revamp

Funny the unexpected twists and turns that a day can bring. Nothing major, but the day really didn't go at all as I had planned it.

The first twist was when a friend from across town called, sick. She was wondering if we were coming her way at all today, and if we could pick up some groceries for her from the super market if we were. Well, we weren't going to be in her area until evening, so I just went and got the things and made a special trip over to give them to her. It really wasn't a great sacrifice; she has helped us out many a time.

But it did take a chunk of time out of the morning, which I had planned to use for a few other small errands. Mr. and I had also agreed to an early lunch, so that I could go to a coffee shop and spend my half day with God, and then get to a 6:00 meeting.

By the time I got back from my friend's house it was almost time for lunch. Then, after lunch I tried to work out how I could get my remaining errands done, have my time with God, and still be ready for the meeting. But as I was contemplating it all a sense of weariness crept over me.

And so I decided to chuck the whole plan and took a nap. Then I ran my remaining errands, and spent a few hours studying at home. That way I was able prepare for the evening meeting in a graceful, unhurried way.

I think God understands. I will get with Him bright and early tomorrow morning for half a day—hopefully more awake and alert than I was today. I want to approach our time together with a sharp, clear mind.

I guess I'll ask Him for that as I go to bed tonight. Although I have been sleeping better in the last week or so, I have still been waking up feeling simply exhausted. I have no idea why, but it's getting old. I remember once upon a time when I had boundless energy, or so it seemed.

Someone who still has a bit too much energy tonight is the little kitty. She hasn't been played with properly this evening, and so she is being a bit naughty in her friskiness. I'll need to wear her out a little bit when I get done with this post. Well, you know—it's a rough job, but somebody has to do it. ;-)
