Thanksgiving

My sister reminded me recently that I had not posted in a while. I am becoming quite lax about posting or life is just becoming busier. Possibly both.
This month has been full in a variety of ways. At the beginning of the month I was really struggling with migraines. Eventually through both chiropractic and regular medical care we seem to have come up with a solution. It does require me to take preventative meds every day, and we are still sorting out what works for me, but I am just so thankful that someone took me seriously and that we found a solution that works even if it does need a little tweaking. Having hope is such a powerful thing.
The second half of the month was mostly taken up with being out of it because of my meds. :) But I also had a few bakery orders and was anticipating a trip "back east". For Thanksgiving I got to come and be with a different part of my family--part of my spiritual and emotional family. My former roommate, Julie, invited me to come to Pennsylvania for Thanksgiving with her family and we made arrangements for me to be here for a bit more extended period of time (almost two weeks).
I flew on Thanksgiving day, which was wonderfully cheap, and actually a very smooth time to fly. Both flights arrived early. They were full flights with lots of kids, but on neither of the flights did the kids cause any problems. It was really just a pleasant, smooth trip. And the best thing was that when I arrived at 5:30pm Julie was waiting there for me to chauffeur me to her parents' house for their second dinner and my first. I have to admit that it was a wonderful meal and so very similar to what I would have had with my own family that I felt right at home.
I do feel so very blessed to be able to be a part of other families. I miss my own, especially those who are overseas, but God has always provided many others to take me in and make me feel an integral part of their own families. And I feel blessed.

Migraine, Migraine go away, come again some other day!

Seriously. Please? Pretty please? Begging on my knees?

So that migraine that I mentioned a few weeks ago is still hanging on. Most of the time it is a minor nuisance, but every once in a while it flairs up into a dramatic someone-is-screwing-things-into-my-brain-please-make-them-stop! kind of way. Probably once or twice a week. Occasionally three times?
I would definitely appreciate your prayers on this. I have never had a migraine like this before and I am at my wits end to know what to do about it. It typically hits on Sundays and usually one other day of the week, but Sundays are my days off so my body knows it can relax. : |  Consequently, I think I've only made it to church once in the last month which is frustrating to say the least.
I'm thinking about going to a doctor, but since I don't have medical insurance...sigh. That is a whole other process and expense which I really can't afford at this point. Times like this I wish I was in Ukraine again where I could just do my research and go out and buy the drugs I needed. Oh well, in the mean time, please pray for me for healing and for wisdom about going to the doctor.
