After all the challenges Daughter has presented in the last few days, I'm focusing on positive things today. One of the biggest ones is that she no longer lives with me. She is safe in her group home. I'm grateful. She is calling me a couple of times a day, trying to sound pathetic. I listen between the lines and I know she is doing well. Today she was cleaning and rearranging her room (again). I think she keeps rearranging it because she is desperate to bring order to the chaos in her brain.
Today I am watching college football while waiting for the delivery of a new bed. I've been waking up with back pain at least once a week, so I went out and ordered a new mattress. I bought a memory foam mattress, and the base is adjustable. I've had the head of my bed elevated for several years to help with my sleep apnea and GERD. I had two raisers under the legs of the bed at the head of the bed. It made it challenging to move the bed. Because of the way the headboard was on my old bed, I couldn't lean on it. It was challenging to read in bed, with the challenges of the bed and my bifocals. Now, I will be able to do it.
My old bed will go into Daughter's room, which means I'll have a double bed for guests.
Tomorrow we have a drama instead of the sermon. I wrote it, and we will be hearing from 3 characters in the book of Acts. We practiced last Sunday, and I think it will be good. The congregation loves it when we do creative things in worship. I get bored so I have to mix things up. Things are going really well at the church. We continue to grow in so many ways. I am grateful.

Glad that daughter is feeling a bit better, even if she doesn't think she is. I hope you're going to love that memory foam mattress, it sounds heavenly! - AprilinRI
