Ugh, I’m not feeling well this morning. I stopped taking the Phenegran yesterday because I was thinking maybe I don’t need it but I guess I’m wrong. I’ll take one in a bit. I still have about three days left to go on the PrevPak. My body’s starting to bloat out again from the increased steroids and I had a terrible bout with the acid reflux during my sleeping time, which was constantly being interrupted by the fluids coming back up from my stomach into my esophagus and even out of my mouth (I’m sure I breathed some into my lungs – they hurt and I’m congested), burning my esophagus and throat. I kept praying for God to take the burning away and He would. And then it would happen again, I’d pray again, He’d help me again. It’s probably my fault though because I went right to bed after dinner last night (I was so tired and I couldn’t stay awake any longer) and I’m not supposed to lay down until about four hours after I’ve eaten. Ugh. Oh well. We’ll get through this, by the grace of God.
I had a good prayer time this morning and a good bible study time. I published my rr home page and have done some checking around on the internet for the pricing of the textbook I will need for my next class. The prices are ranging from $160.oo to $109.00 (Amazon Books), but I was just pricing today. I don’t actually have the money yet to buy it. I just can’t fathom the price of textbooks. I really should figure out how to become a seller in that market. 
But, you need money to make money and money is something I don’t have and need. I’m sorry, everything seems to be like ugh today. Maybe it’s just because I’m not feeling well.
I woke up at like 2:00 this morning. As I sat on my bed saying my prayers, I looked out of the window and noticed that a police car had pulled over someone to give them a ticket, I was guessing. As it turned out, the officer and the person who was pulled over stayed there for quite a while (I started figuring out that this was not going to be just a simple “I’m giving you a ticket for going too fast.” kind of situation.) After about forty-five minutes or so, a tow truck came along and towed the pulled over car away. ugh… I thought to myself (and shared with the Lord) how funny I am to care and feel so badly for the one who got arrested. It’s just my nature I guess. I hate to see bad things happen to anybody, even if it’s deserved I guess.
I decided to back up my data files on my computer to my ISP’s on-line safe storage utility. It’s going to cost $3.78/month for 2.5 gb’s of storage space. That’s not bad to have your files being backed up as often as you’d like to. My ISP had a handy dandy downloadable backup tool that I keep on my desktop. It’s icon is that of a safe (clever) and I have scheduled to backup my documents in my hard drive once a week. The most funny thing about it is that it’s taking forever to upload the files. It’s going to take at least a whole day! It’s not a problem really because I can still be working on the computer while it’s uploading (I have slow speed cable modem service as opposed to dsl – downloads are quicker but uploading is like at a turtle’s pace). At least my files are getting backed up without much effort on my part albeit slow as heck.
I’ve written a lot today. I should probably take my medicine and lay back down. I think I will.
Peace and love, Out! Linda
