Day One Hundred Seventy Three - Recovery Day 46

Today was officially the "firing off" date for Hallowed Eve 8 this coming Friday night! We got things started. Since I'm not able to lift for another two weeks, I had everyone else move and stack those heavy pews. Yay honestly I'm happy because I don't gotta mess with those things this year. Every year, it's always me and Lisa moving them. They are really long and made of solid wood so they are super heavy. We've gotta move them all to the side of the sanctuary area and stack them 3 high. This year, I get a pass haha. Anyway, we were serving lunch after service today so we had plenty of dudes there so they all stacked the pews. Funny thing was that as many guys that were helping, they couldn't really lift those pews so I was there helping them (or trying to help them) until Lisa got after me for lifting. I forget a lot of times. I don't realize that I'm supposed to be taking it easy. That's how I made that mistake with the heavy box a couple weeks ago before we went selling. So I had to bow out and just tell them where to put them and how to stack them. So, we've got it all out of the way now so tomorrow, we'll be starting to decorate. I'm thinking we'll or I'll be there everyday from morning to night because I really want to get this event decorated and ready to go by Thursday night. So far, every year I've done 'Hallowed Eve' I was still working on it the day that we put it on, which made it very stressful for me because I wouldn't get much help, except Lisa, and we'd be still setting up on Friday and everyone would be getting restless and leaving on that day, then I'd be getting those "looks" like 'why aren't we starting'. During those times I just wanna say "Well if the rest of you would HELP instead of just standing there and not caring to do anything, we'd have had it all done by now", but I can't say that. Anyway, it's because of that reason that I want to get this all done by Thursday night so I don't gotta worry about it none come Friday because on that day it'll be "Bills Day" for Lisa and I. We'll have plenty to do.

The Awesome thing about today, I forget to mention, was my uncle got Baptized today!! That was so great! He's the one who had some problems earlier on in the month. Well his wife took him back in and now he's back home. Today he was baptized, which was a very wonderful thing. They did it just before service. I thought that maybe it was a bit embarrassing for him because when they did it, the pastor said everyone could go up there and take pictures so there were ppl standing there taking pictures while he was getting baptized. Eh...I didn't know about that. Yes, I was one of them lol but no not by choice. My mom gave me her phone and asked me to snap some pix so I did, but I stood kinda away and not up close and personal like everyone else did. Dang! Anyway, hopefully he stays on a straight course in his life and grows stronger in the Lord and that he leads his family down the right path. I know his wife needs help both mentally and spiritually. Nobody is perfect!

Well I'm going to close this blog early. I wanna relax a bit because I won't be able to do much of that this week. Lots of work to be done...a whole LOT!!

Day Two Hundred Thirty Three

Did 3 miles this morning again! Feels great. My feet don't hurt. I mean, I'll feel it but it's not painful like when I first started walking after recovery. They hurt so bad after I sat down a while. That was crazy! So now, I feel great and things are much better. Also my right knee hasn't been feeling crappy in a while now. I feel great! I want to start using the Bowflex and getting back to DDP yoga so bad, but I am so afraid. You know, my recovery took longer than expected. I have said this whole time that my recovery ended the last day in October. Well that was not true! Ya that's when the doctor told me that my recovery was over, but that's not when I was feeling better because to this day, I still feel a really weird and sensitive feeling right where my incision was. I mean, it sometimes hurts, like if I lay on my stomach for a while, then roll over to get up. I really feel it and it doesn't feel good. Simetimes it scares me, like I feel like the herni

Day Two Hundred Thirty Five

STAR WARS: THE FORCE AWAKENS WAS AN EXCELLENT MOVIE!!!!!!! Omgosh that movie was so good and so sad :'( I'm serious, I was really trying to hold back tears on that one scene. Dang that movie was really good. I think the better than that entire prequel trilogy. I'm looking forward to the next one. Dang we only got a couple hours sleep last night. Lisa and I didn't end up going to bed until almost 2am. Then we had to get up at 5 and meet my family at Dennys at 6am. We actually got there before they did haha. But it was fun! We had some great conversation and laughs at breakfast this morning. Then afterwards, we headed to the Allen 8 theater. We got there just about 7am. The ppl were already lining up. We had to stay outside in the cold for an entire hour. My mom and brother were freezing lol. It was fun though. My dad saw all this work buddies. It was cool seeing him interact with all his friends. Everyone knew him and my mom. Very cool. We had a great time, even thoug

TODAY I GOT A NEW CAR

On Friday night (1.15.2016), my truck died on me :'( Timing belt broke! In other words, dead in the water. That was my Only vehicle and at the time I was looking for work and my best pal, Skye, is starting Nursing School the following Monday. She uses my truck so she was very worried and angry. I told her we needed to be thankful that my old truck lasted all that time and got her to her last day of work. Now me, I was not worried because I knew God was always there. I was scared, however, because of everything especially on Saturday morning when I woke up. So I went out into the field by my place and I prayed. I said to God how thankful I was for His many blessings. I thanked Him for my truck and the time that I had it. Then, I asked Him to please help me in my situation. I put my trust in Him as I always do. That was Saturday morning (1.16.16). Saturday night (1.16.16), my mom called me and asked me to come over to their place. When I did, they talked with me for a bit about a
