I went out the front door this morning and encountered a snake. EEEKKK!!!! I thought my heart was going to stop beating. My heart did a flip flop but started back up again. This isn't the first time I have found a snake on the porch but it does make me very jumpy. The snake was a harmless king snake but if it had struck at me I would have definitely experienced heart failure. The snake took it's time going away as usual.

K is finished taking his new medicine, prednisone, and is starting to feel a little better. He is also getting his appetite back. My eating habits have taken a downward slide again. I am back to forcing myself to eat something, anything. I have to remind myself to drink something, too. I will fix a glass of tea or water in the morning and by evening I am still sipping from the same glass. I feel it is because at home my mind zones out to keep myself from thinking. When I am at work, I am alert and busy; I am able to drink at least two eight ounce glasses of water before I get off of work. I am trying to think cheerful thoughts at home so I don't blank out everything else and forget about eating and drinking.

I have been looking around for another job. I am trying to prepare myself for the future. I would like to have a job that offers insurance that I can afford. Even if I worked full time at the daycare; they do not offer insurance. The future is what I try not to think too much about right now. It is very upsetting.

*********************************************

Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God. And not only so, but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience; And patience, experience; and experience, hope: And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us.
Romans 5:1-5
