Today was one such (rare) example. It even began with me waking up at 3:59 (what???), but persuading my body to return to sleep, then waking at 5:25 (the alarm was set for 5:45). While getting dressed, I finally (FINALLY) finished the French book. And was left with all sorts of contradictory reactions which I've noted so I can add to the discussion in September.
It was a pleasantly placid warm summer day. With summer on the wane, I wanted to celebrate my love of bright colours by adding my yellow/orange designer silk scarf. When I arrived at 9:20, I sat outside, enjoying the breeze as well as the soothing drone of the cicadas. Rev. Jeff's Lesson was all about Ritual Relaxation and involved choosing to not only partake of worship but also to be in community. After the service, I enjoyed chatting with loads of people and also begged Jan to bring me an order of Roast Quail from Taste of The Danforth. She'd originally offered to deliver it, but I said I was going home to collapse, so would accept the portion from her freezer next Sunday. I'm sure it'll still be yummy!
When I got in, I was already determined to reduce my stress over writing the review (and to actually follow Jeff's prescription). I managed to retain a lot of the service and was able to post at 4:00 p.m. Such a relief! I would have enjoyed a nap but didn't fall apart until the news, when I began to doze off. I finally roused around 8:00. I may stay up for a little while longer, guzzling some ice-cold water.
