Refresh Me, O Lord!

I am writing this blog now at Starbucks Coffee in Cathay Building. This is the first time I am patronising this branch and I must say it is more conducive than Coffee Bean in Ngee Ann City. I guess this will be the place to come the next time I want to get some work done.

I brought mum to see another doctor this afternoon, recommended to me by a doctor-friend. Mum has indeed lost weight since Sunday - two kilogrammes in all. That's quite a lot in a span of three days. Probably she has not been eating much as she has not been having good appetite lately. Mum was tested for her sugar level and the specialist suspected it could be her diabetes acting up. There is a bit of water retention on both legs. She has been given some medication and I hope they will help improve her condition.

The past few days I have trying to prepare for the facilitators' training to be held this Saturday but just could not get into the swing of things. I am basically distracted and troubled over mum's physical condition. Anyway, I hope to get some preparations done from tomorrow onwards.

I decided to go out to catch some breather after sending mum home and cooking dinner for the family. I will be staying out till next morning as I will be joining some friends to watch the Liverpool-AC Milan Champions League final. I am not as excited as I was two years ago but I guess I will still go watch it.

I am actually quite exhausted - I hope the Lord will refresh me soon.

Oh yah, I have a thanksgiving today. I do not know whether I wrote this before in my previous blog. I asked a brother-in-Christ to try to salvage the data from my crashed hard-disk. He gave me a scare last Friday when he told me he had misplaced it in church. On Sunday he still could not find it. Then yesterday he called to inform me that he had found the hard-disk and he was also able to retrieve the data. All these while, the disk was in another brother-in-Christ's car. Thanks be to God! This has been one of my prayer items for the past few days. Truly He has heard me!

I guess that is all for today. Praise the Lord for today!
