. . . or What Else Can Happen?

Seriously, folks, I'm doing alright.  I've had some health issues that I hope are on being resolved.  It's a slow road, and a hard one I suppose.  As you know, I've been developing bronchitis quite a bit this past year.  It's now been over a month since I last developed it, so hopefully I won't be getting it again any time soon.

I was recently diagnosed with a moderate case of sleep apnea.  After two sleep studies, and a couple of weeks, I received my new CPAP machine.  I think it is helping, but I'm still trying to get used to the mask and side effects of the air going down my windpipe.    Hopefully this treatment will get me the much needed rest that has been so far eluding me.

On top of the sleep apnea, I just found out that I have high blood sugar.  I'm sure that's one of the reasons I haven't been feeling very well.  I'm trying to make modifications to my eating habits.  Sometimes it's hard because it's so much cheaper to buy potatoes, white rice, and pasta.  What with the price of gas, we are barely making ends meet as it is.  Completely overhauling the way I eat is a challenge on top of that.

On a better note, I've been working on my website, and on Gregg's.  If you want to visit mine, it's at www.cleverendeavours.net/cms, and Gregg's is www.woodencelt.com.  They aren't anywhere near done, but it is a process, and I'm really psyched about it.

That's it for now!

Let me start out by telling everyone that the Hand of God was definitely with us on our trip, despite how awful the weekend turned out.  The question that kept cropping up in my mind was why did we choose this weekend to go to Kentucky?  Hello???? Are there any brains in my head?

We went to the Creation Museum as planned.  It took us a little longer than we had anticipated since the snow kept coming down.  The museum was wonderful!  About one quarter through Aric, Arianna, and I had to zip through quickly to go see Dr. Georgia Purdom speak on the Physiology and Anatamony of Christ's Crucifixion.  It was great!  She is a wonderfully dynamic speaker.  I'd like to see her speak again sometime.  When it was over, one of the staff came up to say that the museum would be closing at 3:00 PM.  It was 2:00 PM.  They also announced that they would be closed the next day (Saturday).  They aren't open on Sundays.  At that point, we went to find Greggory and Aneira.  They were in the gift shop.  We had to choose between going through the museum in half an hour (we had tickets to see the Stargazer's presentation at 2:30 PM), or pick out items to buy.  Aric and Arianna went downstairs to look at the dinosaurs.  I stayed in the shop.  The Stargazer's presentation was magnificent!  I wish we had had the time to buy the DVD of it.  Not that it could compare to the planetarium.  We then bought a couple of pictures that were taken at the beginning of the museum.  I will scan them and post them later.   Then we drove back to the hotel in the snow.  That was our trip to the Creation Museum.   I enjoyed it, but wish Aric, Arianna, and I could have seen the entire museum. 

I was tagged by LittleBrownGirl, so I thought I'd comply.  Here are the rules:

For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation to all men, instructing us to deny ungodliness and worldly desires and to live sensibly, righteously and godly in the present age, looking for the blessed hope and the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior, Christ Jesus; who gave Himself for us, that He might redeem us from every lawless deed and purify for Himself a people for His own possession, zealous for good deeds.

These things speak and exhort and reprove with all authority. Let no one disregard you. (Titus 2:11-15)

Now, if anyone tagged isn't into this kind of thing, I don't mind.  It was rather difficult, and I had to use Wikipedia for the majority of them.  I tried to pick people I thought would be more inclined to do it, or who needed a diversion.  Hey, and if you weren't tagged, and want to do it, go ahead!  Leave me a comment linking to your entry if you participate.
