I am wrapping up a very long week of classes. So far, five days of at least a 4 hour class a day, standing on concrete floors. With full classes. And not the most engaged of students.
Insight Group ministry on Tuesday night…
Grief Group on Wednesday lunch time…
Jail ministry on Wednesday night…
Exercise at 0600 on Friday and an exceptionally difficult class Friday afternoon…
Being insulted and disrespected by people that should know better and are supposed to love me.
And depression so deep and dark that it hurts.
I am also working all weekend.
I just got a message from my pharmacy that a medication that I take that I used to get from the mail order pharmacy for $40 for a 90 supply, that they can no longer fill for me through mail order and now have to go through retail, is going to cost me $192.19 for a one month supply!!! (Boy, that’s a long, run-on sentence). From $40 for 90 days to $192.19 for 30 days. That’s 14.4 times higher! $576.57 for what used to cost me $40? A 1,441% increase!
How many other ways can I say it? How many other ways can I express my outrage?
Dark week.
All of that to say, I suppose (and now Izzy JUST tells me that we have to leave right now for her hair cut appointment that she didn’t tell me about!!! But … never mind. Like I said, not being respected by people who should respect you, hurts) … Anyway, All that to say that there won’t be an issue tomorrow and possibly not on Monday. I need to do some inner reflection and something to improve this depression that is darkening my doorway. I am fine and well so don’t worry about me, just didn’t want you to worry when you didn’t see an issue tomorrow and I know you are like family and I can talk to you all about things and you may hear from me again this weekend still.
Love you all,
Cheers,

Just a thought…Being a Sin Eater for the world is mentally oppressive. Helping people and watching them go right back to whatever the problem is/was is disturbing. Carrying that load when you have your own load is debilitating.
ai wish you the best. I appreciate your posts more than you know. Stay Safe, Be Blessed
Semper Fi
Inhale faith and exhale fear, lather rinse and repeat. It always works out in the end. If things ain’t OK it ain’t the end
The world about you is a killer. The best we can do is make attempts to resist but it is usually futile. Long ago I learned to have very limited trust in anyone or anything but God. Humans, at best, are filled with degenerate flaws and will usually disappoint even when they are tiring to be decent to you. Corporation’s and the government will always do their best to screw you over. That said every day you are above ground resisting them is acid on their soul. While the say the best revenge is living well I still take pleasure is the suffering of my enemies and the joy of my compadres. Hang tough brother if not for yourself for your loved ones.
Appreciate the update. I’m glad God is watching over you.
