hermit

Well, what's the best way to deal with a broken world when it's overwhelming you? Just stay in. Which is pretty much what I did today. I only went out for meals, which I haven't been planning at home much this week. Mr. went out a few other times, but as for me, I just hung about the house all day.

Not that it wasn't a productive day. I had some devotions and did my exercises. This is the third week of the "six days shalt thou exercise" plan. Today was day 5 for the week. Tomorrow is easy; just a half an hour of yoga. I'm almost looking forward to it. Lots of stretching with a bit of core work thrown in. It's the most basic beginner level, but I'm having trouble with that stork pose. You know, when you stand on one leg with the other tucked up against your thigh. I won't let myself move on until I can get through that part without falling over.

Then I made pancakes for breakfast. It was nice, but I was thinking, I'm working so hard on the exercise. I need to start paying more attention to what I eat. Hmmm. Bummer. They tasted really good.

Anyway, the rest of the morning I answered e-mails and started on the final paper needed to complete the on-line class I have been taking. It's due tomorrow, but I'm going to post it tonight. It was fun to write, because I could use my imagination. It was about the millennial kingdom, so it left lots of room for creativity. It really came together easily. I guess I have been thinking about it for weeks, kind of letting things ferment. In the end I let Mr. read it over, for theological accuracy. He said it was good. :-)

Lunch, a brief nap, checking over the paper once more for spelling and grammar. Good to go. Then I spent a few hours working on a design project. Two organizations are working together on a project and they want me to somehow merge the two logos together. Challenging. I hope to have something for them to look at by Monday.

Out for supper. I told Mr. I was just kind of ill at ease inside. Sort of grumpy, feeling like something was missing, but not sure what it was. Then my draft beer came. I took one swig and it was so cold and refreshing. Ahhh. I told Mr. that might have been what was missing. Mr. laughed and said, when in doubt, an alcoholic beverage usually helps. ;-) He makes me laugh, and that's a good thing.

So, yeah. I stayed in most of the day. I am struggling a bit with emotions today. My goal was just to get through it with niceness intact. I was 90% successful, I think.

I guess it isn't bad to be a hermit for a day now and then. It's just when it becomes a habit that it can be a problem. Anyway, not a bad day.
