Battle Week

"...I know that things can really get rough when you go it alone
Don't go thinking you gotta be tough, to play like a stone
Could be there's nothing else in our lives so critical
As this little hole..." - Simple Song, The Shins

This week has been one heck of a week! It's been rough, but just because the week has gotten the best of me it doesn't mean that I've loss completely. It just means I got to put in 200% next week, that's all. 

I started Monday with a huge migraine so after an hour at work I came home. I've been home since. I went to urgent care just in case but was sent to ER for a CT scan stating they've seen these symptoms before.  Better safe than sorry, right? I ended up with a migraine cocktail (IV bag with a mixture of some other strong drugs). Felt a little better so they released me after a few hours. I was so drowsy though. I'm thankful for a husband who drove me around all day. Love you, Sweetie. I slept like a baby since 3pm and it is now after midnight. The last thing I remember was Jamy's voice.

While I was asleep, I dreamed that I slept through the entire weekend and missed another week of work. I felt horrible. Then, I remember that it was going to be Friday, but somehow it was already Monday! Did I completely miss Mother's Day??? I woke up panicking. My dreams are crazy, y'all. It seriously gets the best of me sometimes.

Well, while it may be a bad and unproductive week, it is not an unproductive month and/or year. I may have drawn the shorter end of the stick this week but I am alive, which means I have plenty more opportunities to make up for what I've loss. I will not let one bad week get the best of me. I am breathing still and that's worth all the celebration in the world! I know that because of Jesus, I have received grace upon grace. That is enough for me.

"For from his fullness we have all received, grace upon grace." - John 1:16 (ESV)
