Took couple hours to fall back to sleep.
700 woke thinking I overslept. Still in much pain. At least headache has eased a little.
Bible Reading 2 Kings 23-25, Psalm 51
1200 worked on completing Jordon’s grades and submitting them for graduation. Brain is tired, legs below knees tingling and burning, feet & ankles freezing. Need to rest.
Just went on trip last weekend and haven’t been able to rest and recoup. I’m hurting quite a bit, but praise I’ve not had a migraine since I started taking a Palmitoylethanolamide (PEA) supplement.
Dezirae and I finished up at Lawana’s house for her daughter, Gaynor, this week. The Estate Sales people take over now. It’s seams surreal and bittersweet.
We were able to lead a teenager boy to the Lord during counseling last night. Praise the Lord! I’m hoping he will ring the bell in church tonight.
Today devil is fighting thru some people that know better. The natural man wants to reach out and touch someone, but I know I can’t.
It’s all just catching up and hitting me at the same time. Lol. I’ll be okay just need a day to rest and relax.
Was supposed to attend another funeral tomorrow, but Joe is letting me off hook and will take Jordon with him instead so I can rest. He’s even going to cook dinner for me tomorrow
11:00p Praise! The young man that got saved rang the bell in church tonight.

Bible Reading: 1 Chronicles 1-2
In much pain and feeling very lethargic today. Thankful to be able to rest today.
Went back to bed until 10am. Probably could sleep longer but won’t.

723 researching benefits of Gaba

“various lifestyle and genetic factors can throw GABA out of whack” what about traumatic experiences like a lightning strike? Hehe.

930 going to bed. Exhausted and did hardly anything today.
In so much pain, stinging burning throbbing pain throughout body. Low back throbbing burning. Took Gaba – 1 capsule – to calm brain and nerves. Hoping it helps.
Taking tylenol to ease pain so I can get some sleep.
Tummy hurts from eating sugary foods today. Ugh! They are not my friend.
Thankful for…
- A caring, loving family
- To be alive
- Even on bad days, I can put my trust in Him.

About had panic attack because I couldn’t find my glasses. I thought they were on my head. I feel stupid know bc they were on my face the whole time. Lol.
On way home, Joe and I got into discussion about a house color on way home. I thought the lighter color was green at one time but now it looks cream/beige color. Joe insists it’s still green. Asks if I need my eyes checked. Told him, “Probably, but oh well.” My eye problems aren’t from my eyes but others issues I’m dealing with.
