Turn Around Days

August 5, 2017: Some days are next to impossible to fight through. I'm going on my 10th day now with this constant headache/migraine. Most days it's tolerable. Some days it's "leave me alone" throbbing, light and sound piercing, pain. Today's headache pain is accompanied by my usual arthritis and some minor ankle pain. However today has been exceptionally hard. General moodiness. The feeling of desire to snap some heads off just for looking at you or talking to you. The desire to be ALONE! Not go to work. Stay home and ice my ankle, do some essential oil massage to my ankle and knees. Some days it's impossible to smile. You can't see any good in your life.
Someone came to me and asked if I went to mall management and ratted on him for something? I said no. Seriously, people have nothing better to do than to make up lies about me? Then a male coworker started cussing at me when I asked if he could help my brother and I out at the end of the night, telling me he doesn't need me telling him how to do his job. I'm sorry, I think I asked a question Mr. I think I'm privileged and I don't want a woman to ask me for help!
However, just when you think your day can't get any worse, while you are at work, my good friend Autmn walks in the mall. I instantly felt at ease. I suddenly remembered how to smile. Shout out to you girl. Thank you! You are my strength some days. I remember to write my blogs for my audience,  to give you strength to get up and get going! To remind you that I too am having rough days and good days. Everyone asks about my ankle. I appreciate it.  It's been 24 days since I noticed something was wrong. I probably injured it the night before on Wed the 12. I'm still having major swelling some days. However because we had a lady to quit my hours at work got bumped up.  I'm not sure that's good for my ankle. I don't know.....
Anyways, Autumn you were the turning point in my day! The coworker who cussed me out today, later apologized and even gave a hug and explained how I caught him at a bad time and I think I gave him a bonus. I didn't really solve his problem but told him something my dad taught me. He was intrigued and appreciated what I told him. So that little issue was solved.... YAY!
Still don't know who was talking behind my back spreading lies but it hurt. It's childish. I'd expect stuff like that in high school. Not work.
However I had some excitement while doing closing duties tonight. The local fine men in blue escorted a nice lady out of the ladies restroom at Texas Roadhouse as she sported a beautiful pair of silver bracelets, beautiful tall stilettos, bloodshot looking eyes, and a gaze that drilled holes through walls because she was OD'd in the bathroom. I  saw her and realized, that I could be way worse off than I am. I don't have a serious drug addiction. I'm not in jail at this moment. I'm home in my safe place.
Looking back.. well... I had lots of reasons to keep smiling, I just hadn't seen all of them yet. My car ignition switch chamber is replaced by my loving dad. My friend Autumn and I cheered and helped each other out today. Things got solved with the coworker. I have tomorrow off so I can worship the most magnificent and glorious God and Father in Heaven. He gave me today. He gave me Autumn. He gave me everything!

Psalm 86:15 But you, O Lord, are a God merciful and gracious, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast loveand faithfulness.
Zephaniah 3:17 The LORD your God is in your midst, a mighty one who will save; he will rejoice over you with gladness; he will quiet you by his love; he will exult over you with loud singing.
