Wednesday and Thursday nights I did not get to sleep until morning. Throbbing pain kept me awake.
I could not make it to church. I either could not stay awake long enough in the mornings or I just could not walk that far.
Thursday was pretty much nothing but misery. However, I did make it to the eye doctor. I am not without risk of glaucoma. While on the northside, I stopped at Yummy's for lunch. It is a local buffet. Two plates, I felt full. When I got home, the pain flared. I got an idea that I thought might help.
I did group but not The Dumpling House.
That got me through most of Friday. The idea seemed to help. Mostly. Only I was so tired when I got up this morning that I gave up on being away at 6 AM on Saturday.
Today, I walked down to Wheeling and Riverside to catch the bus. It was late, and the spasm almost had me ready to go home. Necessity kept me in place. Something good came of that: I am pretty sure I saw small sanpping turtles sunning themselves on the embankment. It seems to me there were upwards of a half dozen. Maybe three or four more swimming. No sign of any fish.
I got my groceries at Payless and came home.
No going to the art shows, no go going to Ink Drinkers, no church, but a lot of soaking in the bath. A walk down to the convenience store a few minutes ago felt like a hike.
All I did today was get “After Making Landfall” submitted.
I will go to Liturgy tomorrow. I need some peace and hope.
