Well, I didn't make it to class tonight. I've been sick since last Friday and have missed 3 days of work this week and all my classes, too. On Monday night, Rachel was able to get me my homework since we are in the same Business class. On Tuesday night, I missed my psychology class...hate that I missed the lecture. And, now tonight, I have missed my English comp class. BUT, I did manage to send in my homework via email to my instructor.

Upon my return to work today, my desk was totally covered in tapes of dictation from ONE doctor. She is leaving at the end of this month and is behind about 100 dictations! This is really going to be a problem if we can't get them caught up before she leaves...and it will somehow become my problem even though she is the one who got so far behind.

I was fasting today. Now, I'm fairly new to this fasting stuff. Our church does it for 3 days the end of January and I participated in that as much as I was able. I did have to consume some protein each day, because as a successful gastric bypass patient I can't let my protein stores deplete because I can't get "caught up" if I do. Anyway, I spent today catching up at work and trying to stick to my fast. I did okay until I got home and then I ate some tuna for the protein content. I feel that I am doing okay with the fasting, even if I have to eat some protein every day, because I know that God will still honor my fasting and praying because He knows my circumstances.

Now, I am trying to get caught up on my FaceBook page, write this blog, and get the kids going on the chores they did not complete today.

May the joy of the Lord be yours today! This is something I need to remember. He lifts me up when I am unable to go on. He is always there for me, and I want to be there more for Him.
