I'm oxygen deprived. The bi-pap machine went kaput last Sunday. I almost nodded off while working at the library. I also had trouble staying alert during church this morning.

Linda's fussing at me. She's afraid I'll get sick again. I've called all the places I know to call. I can get a replacement machine for $200 down and then they'll turn it over to insurance. I can't figure out why insurance is being left out of the loop from the get go. I have to more options that I haven't tried yet. I'll be calling them tomorrow.

I'm working on getting the old truck fixed. It's actually in better shape than the one I totalled. I can't stand being without transportation. A lot of good things have come out of this but it's also giving me the feeling of being utterly powerless. I hate this feeling. It puts me right back at step one.

Still trying to hitch a ride with someone to hear Linda speak on the 23rd. I want to be there to support her. She's without a sponsor right now. The paradox says not to count on him but then asks when it is. Elyce tells me not to count her out but she seldom fulfills any promises that she makes. Marian has no interest in going. If I should get a vehicle up and running I could drive myself.

Life. Can it get any better?

That was a little sarcastic of me. Sorry. I'm actually at a good place right now. I'm grateful for all the new acquaintances that I'm making and the help I'm getting. I'm just a little frustrated that I have no control over anything. Actually that's not quite right. I do have control over my classroom and it's actually running more smoothly.
