Prayers Please & News

Prayer Request: I got out of my recliner this a.m. to head to the gym and something "tweaked and twinged" in my knee. This is fairly normal for my 45 year old body. Instead of doing the ARC at level 19 - I went for level 8 - 11. I tried to bump to 13 - 14 and my knee screamed. I knew when I got off the machine I would need heat today..... Working out regularly when you are over 45, at a level that will raise cardio, does seem to result in fairly regular twinges in one's knees.....Jamin suggested it's time for me to settle for Water Aerobics. ::snort:: I've had to sit with heat/ice and ibuprofen all day. This is NOT a good time for me to be unable to get around. Though, it may give me time to sit and work on photos. (Today we finished our Japanese Lapbook). I'm disappointed to miss tonight's SACHSA Tea - but if I want to be able to teach tomorrow night and attend the chapel tea etc...I'd better pay attention to the ole' knee.


Mike finalized tickets to Tokyo today. We'll leave at 1:00 p.m. on the 5th of July and arrive at 3:30 p.m. on the 6th. We laughed as they gave us ONE travel day - they'll amend that. Mike needs to talk to a different office to get us from Tokyo to Misawa. ::snort::


We'll have packers in here the week of 11 May. I met a lady named Angel online. She's a PWOC lady who saw my name on an email somewhere and then heard I was moving to Misawa. She's a chaplain's wife who was in Misawa. She called last night and helped me wrap my mind around HOW to organize for these packers. I think I'll get some colored labels.....storage, accompanied, unaccompanied and label everything.


Mike's supervisor will be on leave from 4 - 21 May; I'm starting to wonder when the "slow down to focus on the move" time happens. ::snort::


The Air Force is going to store our van for us in Seattle.


Please do pray about our house. We can't get it on the market until the house is empty and we paint and put in new carpet. They will not be able to get into the house until 18 May at the earliest.

Choosing Joy!

I'm praying for you! I know how overwhelming it can all seem when you're moving - especially when you have to deal with putting a house up for sale. I have faith that it will all work out...

Having done the multiple shipments multiple times, I have found LARGE labels are best.....what is the order of your packing?? For instance, those packing for storage will be a different day than those packing for your regular HHG will be different from your express shipment..... if at all possible physically separate the stuff into different rooms... and even more than a "do not pack" label on cabinets, you need to put bix Xs of masking tape over the cabinet so taht the tape would coem undone if opened.....

Sorry about your knee-I'll lift you up in my prayer time before bed. Do you need anything? Just ask.

Ugh...what a pain (!) about the knee.

I'm off exercising atm due to my naughty hip. Have been for 3 weeks now and am starting to put on weight! When you've been exercising regularly, if you have to stop becuause of injury, it seems quite easy to put weight on again.

I hope it sorts itself out quickly.

Wow, it's all moving so fast! Getting your tickets must be exciting.
