December 8 - “Hoverers”

How’s this for an early wake-up call? At exactly 7:01 a.m. we received a delivery of a Christmas present we ordered – just the day before, mind you - from Target.  Freddy announced the delivery, of course.  Pretty impressive, Target.

 

Speaking of Target, we made a Walmart  run for some groceries. They had 1 regular checker and 1 working the 20 items or less lane. Everything else was self-serve. Well, we hit a snag and needed some help, so we called over one of those Hoverers they have. She made matters worse. Meanwhile, I figured out the answer to our dilemma, and finally stepped in to take over. Hey. She was good at being a Hoverer.  Just not so much at operating the computers. Of course, it is entirely possible that I have more experience working those self-check computers than she does …

 

We did some more decorating in the afternoon, right up until Chris had to leave for a physical therapy appointment. Once she left, I may or may not have returned to WalMart and snuck a little Christmas shopping for Chris.

 

I also had time to do some online research, and I found a free signs website. They had just the “Enter” and “Exit” signs we needed for the Bethlehem Street Market on Saturday.  I printed them off and glued them to a piece of poster board.  I also did some lettering on a presentation board for the kitchen to use for a menu of soups and stuff on Saturday. 

 

Chris was excited to tell me all about her physical therapy workout.  Just like a little kid.  This one was for her eyes, though.  They have determined that her balance issues are related to her ears, so they are putting her eyes through the ringer.  Kind of illustrates that scripture about the individual parts making up one body, and the whole body is affected when one part is injured.

 

Last night was Chris’ first attempt at using a C-pap machine.  It didn’t go so well.  We figured out how it was supposed to work, and I guess it was working.  Air was blowing out, anyway.  But she just couldn’t seem to get it adjusted exactly right.  I noticed when I got up this morning that she finally just gave up on it and took it off.  Oh well. 

 

6:33 says, “But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.”

 

Father, please give Chris some encouragement as she works through all this health madness.  Amen.
