Hodge podge
Recently, three statements have caught my attention. Last one first: “Possessed by our possessions” from the lips of one of my favorite television pastors (7:05 AM, 16 May 2022). Second: “Sitting is the new smoking” by Jesse Watters, a favorite FOX television host (7:00 PM, 10 May 2022). Third: “If something is hurting, something’s wrong” by the chiropractor, Dr. Scott Hannen, on TBN Christian TV “Praise” (13 May 2022). (Yes, they were so arresting, I wrote them down.)
God, my Heavenly Father, was speaking to me through Dr. Scott Hannen!! “OK, OK, I’ll try to take care of my health.” In less than twenty-four hours my experiences went from bad to worse; from cramps and pain in the legs, and fatigue, to pain so severe I could hardly move. (Dr. Google suggests Pericarditis.)
This morning, this is the scene that greeted me. I believe there is “a message” but I haven’t the revelation (yet). “Murderer?”

Red letter day !!
Pericarditis
Self diagnosis: Pericarditis.
For a while, I won’t be at the computer. Best wishes to ALL from Lorraine.
Two friends ?!
Saturday soliloquy
Yesterday, I received email messages requesting information. I responded indicating I had nothing new to expand on the information I shared in September 2021. In my database, I recognize that (at that earlier date) I shared an abundance of information… and developed our “cousin connection.” Out of curiosity (this morning), I clicked on a link to his tree and was met with disappointment. Mysteriously, my “note” appeared (and I didn’t remember that I had a “private” note). ~~ My mind and body is moving slowly these days!! I had an invitation to ride to Walmart (this morning) with a neighbor but had to decline because I haven’t a teaspoon of energy.
Somebody’s gotta do it !!
Not a “dirty job” but Lorraine’s gotta do it!!

I don’t have an answer to my refrigerator problem. The freeze performs a contradiction: (1) It builds up water and creates an ever-larger block of ice in the bottom. (2) Almost every night, water seeps out and a small puddle in front of the refrigerator–freezer (and it is destroying the floor).
Friday frustration
The website for the Waco Library says “contact us.” I sent them a thoroughly detailed email message—and have not received a reply. “They” have my phone number and email address. ~~ Boxes of poem books have been in the car–ready for delivery—since May 4th. Other boxes of books are ready to load. **If** I decided to go shopping for groceries, there is no space for purchases. ~~ “Frustrating,” because, with limited energy, I work on projects with limited results.
