{Trickin' and Treatin'}

Hey! Ya'll think I died and went on to Hillbilly Heaven? Nah, I'm alright. The end-of-the-month can just be hectic with my work, and all. Nursery Schedule. Say.No.More. Well, other than God loves me. He really does.

So, I go to see Doc Barton, and for the first time in 6/7 months I have gained. I said, "Alright it's time for you to dig deep in that white coat of yers, and pull out some more tricks." He laughed (he really doesn't know how to take me.) He should have me pegged by now. . . just take me as I am. Anyways, he told me this day would come when me body is used to my "trickin'" and it ain't "treatin'" me anymore. . .


"Well, what are my options, besides diet and exercise?" I ask.

Well, blah blah and more blah blah, of course, a little surgery was mentioned. . . of all days I had my mom with me (because I had to have my foot "torched", I'll explain later). . . she nearly passed out (she 1/2's Tylenol), so we didn't talk much more about that. Anyways, it will take 2

months to get the meds out of my system, and then I might could play some more "tricks" on it.

ENUFF about that. . .

Goodness that stuff is just crazy senseless.

Let's talk about things that are easier for me to do. . .

I am going to get my hair cut.

I am going to buy me some rain boots.and. I. might. wear. them. everyday. so what?

I have been lookin' for lodging at Seaside. . . um, well, I am doubting it. um, $1400.00 3 nights, ouch. Does anyone wanna' run on over to that Cherokee Nation and win it big? Anyone?

Oh, relax. . . I'm just kiddin' ya'. I do not gamble. I know what the Good Lord says about it, and he says not to do it (just in case ya' didn't know). I even think those 50/50 drawings at the ballgames are gambling. . . see what I mean. . .

Good news. . .

The ugly protruding vein on my leg, isn't the kind that clots and goes to the heart. No joke. Thank you, Doc for letting me know today.

Interesting news. . .

Text at 1:35 to p/u my kids at 2:00 in snow and ice. Geeez.

Things that make me curious. . .

Teachers did get a choice as to which school they want. . .

Things I have enjoyed recently. . .

Remember When Antiques. Antiques make my heart beat fast. Kinda' like that typewriter up the top. You know my momma told me she passed up one of those at a yard sale last summer for $5. . . Mom, Seriously?

Baths. I love them.

Gospel music channel. This week I have watched documentaries on Sandi Patty, Any Grant, and Micheal W. Smith. You know they all have been through some serious valleys in their lives. I love to hear all of them talk about God's Grace.

And this last tidbit of information is the best of all. . .

When you girls talk about doing "The Shred". . . all I can think about is cheese. I love cheese. Eat it on everything.

Only me.

Love, Tonia
