Monika, I feel a similar parallel with you. I have times where I sleep a lot. It used to be much worse before my rheumatologist prescribed me a pill for N. It helps, but I am almost always sleepy. Sometimes my hands quit working and I drop things, I stumble (and sometimes fall), my short term memory gets terrible, and I can't concentrate. It hurts me emotionally (pride), because I used to have a high IQ, retain info with a photographic memory, and be active as crazy. It makes me sad that my husband has lost that part of me and my son never knew that side of me. I tell Michael about things I used to do/be like and he is in awe. I agree with you 100% that God has this in his control and that I could be in SO much worse condition. I am thankful for not having a terminal illness and a plethora of worse things. I remind myself of this often when I am feeling down.

I used to only drive SUV's. Truthfully, I miss having one. However, we have a 2016 Dodge Challenger with the fast options (yay!) and a pretty new truck. Those payments for personal vehicles is enough...ugh. We traded my Cadillac not too long ago to acquire the truck. I am thankful to have a nice truck to haul the dogs in. I was bummed it didn't have leather, but then I was thankful because now I don't have to worry about it getting scratched! hehe...OCD...

Thank you on the new puppy congrats...I think he has the energy of all of our other puppies combined! lol...he hops and does 180's...tiny fellow with gigantic enthusiasm.

I very much appreciate your prayers for Michael and I during this school year. (And for praying for my health...) We don't know many praying folks, so I am happy to have your blessing. I will always be praying for you and your family, too. I think you're a God sent friend. 😊😉

I also hope Michael and I can squeeze in something special before school starts. He starts next Wednesday. Tuesday, he goes to the dentist to have an impression taken for a spacer. (He is not thrilled. haha) That won't be the memory day...lol

Hugs and healing go out to you, Monika! I hope you and Bixby have a comfy day!! 😊🌟🌷🐶🐶🌷🌟😊
