Nothin' at all

I like lazy Sundays... it's so contrasting to the rest of my week: with everything structured, nearly every moment accounted for and every second being generally productive, be it in community or ministry life.

Today... Couldn't sleep until very late, so slept until about 11:00, then got up and promptly hit the road for a walk-run up our "mountain". I knew I needed it, as it'd been a non-exercise week due to sickness.

It was hot. I sweated. A lot. It was good. Cleansing.

Walked further down into the beginning of our village, then back up.

Sat around and talked. A lot.

Sat around and talked. Some more.

Ate granola. Made tea.

Had some Word time.

Ate more granola. (Oh, Mari! You make my tummee so happee!)

Cleaned my room.

Cleaned everything else in my room.

Cleaned my room some more.

Had more Word time.

Puttered around. Entertained Shobarrree at some point.

Hik just came up to bug me (along with Shobarrree, of course, who needed more entertainment, no doubt. I think I over-stimulate children with all the excitement and entertainment that pours out of my, er, personality -- this can be a problem. Think about it.)

So, the evening should be pretty non-eventful -- will see...

Someone just turned on some really loud music. I think it was Shelah -- everything from her room comes into mine. :) It's Julie Greeneyes.

I read something about sleep -- I always read everything about sleep. I've tried everything sleep-related, too. Hrm... It said you should keep a journal and write in it -- about 2-3 hours before going to sleep -- about your day, to empty your mind, so you don't lie in bed thinking about things. Seeing as it's my overactive mind that is the source of my sleep problems -- that is, when I'm exercising sufficiently, not having caffeinated drinks too late, etc., and I still can't sleep -- this could very possibly be the cure. Well, at least it's something to try that I haven't tried before. :)

The problem is, I would never have enough time to fill a journal with all the things that go through my head. Besides, I think of things, don't get them out, forget about them, and then they happily resurface when I'm lying in bed doing nothing -- there's no way I could remember everything during "journal time", no matter how long it may be. Well, no use putting down the idea before having tried it...

I've been pretty vocal and opinionated this week. Some biological reasons for that, but that aside... yeah, just one of those weeks. Next week should be a little calmer in my heart, mind and attitudes, heh. That's the usual cycle.--And good Word time always helps. :)
