A Monday Holiday

By Joe

Thankfully, today is a holiday for me. The university decided to give us a four day weekend. It’s a good thing too. I need a day of recovery. Our weather has been crappy. It rained all day yesterday, not to mention that our air quality has been particularly bad because of the Canadian wildfires. These two things in combination created a perfect storm for a major migraine. The nausea was especially bad with this one. I ended up having to not only take my full arsenal of migraine medication but also my anti-nausea medicine. These medicines in combination make it difficult to stay awake and can usually take a day to recover. They helped to end the migraine and nausea, but I’m really glad I have the day off to recover.

I began my life in the South and for five years lived as a closeted teacher, but am now making a new life for myself as an oral historian in New England. I think my life will work out the way it was always meant to be. That doesn't mean there won't be ups and downs; that's all part of life. It means I just have to be patient. I feel like October 7, 2015 is my new birthday. It's a beginning filled with great hope. It's a second chance to live my life…not anyone else's. My profile picture is "David and Me," 2001 painting by artist Steve Walker. It happens to be one of my favorite modern gay art pieces. View all posts by Joe
