Listening to the Spirit Makes My Life Better

On Monday morning, I was running late as usual, and I grabbed my breakfast and my morning pills to go. I tossed a gabapentin in my lunch bag, also as usual. I take it three times each day now.

Then I had the thought that I should put a few gabapentin pills into the little container I keep in my purse. Ibuprofen pills live there. Immodium did until I began needing it so often that it was just easier to keep the Immodium bottle in there. I thought the gabapentin pills would be too large for the little container, but a few of them fit just fine.

On Tuesday, when I held and comforted Little Doll, I stayed very late at her school. I had planned to run home for lunch after that and take my pill. I ended up not having time, so I had to skip lunch. But I can't skip my pill! I mean, I'm sure I wouldn't die. But I really shouldn't skip it.

I remembered that little container of pills, which now held three gabapentin tablets. When I left Little Doll's school, I took one and went straight to my next stop.

Because I had listened to the spirit the day before, I was able to relax and comfort Little Doll (and myself) without worrying about my medicine. No stress. Just rocking.
