Sleep Required

I haven’t been this thankful for a weekend in a very long time. I’ve started working more consistently, ie: everyday at 5:30 am. This has worn me out more than I anticipated. I thrive on a good ten hours sleep, I’m not kidding, but this is tricky to pull off so naps have become my lifeline.

I’m interested to see how my body handles the coming week when I’ll be going to work at 5 am and full-time training. I’m very excited about being full-time, but its all an adjustment.

The first of the week was emotional for me in coming off the weekend and other personal matters, but then I learned news in the middle of the week that I didn’t see coming.

I just read Jessica’s blog where she mentioned people have been looking for encouragement or people’s thoughts on the situation in blogs. I don’t know that I’m quite ready to post my feelings/thoughts online, and not sure I ever will. My mind has been a whirlwind of thoughts and emotions that I don’t quite know how to express. I will say that this week was a reminder that our sins don’t just affect us, but they also affect those around us more than we realize. I’ve also thought a lot about the verse in Proverbs that states, “A friend loves at all times, but a brother is born of adversity.” I’ll leave it at that for now.

If you are looking for encouragement regarding the situation, I do recommend Jessica’s blog. I completely agree with her. I’ll gladly discuss things with you in person, just not here.

Honestly, my brain and body are exhausted and almost numb at this point.

I’m looking forward to going swimming with Sheena today! Yay for pools!
