Big test in the morning. No, really, it’s a huge test. It’s five hours long with only two five-minute breaks. Fortunately, I’m not menstruating or anything… oh, wait… I am menstruating. How inconvenient… ugh. This test!
Ugh.
God, help me to fulfill your will with confidence and clarity, please. Amen.
Post-a-day 2022
It is cold, and I feel it. From the air conditioner, not from outside. I go back and forth between shivering and being slightly miserable without shaking. There was no blanket down here for me to use, let alone a comforter. I found a throw upstairs, but it isn’t very heavy/warm. I likely will have to sleep fully clothed tonight.
And then some.
Glad I brought the thick wool socks for possible hiking (which almost definitely will not happen).
I am also very tired, and also sleepy, increasing, I believe, my sense of annoyance and stress.
Dear God, please help me sleep well tonight and awaken rested and comfortable tomorrow and the next day.
Especially considering that my body decided today was finally the day to start menstruating… what impeccably terrible timing. I think it is aiming to make a point, and I might be understanding that point: I need to take care of myself, no matter what others do or want to do.
And now, to dress and to sleep.
Post-a-day 2021
Today, I went to work out, even bough I really didn’t feel like it…
Starting in the middle of the warm-up, I felt like puking, but I took it easy and did the whole work-out, anyway…
I rested consciously immediately afterward, and ate two snack/protein bars to take care of myself…
Immediately after that, after I bicycled back, I didn’t want to put forth the effort, but I rearranged my plans a bit so that I could make myself an appropriate dinner and snacks for attending the show at Miller Outdoor Theatre tonight… to which I walked the two and a half miles with my friend’s dog…
Everything seems to be a bit achey going to bed right now, but I can tell I did a good job with taking care of myself today, all while staying in alignment with what I want for myself and my body and my health in the now and in the near future…
So, even though it looked way different from how taking care of myself usually looks (i.e. resting and relaxing), I took care of myself today, and on many levels.
I very well could have canceled all of it and stayed home, watching movies and resting and eating easy food, and avoiding interacting with unknown scenarios…, but I didn’t, and that’s the point.
So, I thank you, God and Universe and All, for giving me the encouragement I needed today to take care of myself in the right kind of way that I needed and wanted for today. 🙂
