Rain and Migraines

By Joe

We are expecting rain from today until Wednesday, which is most likely the reason why I’ve had a migraine all weekend. My migraine actually woke me up twice in the night last night. I was hoping I would wake up this morning and it would be better. And maybe it is a little, but it definitely has not gone away. I’d like to call in sick today but unless it get worse before it’s time to leave, I’ll probably go in and at least try to work this morning. 

I hate my migraines, and I really hate that they are so affected by atmospheric changes. Vermont had gotten a lot of rain this summer which has proved to be a real problem. I wish we could have at least a week of nice sunny weather. Vermont needs a break from the rain so we can finally dry out after the floods a few weeks ago. The standing water causes more issues than just saturating the ground and not allowing any place for more rain to go. It also means an infestation of mosquitoes. I feel like I can’t leave my apartment without spraying myself down with insect repellent. I hate mosquitoes!

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

    Joe,
    This is a fascinating photo composition. The sculpture looks like Adam hiding his nakedness with a branch of fig. Can you tell me where this was taken? And the living Adam is sensibly prepared for rain or sun!

      I’m glad you liked the photo. The only thing I know about the photo is that I came across it on Tumblr. Sadly, I have no idea where it was taken or who the statue is. My best guess is that it’s in Florida and is Poseidon. There something very Floridian about the image.
