| | i've been told (again!) that i need to update.... why, i have no idea. i'm so bad at this, i was pretty sure nobody read it anymore... hehe..
well, life has been..... well, life, i guess. nothing amazingly interesting going on, nothing huge bad happening.. there are minor things, of course. there always are. like everyone else in the free world, i killed my diet so i could eat for thanksgiving. and the 4 days following. left-overs are so yummy. and, i felt not a shred of guilt... hahaha!!
there are things, however, that i feel guilty over. i won't go into those, but please keep me in your prayers. my walk with the Lord is not what it used to be, and i'm making more and more mistakes along the road....
so, a few months ago i somehow was convinced by a friend that i needed to pet-sit for someone- that i'd never met. well, as you know, i have an adorable sweetie of a dog, Skylar. i'm thinking, ok, this will be a test to determine how Sky will do with another dog, because i'd been thinking about getting her one. about 2 days later, this woman and 2 of her friends drop of this dog.. all i can say is. wow. this dog, Reba, is supposed to be the same type of dog as mine, a mini american eskimo... for starters, the poor thing is 12 years old, arthritic, and while standing only like an inch taller than my dog, weighs twice as much!!! yikes. see, my sweetie is VERY VERY VERY active. she's still a puppy. well, it was kinda like putting together a kinder-kid with a great-grandmother... lol. skylar chased, reba tried to run, but more like ambled along. i also find out that i'm supposed to have this dog for an undetermined amount of time, likely 4 months. WHAT!?!? ok.. i agreed to this... as Christian, keeping my word is very important to me. the woman leaves.. leaving the dog and nothing else. i'm thinking, food? leash? vet's number? heck, her number!! for some reason, i think i've just adopted a new dog. for good. lets move on down to like 2 days later..... when this "housebroken" dog has revealed to me that she is actually incontinent. my carpet is ruined. my BRAND NEW carpet. she has fought with my dog, making my sweet Skylar bleed. i hate to call this lady (who i finally got a number for) because i know that if i send Reba back to her, she will have her put down. what is a girl to do?!? pray for me- that i can have continued patience with this dog, and with the woman who sent her here.. i keep having super-mean thoughts.
alright so that's my rant on the dog... thanks for listening.
my baby sister has something called low-grade dysplasia. what that means is that there are some changes in the cells in her cervix.. and they will have to operate to remove what they call "pre-cancerous" cells. my 19 year old sister?? pre-cancerous?? let's just say i mildly freaked. not to her of course- don't want to freak her out. she's handled it quite well, says her dr. is wonderful. they've been battling this together for about 4 years now. my mother had the same thing- but she was diagnosed at about age 20 - and had to have a hysterectomy at 26. i told my sister that if the worst happened, i would carry children for her and her husband. apparently she wants THREE!!! see, i volunteered for this because she always said she didn't want any kids... hehe.. i thought i'd get out of it easy! oh well... she's in my constant prayers- i can't imagine not being able to have children. i wouldn't handle that so well.
gotta go work-- have a blessed day in Christ!!
