I chose health

I was fired last Thursday. The day after posting about the struggle of work and my eye issue, I went to work. By 12:30, I couldn't read anymore. I had to leave. There was nothing else I could do. So I let them know, and they kindly advised me that they were going to end my assignment. I went to the opthamologist, and he gave me a prescription for drops to put in my eye every hour, as well as use my other drops 3 times a day, instead of 2. He asked me to get tested for lupus. I'm doing that today.
Yesterday, I went back to him and he is weaning me off of the every hour drops (they're steroid drops), and told me I don't have to take the other drops anymore. Yay! Keep praying for us.

Bri had her first 2 driving lessons, and she's doing pretty good! Lawrence and I were at the school to pick her up on Monday when we saw her drive in, make a turn, and park at the corner. It was very good for her first time ever making a real car move! Yesterday she said she went on the main road and did very well. Monday, she wasn't making the best left turns, but yesterday she said she did great. I tried to take a picture, but it's hard when you can't see. She has today and tomorrow to do more, then she can take her permit test. Then, she's going to want to get in our car to practice. Please pray for us!

I may be travelling to Philly next month. My mother is having ankle surgery, so I want to be there to help a little. Don't know if I'll have the funds, because I'm not working now. We'll see.

Nate was asked to participate in this 'Math Superstars' program, so he'll be getting more math homework every week. Not sure how he'll like it, but I signed him up. He needs the extra work.

School pictures: Renee has school pictures back, Bri took some, but they're not back yet, Nate forgot, so he didn't get any pics. I'll let you guys know.

Well, I'm off. Lawrence has an appt. today.

Thanks, and God Bless!
