BLESSED BEYOND MEASURE
Today my shirt said “Blessed Beyond Measure” and someone looked at my cast on my wrist and was like “Really??”. Absolutely!! My stupidity is no reflection on my blessings! I know God was just shaking his head as I chased Bodee around my car and continued to chase him even after I broke my wrist! He tries to help us but we have to have some sense!! 😜 One thing I did not mention in my post about the accident was after I made it to the couch, I passed out, I didn’t share because I was just trying not to make it dramatic. I was only out a few minutes but I wholeheartedly believe God intervened so I would realize how serious it was. Otherwise, I might still be chasing the cat! 😸 Our preacher last night asked if we share our daily walk with God with anyone and I don’t nearly enough! Let me tell you though, God is riding shotgun with me 24/7 otherwise my life would be in shambles. The peace in your heart once you let Him in is indescribable. That turmoil you feel, you just have to talk to Him, he will calm the noise. God knows we are going to make dumb mistakes but he has to give us the opportunity to learn. Can he keep those things from happening? 100% absolutely, no doubt! But He knows without misfortune we would all be heathens! I AM blessed far beyond measure! ❤️

BODEE
Let me give you a glimpse of how my OCPD works…
Bodee has recently started running out in the garage, which I hate 😐because he just loves to roll around on the dusty floor and against the dirty tires…..dirtier the better! Because I can’t have him bringing dirt in the house, when he does this, he gets a bath! Not a full like complete submerge but a hobo bath (is hobo offensive these days? 🤷♀️). So Saturday night as I do my nightly walk thru the house before bed 🛌 to make sure all the doors are locked, I get to the door leading to the garage and I can’t remember if I closed my overhead garage door earlier so I crack the door just enough to look….mind you Bodee is in the bedroom but suddenly like a ninja 🥷 he runs thru the tiny opening and in to the garage he goes. Thankfully the overhead door was closed but I then spent 30 minutes trying to wrangle him back in the house. I used all the bribes I had in my arsenal and he just sat under my car snickering 😸 at me while rubbing his chin on my dirty undercarriage! Finally I gave up, beaten by this adorable little monster and I just go to bed! I proudly laid there for a good 20 minutes before I admitted to myself that I could not leave my baby in the garage over night! So here I go again, I get the broom and leave the door open thinking I can drive him out from under my car and he will run inside. I did drive him out but he now thinks we are playing chase around my car! So he turns and runs around the drivers side and as I am chasing him I stumble and to catch myself I reach out with my left hand and accidentally hit my drivers side mirror and bend my hand backwards at the wrist! Like I screamed like a banshee (I just googled what is a banshee) which made Bodee run inside thankfully! So we are in the house and I am really in pain 😭 so I make it to the couch to sit down but all I can think about is……………Bodee needs a bath!!!! That is how my OCPD works…..I am fully focused tunnel vision and don’t realize how bad I’m truly hurting! So I chased him for another few minutes trying to get him to wipe him down but he was so terrified from the banshee he wasn’t having it. Finally I realized how foolish I was being and that I needed medical attention. Yes, I did in fact break my wrist! Morale of the story: leave the cat in the garage! And don’t come at me about my cat 😻 or what you’d do cause he is more human then most people I know! 😜
