Maladies


There has been a spate of maladies at home recently. First I had my bouts of hypotension. For almost two weeks, I couldn’t do my runs because I was feeling faint. I only resumed running about week and a half ago. Then Theresa was affected by a mysterious form of allergy which caused itchy rashes to break out all over her body. Thankfully that disappeared after a couple of days and this morning, kiddo woke up with a nose bleed. It turned out she probably picked her nose too hard…

            I guess some in my church would term these “spiritual attacks” and would seek some form of deliverance. Maybe. To me it was just, well… “tough titties”?. Anyway, I did pray and they did go away.

A malady which wont go away is my work malaise. I am increasingly unhappy at work. The reasons are multiple but I guess the overriding one must be the uneasy relationship I have always had with the principal. From the very first week we have not seen eye to eye and it has truly been a wonder I am still with him, after more than 13 months. I prayed of course, but this one has so far refused to go away. Never mind, I will just plug away and see what gives, if anything.
