Poor, pitiful me...

....or not. Life seems to look a little brighter these days (or shall I say most days). Beyond the fog that was my previous life, I have comfortably settled into a new one. It includes less friends, and a hatred for the telephone, but all in all a better outlook.

So, I am happy to report that yesterday we returned to a church for a second visit. (And not just because it was the only one we had ever been to! WOO!). It actually started with Chris announcing to me at 10:15 that he wanted to go to church. After several seconds of thinking "Holy moly, it's already 10:15, church starts at 11, I haven't even showered!", I happily obliged. After all, I never turn down a chance to go to church with my family (immediate family that is :)) It turned into 30 minutes of utter chaos, but we actually made it in time (well at least the sermon hadn't started yet). It was a nice. There was talk about how you need a support system to stand the storms. I guess that would have come in handy a few months ago, but I'll take it whenever I can get it.

Later, we ate lunch and then went to my new favorite store, Michaels! Woo hoo! I was able to buy entirely too much stuff for my new favorite hobby, crocheting! Yes, like little old lady crocheting. I'm even apparently good at it. (Maybe that's why I like it so much!) I've made baby blankets, baby jackets, booties, and even a little necklace for Marleigh. My ultimate intentions are to be able to be quick and good enough to make a stash to donate to the hospital I work at (and where I lost my son at) so that I can repay the love that was given to my baby. I will post pictures eventually of my creations! As for now, back into my little world full of crochet and the distant sounds of my little girl playing. As for tomorrow, a different story.

Tomorrow I get the pleasure of having more blood drawn, and probably more medication. (Like I haven't taken enough pills, and given enough blood this year). But, when your body hates you, these things happen. Who knows, maybe today will be full of miracles instead of utter disappointments. Hey, I have hope!
