Aw, it’s Thursday. This marks day two of my antibiotic regimen. I am sick now. I woke up this morning at 3:00 a.m. feeling so nauseous and feeling weak and dizzy. I’ve taken a Phenegran and that seems to be helping to keep my nausea under control, even though I do still feel nauseous. I haven’t gotten diarrhea or a fever yet, thank God. I was supposed to go to a building pot-luck tonight, but I won’t be able to make it in this condition. I’m sorry about that because I have grown to know and even close to some of my neighbors that I will miss the time that would have been spent with them tonight. We have a beautiful (secure) building community here for which I am so grateful and thankful. Also, I was too sick to do my physical therapy today. I did get in the shower though and that made me feel a little better as well. I was able to keep down my tablespoon full of peanut butter for breakfast and just finished my protein drink and string cheese for lunch. The dreaded throwing up is in check. Yay!
A funny thing, my hair was getting really dried out and breaking all the time even though I was using a silk type softening agent on my hair that’s supposed to make it more manageable and healthier. Well, that just wasn’t working so I’ve decided to not use shampoo anymore. All I am using is an extremely inexpensive hair conditioner from Big Lots and it seems to be doing the trick. I even got a compliment yesterday from a neighbor about how healthy my hair was looking. 
It feels good too now.
As my new Computer Literacy online course starts on Monday, I should probably start checking out the assignments and get a head start on them if at all possible. I really am thankful for this opportunity to try to earn my bachelor’s degree in Graphic Design through The Art Institue of Pittsburg Online Division. This coming course will introduce me to Photoshop, Illustrator, Office 2007, Windows XP, etc. It may be a little too remedial for me as I really do possess pretty good computer skills but I didn’t want to challenge it so that I could learn more and become more familiar with sharing my artwork in a simple way in the virtual classroom. It’s all good. Yay!
Thank you to all those who are remembering me in their prayers or even just sending good vibes my way. Thank you to all potential benefactors (I currently possess none) who realize that this little disabled lady needs a helping hand to continue my ministry to others in God’s name. God bless you all.
Peace and love, Out, Linda, lvance@live.com
