‍Part Seventy-Nine Tuesday, May 14th, 2013

‍After I woke up , I made my bed, while I watched Petie play with his favorite toy.  Then, I watched Toby and Skipper , as they swam around.  They also had their first meal for the day, so during my morning game shows, I ate my own breakfast, a waffle .  Mom and I also had another discussion about the car.  Mom had her heart set on a Malibu .  So, we planned on going to see what color and models they had in the Malibu at the dealership.  I also got ready for the day, cleaned Petie's cage, before I cleaned his toys, and he got his carrot before I had my lunch.

After lunch, we worked hard on cleaning out the inside of our 06 Pontiac G6 , I even swept out the trunk , and we got the rest of the car ready.  I just gave up on arguing , because I knew we needed a car that was reliable , and our current car was not reliable anymore.  So, it was time for a new car.  Once the car was done, I read Acts of 4 to Petie , had prayer before we had supper.  Then, I took out our Recycling bins , and that evening , we looked at cars on the Chevy website , we also found out that there was a dealership in a town not too far from us. 

She was excited , and I was excited at the thought of getting a blue car.  Later on, we hugged and I got ready for the night, watched some TV, before I said my special good nights to Petie, Skipper, and Toby, then I had my prayer time, covered Petie, and I turned off the light for Toby and Skipper, before I went to sleep.

 ‍  Part Eighty Thursday, May 16th, 2013

‍I woke up to a very sunny morning, and I uncovered Pete's cage , before I fed Toby and Skipper, then I ate a waffle for breakfast.  After breakfast, I went to the den where I watched the morning game shows , while I looked up directions to the dealership, that we planned on going to later on.  I wrote them down, shut down the computer, got ready for the day, cleaned Petie's cage .  After lunch, when we were ready to go, I programmed the directions into to our tomtom , then we were off and we found the dealership, the drive was not too bad.

After we got out of the car, we started looking around, the Malibu looked nice, and a nice man tried to help us.  Mom had a test drive in the Malibu, and she was not a fan.  The car was about the size of our G6, so she wanted a little smaller car.  She also took a Sonic for a spin, but she was not a fan, and then he had us try another small car, and we both were not fans, it was a little rough.  So, the nice man went and got us a nice lady.  Her car stole my mom's heart, she instantly fell in love with the car.  She asked our sales dealer questions about the car, like what kind was it.  She told us her car was a 2013 Chevrolet Cruze in Crystal red.  The car was decided, but I hoped that the color of the car was still on the table.

Our nice sales dealer took us back to her office, we sat down, and she offered us some cold sodas to drink, and she went right to work on finding my mom's Cruze.  The color was off the table, and I had to kiss my hopes of getting a blue one good-bye .  My mom wanted a carbon copy of the car she saw shining in the sun outside, and our dealer called other Chevy dealerships until she found one. However, a young man that was going off to college wanted to buy it, so we let him have the car , or his parents buy it for him as a gift, either way it was gone.  Did she give up though? No, she got right back on her phone and she tried more dealerships , until she found another place and the man there had great news!  He had two identical Cruzes in Crystal red! She got the details, and one of them was that one of the models had a rear view camera on it already, and that was a feature that she had sold us on, it would make backing up and seeing what is behind the car a lot easier.  She told the man that we wanted to buy one, but she would take both, I think she traded some of their cars they had for the Cruzes.  Then, we had some discussions about our G6, and she worked on paper work, we made a down payment for the Cruze , and then there was more work to be done.

The Chevy dealership accepted our trade, and the expensive payments on the G6 were gone, the dealership bought the G6 from Pontiac .  We agreed to lease our new car for a payment that was far less than what we paid monthly for the G6.  Our new car would also save us some money at the pump, mom was really happy.  She also got us started with Ally , she just went above and beyond.  We were happy as I said before, and she was happy that we were happy .  She told us that we could pick up our new Chevy Cruze on Saturday, then we went home, had supper, and I took out our trash.  I watched the wheel that brought fortune with mom, then I watched some TV, before I had my BIBLE time with Petie in Acts 4.  I had prayer, and I watched another show with my mom that was about a fake psychic that helped solve crimes. After the show, my mom and I hugged , I got ready for the night, and I had my special good night routine with Petie, Skipper, and Toby, before I had my bed time prayers, and I went to sleep.

