How I'm doing

Here’s a quick update on how things are going.

First, thank you to everyone who has helped in any way – with money, prayers, or communicating your concern.

I'm in remission from my TN. That means I haven’t had any pain during the past week. Consequently, I’ve been working (a temp job that isn’t anything to speak of except that I made more than I would have substitute teaching– so I won’t say more than this). That will help some, but not nearly enough.

However, I began to have symptoms of something about Thursday – a cold or some kind of flu. Today (Sunday) afternoon has been the worst of it. I'm scheduled to work again tomorrow (same nothing to speak of temp job), so I will not get any worse.

Some money has come in. The good news is that I’ve been able to pay one month of my rent, my phone bill, and my internet payment, and I’ve gotten a little gas and food.

On the other hand, I still have half a month’s rent overdue, a car payment that must be paid soon, $300 in loan payments that must be paid in the next couple of weeks, and a medical test that I have to have within the next couple of weeks. I haven’t been able to buy my medications, but since I'm in remission, it doesn’t feel as urgent as it would otherwise. And, of course, food and gas are an ongoing issue.

I still have some things to sell, but circumstances have interfered with doing that. Hopefully I'll be able to connect with people who have shown interest in those things soon.

That’s enough for now. Anyone who feels called to help knows what to do. As always, I appreciate prayers if nothing else.

Love and light to you all,
Michael
