Sept. 7, 2016
Yesterday was Karen Bemby's 65th birthday. Seems so silly that we can't be friends.
Yesterday, I was in a state of stress, frustration, overwhelm. Very low energy. Frustrated with myself. Feeling old, creaky, tired.
Prayers for my health, Kelly, Candy Beuter, Serena Simmons, Connelly.
Lord Jesus Christ Son of God have mercy on us.
We are at the age when life catches up. The overeating, the frustrations, the compulsions, the little chippings away begin to visibly take their toll.
