Juxtaposed

My life, just at this moment, seems to be a bizarre juxtaposition of the completely surreal and the completely practical.

It seems my life has yet again been hijacked by Jesus. And that hijacking is resulting in some completely surreal experiences. (And a serious lack of sleep.)

On the other hand, there are some completely practical things consuming me as well.

Like the desperate need to do laundry (especially since I may be going away for the weekend again.)

Like the 125 dollars poorer I am after my laptop cable needed to be replaced tonight.

Like the library books that need to either be renewed or returned this week.

Like the recycling that needs to go to the bottle depot and is sitting in George's trunk just presently.

And a clogged bathtub drain. Does anyone know how to rectify a clogged bathtub drain without calling a plumber? Or, more practically yet, does anyone out there want to come over and fix my clogged bathtub drain for me (without calling a plumber??).

This is my juxtaposed, surreal, practical life (and despite the dozens of frustrations and wrestles in both of those categories, tonight I don't think I'd trade it.)
