The Daily News

The crew got home safely from Mexico and had a great trip! My son got sick on the first work day, which really frustrated him. He doesn't know why, and he knows all the rules about drinking (what and how much). This is his fifth trip (plus two to Haiti), and he hasn't gotten sick since the first one. He missed the second day of work completely and felt the effects for the rest of the trip. I suggested to him that since we've had such a cool May, he may not have been as acclimated to the heat as previous years. But really, God only knows! He survived, and the trip was good.

He was bummed to hear about his friends' mother's death. I also told him about an adult friend's broken wrist. He replied, "Yeah, I leave and everything falls apart!"

I'm taking the broken wrist victim to a specialist on Monday. It's nice to have a vehicle to be able to do those things! I was going the same direction for a sonogram on my thyroid gland (in my neck). One side felt enlarged and was tender, so the doc wanted to check it out. He also wants me to have a sleep study since a sleep disorder can cause fatigue. I think I'll wait to see how the thyroid checks out first (and spread out the expense!).

My hubby painted the entire shed by himself today! Other than the trim work, it's done. I stayed inside and did some more sedentary work -- mostly preparing some course material for him to complete. We're taking a class called Perspectives on the World Christian Movement as an online course. Some of the online stuff is just a bit of reading, so I printed it out for him, deleting some irrelevant parts. We are taking this course as a preparation for missions work, should God continue to lead us that direction.

Well, that's probably more info than you wanted on my life. Maybe tomorrow I'll get deep and spiritual!
