Listening to: The Wind Blowing Through the Tree Outside My Window
Feeling: sluggish
I prayed to Saint Pio tonight. I'm not Catholic. I was raised a Babtist. A few months ago I sent for a Saint Pio prayer card. While living Saint Pio had the stigmata and healed thousands. I prayed to him tonight to heal my dad. He has crippling arthritus and a weak immune system. I'm worried that he might get pnemonia or something fatal. It's hard to see my dad, who played all state football and once had arms bigger than Arnold Schwarzenegger's, hobble around. (Believe me, the big arms is an article of pride. Remember that the Govenator is a 7 time Mr. Universe. lol)
I watched a little CNN today and saw a story about a serial killer in Witchita, Kansas that has been killing for thirty years called the BTK Killer. He ties up and brutally kills his victims in their homes and writes to the local news channel and paper about it. Scary stuff. I just decided I'm never going there.
I'm still sick but I'm not letting it hold me back.
I bought the invitations to my birthday party today. They look like something from the early nineties. All neon. It's great. I wish all of you guys could come.
i hope your dad gets better... ohh and party at vals!
My mom also has terrible arthritis, to the point where we had her off to the workshop to get new parts!
Seriously - she has metal hips, knees, knuckles and wrists and is hoping to get a shiny replaced shoulder and at least one foot done this year sometime too. Expensive, but worth it. Medicaid!
Hers has mostly burned out and she is just left with the bone damage now, but still there is a lot of pain and we take each day as it comes.

You hang in there, Val.
PS: Your flattery is too much! Perhaps one of these days I'll put up some writing somewhere, with a photo attached!
