Boring Week!

Well, it's been a pretty boring, uneventful week. I traveled for work on Tuesday, then attended the cooking class I already posted about.. on Wednesday, I had two depositions scheduled.. one in the morning, one in the afternoon... I did my morning one, then met my mom for lunch... during lunch, I started feeling really yucky, so I called my office and asked them to send someone else to cover my afternoon job assignment, and I went home, where I stayed in the chair wrapped in a blanket - and attempting to do a little crocheting! We've been passing some kind of bug around in my family, and my mom started it all.. then Dennis started feeling yucky on Tuesday night/Wednesday, then by Wednesday afternoon I didn't feel so hot myself.

I felt better on Thursday, and worked again Thursday, but Dennis ended up staying home, which is really unusual for him. He basically slept all day. Today he went back to work but e-mailed me this morning and asked if I could come pick him up at noon. He carpooled with his carpool buddy from work today, and did not take his own car. So I made the drive out to Gaston, and my mom tagged along, and we picked Dennis up, stopped for some lunch, then came home. Got him settled and then ran errands the rest of the afternoon while he slept again. Came home early evening and now Dennis is watching TV, and I will join him in a few to watch a movie. Hopefully he will feel better tomorrow, since we have a gala to attend at Capital City Club. This month marks the club's 20th anniversary, and there is a big gala at the club tomorrow evening, which we have already paid for! A great excuse to get all dressed up. Anyway... hopefully Dennis will feel up to it tomorrow - I think he will, since he's rested for two days basically.

It's raining outside right now - I actually love the sound of rain coming down - I love a rainy day or evening, as long as I don't have to get out in it.. that was one of the worst things about this past Wednesday.. it was so rainy and nasty out, I hated to even get out at all! We really do need the rain though. Helps the grass and the flowers.. and washes off my car!

This week has been somewhat difficult - my friend Lydia's husband, Troy, is still in critical condition in ICU. He has not awakened and we went up to the hospital yesterday again to see Lydia. She was very emotional when we got there, of course... and told us that the doctors have told her that it would be a miracle if he woke up and were still Troy. There is significant brain damage and very little brain activity at this point. She has some tough decisions to make it sounds like. This has weighed heavily on me. It's so terribly sad and distressing for one of your contemporaries, someone who has JUST turned 40, to suffer a massive heart attack and end up like this.. It's scary and hits so terribly close to home. Very disconcerting indeed. I have been praying all week for them, and I know God always answers prayers, even if sometimes the answer is no or not the answer you hoped for.

I pray again tonight, as I turn in for the evening that God's healing and comforting hand will continue to touch Lydia and Troy and their family.

Happy Weekend!
