New Year

2011.
So much time passes between writing. It's ok though. I'm living. I just read my last post. Very interesting. I can see that I'm more on the side of works than worship. Well. Trying so hard. Wanting to be such a good Christian stay-at-home woman. What happened to me between Christmas and New Year? Because now I'm not thinking about that, just how thankful I am and how lucky and loved. I'm feeling extremely free. Well and so I should. I haven't smoked since mid November 2010. I also spent Christmas with Debbie, Joanna, and Chloe. After Christmas I wound down into vacation mode, totally. I pieced together a 1,000 piece puzzle. I did that while my sister in Canada did hers and we kept our progress updated on facebook. So fun. I also ate very unhealthily. Chocolate and chocolate and more chocolate and cheese and crackers. It's a wonder I didn't get stopped up completely.
Debbie is going through chemo again. It isn't fun to watch. She isn't very strong and has stopped going in to work for the time being. The steriods make her retain fluids and her face is extremely swollen. It really doesn't look like her. She even asked herself one day, looking in the mirror. "Debbie! Are you in there?" She became partially paralyzed on one side. She can still walk and move her arms and legs but she doesn't have feeling on the left side. It makes normal things quite awkward for her. On top of her face being swollen one side is sagging from the paralysis. She is walking with a cane.

Jan 25th,
I'm wanting to write about trash. The history of trash in our home. Perhaps I should start a new post for that. Yes, I should.
