Hey, Family

Please pray against my getting sick, especially for the next week or so.  As
you know, I'm in a very bad spot between losing my old health insurance
(through no fault of my own) and trying to get a new one.  Working for the
Government there's only a very short time every year we're allowed to change
our insurance and that time is up in a few days.  I've got to go through a
lot of clerical stuff with folks at the office (even though I can sign on
through a webpage online, I've got to use a clerk because of the switch.
Plus there's some mess up in the paperwork.  Sigh.)

Bottom line is that it's very important I not get sick for the next several
weeks.  And, you guessed it, I'm not feeling well.  Smile.  I don't know
whether it's psychosomatic ("in my head") or what but starting a few hours
ago I felt dizzy and nauseous.  It's probably just "gas" (not to get too
graphic, but that's flatulence to you non-United States folks.  Smile.)  Or
something I cooked and ate.  No, I don't think it's the flu, but who knows.
You know how I am, so I'm always imagining the worst.  And even as I type
this my computer is giving me all kinds of error messages that this e-mail
won't make it out but I'm trusting it will or just my typing it will somehow
have you thinking of me.

Anyway, I'd appreciate your prayers against me becoming sick, especially
until this whole health insurance mess gets straightened out.  It's already
such a mess and without any insurance and only this short window (by 8
December) that I can get it or I'll be with no insurance, and big bills,
it's a frightening situation.

Thanks.

Paul
