I was cleaning on Saturday. The SI was definitely out of place..and the pain was everywhere.
I managed to blog the pictures.. but then decided that it was time to quit and go to bed where it was hopefully safer than anywhere else in the room.
This morning I was relieved that it was another day and I could start all over. But ........ well.... my face is red as I have to say.. today is not Gaylie's birthday.. it was YESTERDAY!
I can hardly wait to get to work today at the hospital.. I may end up on the psych ward if things don't improve.
I can't say nothing good happened yesterday.. the sermon was very good.. and I talked to Wendy before they had a little family party for the girls.. and she sent me a picture of Eli on the cellphone. Then she sent me a picture of the girls blowing out their candles.. again with the cellphone. I wish I could upload these to the computer.. the pictures were great..but you'll have to take my word for it.
Today , as I said, I'm gainfully employed. I need to get myself ready for that.
I think I need prayer today.. please remember me. Wendell has gone to the doctor for a check up.. I'm hoping it'll be a good one.
Have a wonderful day..