‍I woke up to another sunny morning, and I made my bed .  I also uncovered Petie's  cage, and I fed Toby and Skipper, before I ate a waffle , while I watched my morning game shows.  After breakfast, I got ready for the day,, cleaned Petie's cage, we had lunch, before I read Acts:4.  Once I had my prayer time, I tested the 10's properties.  For most of the results, they were good.  The PH was a little high while the Ammonia was between Ideal and Safe.  I treated the high PH, and I also swapped out some of the water from the 5 gallon out. 

A little while later, I helped Mom with supper, before we went back out into the garage to wipe our soon to be traded in G6 a little bit more for tomorrow.  That evening, I watched some TV shows, then I hugged my mom, got ready for the night, and I said my special good nights to Petie, Skipper, and Toby.  I had more prayer time, and I went to sleep.

   ‍Part Eighty-Two Saturday, May 18th, 2013

‍Today was the day , and it was a sunny and beautiful day.  Mom was going to get her car, or our car.  Our dealer had called earlier and told us , our car was getting ready.  So, I got myself ready for the day, before we had breakfast together.  I also fed Toby and Skipper, before I cleaned Petie's cage, while I gave him his royal treatment.  After lunch, Mom and I left to go pick up our new car, and drop off our old one.  When we arrived, I grabbed everything out of our G6, then we had a tour that was led by our dealer.

She showed us the service area, we met some of the workers there, she also showed us where we could wait , while our new car was being checked out, or if we brought it in for service.  That area had a nice tv, comfortable couches and other seating arrangements , there was a kids room , and just a room where you could sit quietly and read or spend time online .  When we returned to her office, she had my mom fill out some more paperwork, and we were told about the Lemon Law , our rights, and their guarantee that our car was not a lemon , it was in fact a brand new 2013 model of the Chevrolet Cruze .  

Then, she took us outside , where we saw the two twins, and one of them she pointed out was ours , the service department was busy washing our new car, until the Chevy Cruze LT in Crystal Red was polished up .  Our car was driven out to us, where she had us take pictures together with our new car.  She also gave us the sets of keys , explained the functions on the key fob , while she also told us that she personally went and picked up our new car , and kept it at her house, to avoid getting extra miles on it.  We both were very impressed , and thanked her several times.  She got into  our car as well, and set up our account for On -Star , before she gave us a demonstration of the car, how to work the radio, how to use the console , turn signals, windshield wipers, she made sure that we understood every important function we needed to know, in order to operate our car.  Then, she got out, told us when to come back for our Pit -Stop , which was just a check up for our car.

We wished her a fond good bye, waved, and we were on our way home with our new car, that drove like a dream , she had a lot of power , mom just enjoyed driving her , I was not quite ready yet, it was too new of a car at that time.  When we arrived home after using On-Star's directions , I had mail waiting for me .  My assignment had been sent back , and I was very happy to see that I had passed it with flying colors .  My neighbors were very proud of me , when I showed them the letter and my grade , when they came over to see our new car.  It was a very happy day.  After our supper, I watched TV, and a movie with my mom, found an out fit for church, read Acts 4 to Petie, hugged my mom, had my special bed time routine with Petie, Skipper, and Toby.  After prayer, I went to sleep.

‍I woke up, and I was happy, because today was Skipper's fourth month with us!  He ate his portion of the food, and Toby ate his own portion.  Petie was happy too. We watched the morning game shows, while I made my bed.  I also ate a waffle for breakfast, while I watched the rest of one of the morning game shows.  After I got ready for the day, I cleaned Petie's cage , and we had lunch before I tested the water in the 10.

I was really pleased with the results, PH was 7.2, Alkaline was 40-80 .  Hardiness was PPM 150 , while the Nitrates were not too bad, and the Ammonia was safe.  I rested after I read Acts 5 to Petie and I wrote another entry in my journal , after I had my prayer time.  Later on, I helped my mom with supper, before I took out the trash.  A little while later that same evening, I watched a new show that was about motives for criminals , another crime show that I thought was interesting.

I gave my mom a hug, before I watched another TV show about monster fish,  After that was over, I got ready for the night , watched the News, and I had my special bedtime routine with Petie, Skipper, and Toby, after my bed time prayers, I went to sleep.

