Ok, so you know those 10 year plans? I had one…still have one but the first year has suddenly been put in a huge twisted noodle shaped abstract -in your face- don’t back down now kind of blob. But we adapt and overcome and that is exactly what I shall do…adapt and overcome…and lay everything back into God’s hands where it belongs.
Day 26 - your week, in great detail
What a week for this daily post to be about. No, really it is on the edge of your seat fantastic! And in detail? Phish…my days are so awesome you couldn’t handle the details!
Sunday: I woke up at 4:30...a.m. that was 3:30 a.m. the old time. Spring Forward came in with a force and my week wasn’t the same afterwards. I couldn’t go back to sleep so I turned on my laptop and watched some movies and finally fell asleep at around 7:30 only to miss my alarm and not get up in time to drive down to church (a hour away) so I decided to go to another church in the valley that I have been too when I can’t go to my “regular” church. I was excited about it but then I got to church and 45 minutes later walked out because the Pastor felt that the Lord had spoken enough from the music and the testimonies that we didn’t need preaching. It was odd. So in a little bit of a funk I went grocery shopping and decided to have a cranberry and roasted chicken salad for lunch, which was delicious, and settled in to read. I am currently in love with the Book of Job. That book can preach! Most people read a Proverb a day but if you ever think you have had a bad day…read Job. The rest of the day was literally wasted on being lazy though I did listen to a sermon online so I could get some preaching for the day.
Monday: Spring Forward continued to bring its vicious wrath upon my life and usually I am at work around 8:10-15 but I didn’t get to work until around 8:30 or :45. I couldn’t wake up! Then all day I had to work to stay focused and I made a couple of mistakes. By the time I went home at 5 I was mentally exhausted from just trying to keep focused that I went home and curled up and slept until I met my friend Stefania at the gym for our workout. I needed it but I was still so tired I crashed when I got home. (Like I said…so exciting)
Tuesday: So much more of the same. Really. My life sometimes has these lags in it that I don’t do anything and then sometimes I don’t have time to really breathe (I like those times better). The weather was beautiful though so instead of going to gym Stefania and I went to the river parkway to walk. We had agreed to meet at a certain time because she has some things to do that evening and I was at the parking lot a little earlier. I had left my phone at home to charge because I had planned on doing other things that evening and needed it for those. I waited and waited and then remembered there were TWO parking lots and I might be at the wrong one so I drove over to the other lot and saw her car but couldn’t find her. I jogged a little bit and finally caught up with her as she was coming back. We finished the walk and really enjoyed the weather. There is this really great place here that has these amazing baked chips served with mango salsa so we went there and enjoyed dinner while I totally forgot everything else that I was going to do. When I got home I remembered some books that were due and went to the library and picked up some movies and books then came home and fell asleep while reading. So much fun is my life.
Wednesday: Really nothing much to report…except that I worked myself hard at the gym and felt it the next day. I did talk to my friend and fellow blogger about a mini happening in her life but it was funny because I was having that same mini thing happening in mine as well! Both of us are generally ok with the whole being single thing…but for some reason at the same time during the same week we both had that, aw, I wanna be married thing. Believe me…we are both over it….for now! LOVE YOU GIRL!
Thursday: HAPPY ST. PATTY’S DAY! I wore my green! It is so funny what random things I do but even my car had some St. Patty’s day bling on! I had some plastic beaded necklaces in my glove box and I hung them from the rear view mirror. The three of us in the office had a mini potluck with corned beef, potatoes, and sourdough bread and lot’s of chocolate for dessert. (We have a drawer of chocolate in the office…yes, a drawer!) After eating all the yumminess I had to go to the gym but because the weather was so nice again we went for a walk instead. Amazing. Afterwards, in honor of the day, I had a Shamrock shake from McD’s. It’s so fluffy I could die! Lol I went to the post office, and back to the library then went to a late dinner with some friends for an Irish(ish) meal. The walk did me no good that day!
Friday: OH WHAT A DAY! It went really well. I was not feeling well from some health issues that arise every couple months or so but I managed to pull myself together and put in a full days work. I had received an email from Pastor back in MD asking if I would call when I could. So when I got home I did give him a call. Life can change you know. Like in an instant craziness can happen in such a way that it is all you think about. I hadn’t made any plans for the evening so I was just thinking and praying and reading and dozing when my friend, The Gnome, text and asked if I wanted to hang out. It at least took my mind off everything for a little bit…so thank Gnome!
Saturday: Today I have done nothing. Really nothing but slept and read and prayed and slept and read and prayed. Something about not sleeping well for almost a week just makes you want to sleep so that is what I did. I have slept. I was supposed to go to dinner with a friend but that didn’t happen so I made a variation of something I tried in a restaurant once. Caramelized broiled bananas. These are super easy!!! Slice a banana lengthwise, crisscross with a little maple syrup and sprinkle with brown sugar. Put under the broiler for 2-3 minutes and serve with whipped cream. D*E*V*I*N*E! It is a little sweet but oh so yummy. After all that goodness I decided that since I had fallen behind on blogging that I would write this post…not realizing that it was a week in review. But here it is…my week, in some sort of detail!
