So far, the injection I took for my headaches is not working very well. I’ve had a headache almost every day this month. I had one yesterday and had to come home from work. I’m going to assess how I feel this morning and if I still have a headache, I’m calling in sick. I’m not discouraged yet. The doctor said it could take a month or two before it kicks in. The good news is that the insurance finally agreed to pay for my Migranal. Instead of costing $1900, it will only cost $10.
My life seems to be full of hurry up and wait. Whether it’s work or my personal life, it seems that I either have a lot going on or nothing at all. Right now not much is going on at work or in my personal life. Next week is probably going to be a bit different. I’m heading to visit a very good friend in New York City, or as she would point out, I’m going to spend the week in Manhattan. We have a few things planned, which I’ll talk about next week, but it’s mostly about being with my friend. So while I might be bored this week, I won’t be next week.
O Me! O Life!
BY WALT WHITMAN
Oh me! Oh life! of the questions of these recurring,
Of the endless trains of the faithless, of cities fill’d with the foolish,
Of myself forever reproaching myself, (for who more foolish than I, and who more faithless?)
Of eyes that vainly crave the light, of the objects mean, of the struggle ever renew’d,
Of the poor results of all, of the plodding and sordid crowds I see around me,
Of the empty and useless years of the rest, with the rest me intertwined,
The question, O me! so sad, recurring—What good amid these, O me, O life?
Answer.
That you are here—that life exists and identity,
That the powerful play goes on, and you may contribute a verse.

I haven’t had but one day off in the last two weeks. I’m taking today off to try and sleep in.
The LORD shall fight for you, and ye shall hold your peace. (KJV) ( Exodus 14:14 )
When you find yourself full of despair and hopelessness, look to God. When everyone around you says it can’t be done, it’s not worth your energy, or you have too much to lose; Do not allow your obstacle to appear larger than what God can handle. Remember God is greater than the obstacle at hand. Have faith in Him and He will fight the battle for you.
