Ministry, Work, Love, and Life

 So, began therapy Tuesday, got a book from the therapist, The Family Crucible. Nothing really heart-shattering happened with either.

Wednesday, took the day off to work on, by far, my unruliest horse, which I’m not quite sure why I continue to work with. I love her owners; that’s gonna be my excuse. So, I did that, found a nail in her frog,  and realized I was really tired. Then I noticed this horrible cough I had. I was sure it was from the tea my acupuncturist gave me to clear out my lungs, so I went on a short hike, got totally winded, and went home. 2 hours of community service, home again, bed. Woke up about every hour from coughing so hard.

Thursday, Woke up  right before the alarm, still coughing, but feeling able to conquer the world. Get to work and, only when my nose starts running, do I realize I’ve gotten the flu. I don’t mind the cough, but I work with food, and it’s just wrong to expose others to this junk, especially with food. So my boss won’t let me go home, evn though I’ve rubbed my lip raw in trying to contain the flood, He asks, ” Are you really that bad off? I have too many people going home, already.” This was a total lie, and the sad part is he says this to all that aren’t his favored few. Sadder still, He’s also a Christian. Anyway, I was right at the point where it was too funny to fight him, so I just went back to work. I was too tired. About ten minutes later, he let me go. Acupuncture and Chiropractor, teas and formulas, and pills. Lots of rest.

Friday was a total wash. I stayed in bed til noon, and went back and forth after that, from bed to bathroom, watched a movie. I did learn how much I can drink without having to get up and go, and I also learned that you have to stretch once in a while. 16 hours of bedrest does wonders.

Saturday, Here I come to clean the day! Bathroom, laundry separated, dishes done, vaccuumed. Hey, no runny nose. WOOHOO!!!!!!!!!!!
