Tylenol For One
This has been an absolutely gorgeous day! It has also been a very productive day for me. I did a lot of driving, talking, thinking, reminiscing, planning, socializing, signing, and erranding (I added the "ing" on the end of errands for effect). Accompanying my eventful day was a headache that started as a hint of an ache behind my eyes, but as the day wore on increased to a monster sized headache on steroids. By the time our church functions were over tonight, all I could think of was getting home and finding SOMEthing for my nauseating headache and going to bed. After getting the kids settled I went to the medicine cabinet to get me some extra strength anything. But to my distress, there was nothing. And then the frantic search ensued - I searched the drawers, kitchen cabinets, every purse I owned, medicine cabinet AGAIN (in case I overlooked something by chance)drawers, oh yeah, already said that. As I was realizing I had nothing at home to take, I breathed these little words to the Lord, "I remember when my spouse was here, that was one thing he was really good at - he would go get me something if I needed it." Times like that tend to make a person feel all alone. I had resigned to the fact that I would just have to try to outlive this headache and pray that I would have some relief through sleep soon. For some reason - God - I looked one more time in the kitchen junk drawer (now, come on, you have one, too) and I found an old Cracker Barrel gum tin that I had from a while back. I picked it up, shook it and heard some small rattling. I opened it, and what did I find? TWO Tylenol pills. TWO! One serving just for me from my faithful Husband. And He spoke to me, "See, I am your true Love. I provided these just for you! Sleep well, my princess." So, with my pills taken, a smile on my face, and a headache soon on it's way out, I will be going to bed and resting well tonight.