‍I woke up earlier, in order to be ready for my hair appointment .  It was time for me to get my hair done again.  I also uncovered Petie's cage , and I fed Toby and Skipper.  I made my bed, ate a waffle , and I watched the morning game shows.  I got ready for the day, Mom and I had lunch, after I cleaned Petie's cage .  He had his carrot, and after lunch I went to my appointment.  Where I found out that I was supposed to come in the day before.  I was not really sure if that was true or not, but I did not argue.

I agreed to have some one else do my hair .  I couldn't help but notice how pale she was, but she did my hair for me, at the end of my hair appointment, I paid her and she called me "Grasshopper."  Maybe because I was young?  Anyway, I went home, watched some TV, or I read Acts 55 to Petie.  Later on we had supper, before I went outside and watered the flowers.  When I came in, I watched some more TV, one of the shows I watched with my mom, the shows main characters were Shawn and Gus, and Shawn used his fake ability to help solve crimes.

When the show was over, I hugged my mom, got ready for the night, had my special good night routine with Petie , Skipper, and Toby .  I also sang ‍Skip To My Lou ‍ to Skipper.  After my bed time prayer, I went to sleep , and rested peacefully .

I woke up with a slight sore throat , but I still went on with my morning.  I fed Toby and Skipper, and I uncovered Petie's cage.  I ate a waffle , watched my morning game shows, before I got ready for the day.  After I got ready for the day, I cleaned Petie's cage, Mom and I had lunch.  After lunch, I read more of Acts 6, and I changed the water in the 5, that I was trying to change into a sick tank.  I also cleaned the gravel .  I was glad I removed the green artificial plant from the 10 last Friday, after Toby and Skipper burrowed themselves into the green plastic leaves.  I also cleaned the filter and the rest of the 10, before I changed the water.

I noticed Skipper was acting odd, so I decided to put in the measured amount of Melafix, in case they had gotten some injuries , Mom and I had supper, before I had a nap, then I woke up in time to see the rocket launch that took place a t 8:27 PM.  Later on, I watched TV, one show was about fish that were truly monsters of the deep in rivers, lakes, and the ocean.  I watched some other TV shows, Mom and I hugged , I got ready for the night , and I did my best to wish my sweet Petie , Skipper, and Toby a good night.  My throat started to hurt more, but a cough drop seemed to soothe it enough for me to sleep.

‍I woke up with another sore throat, but I didn't think about it too much.  It hurt a little to swallow, but I still wanted to eat.  We made pancakes with bananas inside them.  After breakfast, I got ready for the day, made my bed, before I put in another measured dose of Melafix for Skipper.  I gave Petie his royal treatment and bath.  He was a good boy, then as the afternoon went on, I started feeling really tired.  We had lunch, and I finished my chores, before I had a very long nap.

I helped my mom with supper, then I completed my Saturday night routine, to be ready for church.  I got ready for the night, but I didn't do too much of anything else, but I did write in my journal, and that was the moment I started to feel very warm.  Mom came into my room, and she felt my forehead, she thought I felt really warm too, so we took my temperature.  She saw the temperature and she showed me.  Both of us were shocked, I had a temperature of 102.5 !  She gave me some Tylenol , before she helped me say "Good night" to my Petie, Skipper, and Toby, she covered Petie, then she turned out the lights on both the five gallon and ten gallon aquariums. 

When I went to sleep , I slept with a cold rag on my forehead, and I was afraid to close my eyes, I was also afraid of my temperature going higher , which in turn made me afraid of passing away in my sleep.  I prayed though , and in a dream I had, GOD gave me peace, HE assured me that I would not die , that I needed to rest .  After that dream , I allowed myself to keep my eyes closed , and to sleep . The pain in my throat got worse , but I still managed to get some rest.

If you are still on the fence about getting vaccinated I hope that sharing  about my experience with a very severe throat infection, will encourage you to get the COVID -19 vaccine , because back in the summer of 2013 my throat infection was as close to COVID that I wanted to come.  I just had my Booster shot for Pfizer last month , I did not want to take any chances , I never want to have my throat on fire ever again, or have ceaseless coughing, and the scariest not being able to breathe .  My sister wasn't able to get her Booster yet, and she was exposed to Omicron through a patient of hers a nurse at a hospital , my sister just got over it, Praise The LORD!  I am praying for others that have the Omicron right now.  My sister is getting her Booster , I asked her if she was and she said she was. Because I had heard of cases where people got over COVID , then got it again , and it was worse the second time.  I was texting with her every night to see how she was feeling , it was scary.  My cousin also had it twice , she is a nurse in a hospital , and I prayed for her, that happened last Fall.  So, please take precautions to protect you , your loved ones, your community , and everyone around the world.  We are still in this together , I am also praying that there will come a day when we can kiss COVID Good Bye .

