I have tried to blog several times since Monday and I keep deleting the posts. There are so many things going on around me and I can't really discuss anything that matters to me at this time. So, I am trying to rely on God to show me what I need to know and I believe that I am getting some answers to that prayer.

I can't believe that it isn't even 10pm yet ... this has been one of those long days. My husband is a bit worried about the economy. I don't see any point in worrying about something that I have no control over. All I can do is keep a good budget and not use the credit card and be frugal where I can. The only thing that has me concerned is his job. As long as the company is in business, he has a job. But if the company cannot survive during this recession, then we'll have to find something else. That prospect doesn't sit well with me, but I've turned that over to God, too, and am not worrying about it (even if I do think about it a bit each week).

The gluten-free eating seems to be a good thing. I'm going to lunch with my boss tomorrow and am not quite sure what I'll order. I think I may call the restaurant in the morning and see what they have on their menu. I'm just glad that my itchy skin, heartburn and a few other ailments seem to be improving! I'd like to hang that Dr. (the one that declared me NOT celiac after a "negative" EGD) by the toenails. He's a quack if he doesn't know that a "clear" EGD doesn't rule out celiac ... geesh! I've been sick for an extra 12+ months because the "expert" didn't know his own job.

My husband wants us all to go on a bike ride on the Abingdon Creeper Trail on Sunday as part of his birthday present. So, we'll spend the day together on the trail. I've never gone, my daughter has gone once and my son and husband have already experienced this twice. I believe the leaves will be beautiful as they are really starting to show their colors this week. I'm looking forward to a nice day with the family - I just hope that we can still make reservations this late in the week. They may already be booked up.

Well, gotta get up at 5am tomorrow morning, so I best head to bed now ... have a great Wednesday!
