Managing My Mondays

by ObtainingMercy, posted in Managing My Mondays, What's Happening

I'll be managing this Monday from my bed.  My back suddenly went out on Saturday.  I have been in bed ever since.  My plan is to get to the chiropractor this afternoon.

So, I'll leave you with the latest puppy pics. 🙂

Just a Few Things

by ObtainingMercy, posted in Thoughtful Thursday, What's Happening

 

This looked really yummy to us.  We will definitely be trying it soon.

Berry Quick Citrus Iced Tea

~~~~~~~~~~

I thought you might be interested in the recipe to my "All Purpose Floor Cleaner UPper":

In a spray bottle mix the following:

A few squirts of your favorite liquid soap (I prefer Basic H from Shaklee)

1/2 cup of apple cider vinegar

Water to fill bottle

This is what I have been using to clean up the puppy puddles on my floors.  I have also used it on any area rugs that were "sprinkled" as well.  It is a great spot cleaner for other spills too.  The vinegar smell is pretty strong when first sprayed, but it disipates very quickly.

This was an interesting article about how microwave ovens cook:

Microwave Oven Diagnostics with Indian Snack Food

I had always wondered about that.

All 3 of us are recuperating nicely, praise the Lord!

Wishing you a lovely evening (or morning!),

Thankful on Tuesday

by ObtainingMercy, posted in How Great is Our God, Isaac Update, Thankful on Tuesday, What's Happening

 

I am thankful…

  • That Isaac has not had fever since Sunday.  (That is after Friday's trip to the ER, his diagnoses of pneumonia, I.V. antibiotics and lots of acetominaphen and ibuprofen.)
  • That Doug only has bronchitis and sinusitis, and NOT pneumonia, although the doctor said he was on the verge of it.  (He is now on 2 rounds on heavy antibiotics, cough meds and acetominaphen.)
  • That I was feeling just well enough from my bout of sickness to take care of them both over the weekend.
  • For my wonderful family who fed us and brought us groceries.
  • For my wonderful friends who kept in close touch, in case I needed anything.
  • That my mom's washing machine is right next door, since ours died last week.
  • That our truck keeps running, even though the "check engine" light has been coming on since Friday, but there hasn't been time or energy to get it to the shop.
  • That God meets every need, in His time, before the load becomes more than we can bear.

What are you thankful for today???

 

Houseful of Sickness

by ObtainingMercy, posted in Prayer Request

Doug and Isaac have both contracted the same bug I have.

Ike's fever was well over 103* last night.

We'd really appreciate your prayers for all of us.

If Ike gets sicker and needs to go to the doctor, AND if Doug is too sick to take him (which is not the case right now, praise the Lord!), we would be in real trouble!  I cannot lift Isaac or his wheelchair!

So thanks for praying for us, especially for both of them.  We really need it! 😉

I am feeling pretty yuck today.  I'm home alone, and nothing in the kitchen looks or smells appealing.  So when all else fails, go for fruit.

 

 

"Good for What Ails You" Smoothie

  • 1/2 honeydew melon, seeded and peeled
  • 1 frozen banana
  • 1/2 to 1 cup frozen strawberries

Place all ingredient in blender and pulse until smooth.

 

 

It's guaranteed to make you feel all better!!!