Enjoy Your Weekend!

The next morning, I opened my eyes and realized that I was alive.  The LORD had protected me, but I was still burning up.  I hated to wake up my mom, but I did, and she realized how hot I was. So, she had me lay down on her bed, before I was packed with rags that were soaked in ice cold water, and she also added ice.  It was obvious that we could not go to church.  I just rested on her bed for several hours.  We also talked about taking me to see my doctor, which made me afraid, that he would send me to the hospital, and I did not want to go to the hospital.  Because, I had recently heard on the news that people had gone to the hospital, got an infection and died. So, I wanted to avoid going to the hospital.

However, I also knew that something was seriously wrong with me, my throat killed me. so, this was beyond a cold or flu, or allergies.  When my temp went down, I used what strength I had to make my bed, get ready for the day, and I was also a little happy for Skipper, he had made it to his eighteenth week with us.  Petie also seemed concerned about me, especially when my mom had to help me clean his cage.  Then, Mom and I had a nourishing breakfast, and after breakfast, we may have had some devotions, then I laid in the recliner, slept, watched programs on the Disney Channel, slept some more with a cold wet rag on my forehead.  We also had a call from my sister, and I told my mom to tell my niece that I was so sorry for missing her high school graduation. My mom let me know that she forgave me, and my niece understood, and she hoped that I would feel better soon.  That made me feel a little better for a split second, I was not out of the woods yet.  Then, I got more rest, and I was able to eat my lunch, and supper later on that day.  I also tried to brush my teeth and wash my face, but I had to be packed in ice, and in ice- cold rags again.  I watched more programs on Disney Channel, then my mom helped me with my animal's good night routine, and she covered Petie's cage after I blew him a good night kiss.  I also took some Tylenol, and she put some more cold rags on my forehead, before she turned off the lights on both of the aquariums, after I added in some more treatment for Skipper, we had prayer, and I did my best to sleep in between the coughing, but I did get some sleep at some points.

When I woke up, I still felt miserable.  I did treat the water again, and I also noticed that Skipper seemed to have some kind of trouble.  I kept an eye on him, and I uncovered Petie's cage.  I also got ready for the day.  My mom made me another nourishing breakfast.  She also helped me take care of Petie.  Then, I rested more and rested every moment that I had to rest when I was not coughing. I did eat some lunch, before I rested some more, until supper time, so I did not see much TV, or even if it was on.  Later on, after supper, Mom took out the trash for me.

Then, I did watch some TV, while Mom and I continued to put cold rags on my forehead.  Later on, I rested in my room, and I noticed that Skipper was keeping to himself. I also found him in the lighthouse decoration, Mom and I thought that he was gone, but he moved out and found another place to take it easy.  Toby also seemed to sense the familiar feeling that something was wrong with his friend, Skipper.  After checking on Skipper, I had some more rest, then I got ready for the night, watched some more TV, blew my mom a kiss, and she helped me with my nightly routine with Petie, Skipper, and Toby.  We also checked my temperature again, and it was not normal, I had a temperature that was still high.  I took more Tylenol, I also tried to pray, and I went to sleep, and had a fitful night's rest at best, because of the constant coughing.

After I woke, up and got ready for the day, my mom fixed me some breakfast, after I took my medicine.  I also noticed that Skipper was not feeling well at all.  So, I got the carrier and put some water in it, before I caught him with a cup.  After he went into the carrier, I also gave him some more treatment, before we found him a peaceful area to rest in.  Then, I helped my mom take care of Petie, before I rested, and ate when it was time to eat.

We also may have gone to Walgreens to get some more medicine for my throat.  I also bought some sturdy plastic covers for the signs that I was going to make for my fish and their resting place.

We came home, had supper, then after supper, I tried to help my mom with putting out our recycling bins.  I also watched TV, and slept with more cold rags, and she helped me with good night routine with Petie and Toby.  We also said a prayer together for Skipper, before I tried to get some more rest.
