This is the day the LORD has made; We will rejoice and be glad in it.  Psalm 118:24

 Today i have a few hours to myself. my mother-in-law came and took Ashley to her piano lesson, since i cant drive yet. cant turn my head all the way to see who coming, and i dont feel good anyways. i have a bad migraine so im taking a little time to rest and try to relieve it. i havent even felt like homeschooling Ashley but i have to. i guess what i feel has something to do with being hypothyroid.....  Mom  even brought dinner for us  too ..... turkey and stuffing nom nom....  im glad she did cuz i dont feel like cooking dinner .......its a nice sunny day here but cold, makes me think God wants me to know that there is light at the end of the tunnel that i cant see yet.  All i can see up ahead is seeing my endo doc next tues and starting this L.I.D. for 2 weeks, my husband ordered me a cookbook for the low iodine diet (LID) last night online so i can look at it rather than online all the time, then after that i get my prescan, then I-131 (RAI= radioactive iodine)  that will be mid march...
 i hate to think how tired im going to be during the LID if im feeling tired, and not feeling like doing anything but sleep now. if i get my cookbook before i start diet i may do what they said i should is to make stuff ahead and freeze so i dont have to later when im really tired, but would have to go grocery shopping. so glad that God provided us with some beef a friend that use to go to our church offer to us since they were getting another yrs worth of beef for themselves and didnt want what they ahd to go to waste, i wont have to buy beef for serveral months, and makes room in my food budget to buy "special" foods for me. Im glad i know how to cook from scratch not too many ppl these days do. i have to have everything made from stratch since i cant have iodine that means i have to have non-iodized salt in my foods, and how much food these days in the store is not made from salt? what a way to lose weight not the way i wanted to tho. after my treatment ill be on the thyroid replacement pill so hoping that will help me out with my energy and weight, i do need to lose some weight but i dont want to lose it from LID.
i wonder if i woulda been on the thyroid pill anyways cuz my surgeon said that if they didnt take out the right side and tumor my thyroid wouldve stopped working completely, then they had to open me up to take left side after they found out it was cancer.
i hate feeling like im a burden to my family having cancer. Mark doesnt know what to think or feel, he just wants to fix it,which he knows he cant hes trying to find out how i got thyroid cancer and get rid of it he saw a website that said if filtered water has this certain word in the testing thats how i got it. i get my water from my moms house since i wouldnt even drink our own yuck.... and my mom is like they should be seeing u sooner then they are. i guess people handle it differently than others. i feel like my life is on pause cuz i have pain from the back of my neck from bulging/herniated discs from being rear-ended last feb anf drs wont do anything for that til i get this thyroid cancer straighten out first.
i just keep reminding myself God is in control, He knows whats ahead and i need to trust in Him....... here is a picture of something i love and makes me know God is my lighthouse guiding me where i need to be......

Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. Phil 4:6-7
