This evening I am feeling somewhat under the weather, so I won’t be able to write much. Simple gratitudes: first that I didn’t go to weekly meditation this evening. Though I felt alright earlier, I would’ve gotten sick right in the middle of it and would have had to drive myself the 15 miles home from Oakland. That would not have been good. In a similar vein, I’m grateful and relieved to not have to pick Jared up from work this evening. When I let him know I wasn’t feeling well, he said he could find a ride home. That means I can put myself to bed early.
I am grateful that Michal has safely arrived home for the holidays. She worked hard, had a really good semester, and is now ready for some serious holiday chilling out time. It’ll be nice having her around for a few days before and after holiday travel time. She and Jared and I will probably trek out sometime this weekend to do something fun together.
This has been quite a week–the mechanical bull has whipped around a bit, but for the most part I’ve managed to keep my seat and not go flying. I’d like to pick up a little more energy this weekend and coming week as we hurtle toward Christmas day (or as it hurtles toward us). For tonight, however, the energy is sapped so I will sign off hoping for a better overall day tomorrow. Let it be so!
