Quick story. On our vacation, my friend—the mom of the 13 year old—told her son to put on sun screen. Looking at the cloudy sky, he explained that he didn't need to, because the sky was outcast. HA!
Outcast or overcast, both might work to describe my frame of mind today. I feel like I've just been muddling through under a cloud of something today. Hard to be motivated, hard to sort things out in my head, hard to feel particularly enthused about anything.
I've also had a slight headache all day.
I know, it probably has a lot to do with certain hormonal factors. But that doesn't change the fact that it stinks.
Nonetheless, I slogged forward a bit, not accomplishing as much as I hoped, but getting more done than I felt like doing.
Had some time together with friends this evening for prayer. Encouraging. I think there's a real heaviness hanging over us all right now.
Probably has something to do with spiritual factors, as well. Tomorrow is the start of a big holiday here, and it is always accompanied with renewed fervor in offerings to idols, shrines, and dead ancestors. Which, of course, are all offerings to demons.
Just like me, you know, to only think of the spiritual influences as an afterthought. It's very likely a big cause of how we're all feeling, actually.
So, when we got back this evening from our friends' house, the cat was having a ball flipping around the dead carcass of a little wall lizard. Her first actual kill that we know of. She was SO proud, and incredibly stoked by her first taste of carnage. She zipped around the house, bouncing off of things, and re-pouncing on her now limp and lifeless prey. She actually had to stop and rest a few times, panting like a dog, her tongue hanging out.
