The Battle of the Illness: The Attack of Congestion

Well, I stayed home sick again today. I am losing The Battle of the Illness, and Joshua is insisting that I have a fever and should go see a doctor. I however think he is far too worried and he cant prove I have a fever as we have no thermometer to see if I do. In all I do feel better, other than my aching body, lack of energy and my Immune Army has now been attacked by The Congestion Beast, making it impossible for me to breathe. It is my belief that I simply need another day of rest to let my body heal itself, but Joshua is insistent that I get some medication to help. I however don't believe there is an infection. Since I have been confined to my home to sneeze my brains out, I have been passing the time searching for new vineyards to conquer in The Battle for Advancement at Work. Joshua has found some paid internships to apply for. His company (One On One Marketing) has been downsizing, and we have now become concerned with preparing for an inevitable layoff. Even though we have now way fully preparing for the inevitable, we remain hopeful and know that our God will take care of us as he has hitherto done.

Although we have not much and funds are tight due to educational needs, He has ensured that our needs are met, and we have not been left wanting. The blessings of paying tithing and attending the temple have become manifest in our everyday life. We never use more than what we have budgeted and for some reason we usually spend significantly less. How this happens week after week is surprising to me. We have many tender mercies laid before us on a daily bases. We have a warm home to protect us and we have working vehicles. We have jobs which provide the funds to take care of our needs. We have a wonderful new ward who has welcomed us in with open arms. So many blessings we can't even see. Rocky ( our cat) has discovered to arrow on the computer moves and he is fascinated by it. He spent almost twenty minutes trying to catch it as i surfed the Internet looking for jobs openings. He is certainly a puzzling creature. He is curious about everything and has to investigate it. He also whines more than any child I know of. In spite of all this he is wonderful company to have.
