Long Day

It was a very long day.

Very full.

Some very hard things. Some very good things.

Moments that were definitely explosive at work. Just glad when that was over.

I'm going to bed.

I'll start again tomorrow.

Sleep and Aramaic

Here are two news stories that caught my attention this morning.

According to this article, I should be sleeping beautifully. I'm female, single, childless, and am definitely in one of their lower income brackets. Somehow I don't think that the 3-5 hours of sleep I average a night is their definition of sleeping well.

And, in this article, you can read about the fact that Aramaic, the language of Jesus is still spoken in a small village in Syria. Fascinating stuff, really.

I Am...

I am...

• not having as productive a day as I had yesterday
• working on silencing the catty "inner voice" comments about various office happenings, which make me laugh, but are probably unneccessarily cruel
• photocopying and assembling training manuals
• essentially getting paid to kill trees on Earth Day
• incessantly thirsty lately
• annoyed and frustrated by the ongoing winter conditions - it's nearly the end of April!
• so glad to have a massage scheduled for later this week.
• wearing a minimum of two layers on all parts of my body
• very tired
• nibbling on grapes and crackers, and hoping my stomach will keep them down (it hasn't kept much down lately)
• loving the reminders of joy that this photo of myself is bringing, in the midst of some dark spaces

• in desperate need of spring
