Chronicles of Corilee

Well Joe and I woke up at 5:00 this morning and couldn't get back to sleep so I came in to the office to read all the new posts. I loved all those tag posts. I still can't see anyway to "cut and paste" on my tool bar so how do you do it anyway?

My hip is feeling much better this morning. Course I haven't done any pt on it yet so maybe I should wait to report on that. I got grilled chicken salad after my doctors appointment yesterday. Yummmmmm. I wish I didn't feel so funny about going out in public using a walker. I would like to have gone to Costco. I guess it's just as well. By the time my pt therapist came I was hammered and could hardly do the moves she taught me. Some of the moves are so hard to do. I can only raise my leg a couple of inches in some directions. I wonder if I will ever get back to my old self at this rate but she (pt therapist) said it will come. Its only been two weeks so maybe I am expecting too much.

Joe, who said only a month ago that he decided not to buy a gun, went out and bought TWO rifles while I was in the hospital. I need to go out on the firing range to see if I can even use them. The one with a scope was really hard for me to get the cross hairs positioned until Jonathan came last night and showed me how to do it. Even knowing how to do it, it is still hard
to get it right.

Ems I didn't answer your comment about our talk about buying wheat. I know you are repeating yourself with the same answer but don't think they aren't appreciated. I just get so bugged about the way things are going and want to find some relief from the fear. It does help to have someone help me get my head on straight but I sure hope everyone is right about not taking our retirement money to buy wheat. Again, I will pray to have my heart be calmed about all this.

About listening to Glenn Beck, I know it would be better for me not to listen but I can't stand not knowing what is happening in the world so it is a "catch 22" for me. If I don't listen I am concerned (read freaked out) about what is (or might be) happening that I don't know and if I do listen, I get scared and want to do something tangible about it (like buying more wheat so we will have some to share with my children who don't have the money to buy it for themselves.) Try to put yourself in my place, Ems, and think of what you would want to do if (as adult children) Emma had all her food storage and Matthew didn't have any and you could see the world falling apart around you and you still had time and money to make a difference. Can you even imagine that??? Well, even if you can only imagine a little about how that might feel, that's how I feel magnified by 10 times.

Think how I will feel if the world does go to hell in a hand basket and I didn't buy wheat when I could and then all I had left was $25,ooo in worthless paper dollars. Yes, I do think how I would feel if I went out and bought a lot of wheat and then, though things get worse but the worst doesn't happen, and we end up not having any money to get us through our old age. Don't think I haven't thought about that. That is what is stopping me from buying it right now. I hope with all my heart that the worst doesn't happen or I will probably go nuts when it does. My sanity is in question right now, I know, so praying is all I can do at this point.

I sure hope you kids who don't have any food storage can find a way to buy SOMETHING right away, maybe for Christmas instead of toys. It is that important. It is like Noah being told to get on the ark. Don't put it off. The way will be opened up if you really commit to finding a way to buy something. And you can always find some way to store it if you're determined. I bet Emilee might even let you store it in her basement if you asked.

Well I didn't mean to get into this at all when I started writing, so sorry everyone for bending your ear (or your eyes as the case may be) ;)

May God bless us all to be as ready and we can,

Loves,

Mither
