Flood of Manheim...

::EDIT::I was at my friends house in Manheim today and it started to pore hard and I had to pick up another kid at Weis around 8pm today(Sunday) and we had to cross the road to get to my car, I was wearing Old Navy flip-flops too. The water was flowing so fast that my flip-flop got swept away. I was at the red light and I saw them. They were stuck at the drains, one on either side, so I get this great idea, run across the street and look like a fool to get my flip-flops and by-golly I got them!!! I was so happy and soak and wet, but in the end I was excited to have them back. After I got back in my car I cranked the heat up, everyone else was getting hot but my pants were dripping water! So my friends and I decided to go running through puddles in Manheim tonight after a huge down pore. It was the best thing that I’ve done in my life, ok not really, but I had a great time.

I'm typing on my laptop right now. My cousin from NC dropped it off on Wednesday. He upgraded it from ME to XP. I got these awesome Nintendo games for free that he put on, plus Super Nintendo games!! So old school. lol

So I have 6 days till my surgery on my hand that means I have to learn how to do pretty much everything with my left hand, kind of stinks though. I guess I'll see how much I take for granted with being able to use both hands!! Now I'll have all the time in the world to read, read and read. Maybe I'll do some updates while in Cali, it might take me the entire time while we're out there to make just one post, lol but I think I'll manage.

So this s how my 6-8 weeks are going to look like:
June 29: surgery
June 30: rest and pack
July 1: pack some more
July 2: make sure i have everything for Cali
July 3-13: I’ll be in Cali
July 14: get my stitches out in the morning
July 15-20: relax
July 21-24: beach at Ocean City MD
July 25: relax
July 26-August? Therapy

I'm not sure when I'm going back to work yet, I know its going to be in August.

Before I leave for Cali my supervisor wants me to call him to see how my surgery went so I have to do that. I know for sure that I'm going to be on pain killers because my one supervisor went through the same surgery so he knows what I'm going. I'm so nervous though, but I'll be awake for the surgery.

So I've been reading Psalms and there were a few verses that struck me:
Psalm 6:2-3, "Have compassion on me, Lord, for I am weak. Heal me, Lord, for my bones are in agony. I am sick at heart. How long, O Lord, until you restore me?"
----I liked those to verses because I am weak; it takes time to become strong at heart. It’s not how long until you restore me, but how long am I going to keep running from Him. I've been kind of running from Him the last few weeks and realized it too.

Psalm 6:7, "My vision is blurred by grief; my eyes are worn out because of my enemies."
----this one reminds me of the things that I’ve done in the last few weeks, I totally wish that I never did it but everyone else was doing it, but I know I didn't have too but it was all peer pressure from my friends and I regret it!!
