I’m finally getting over this blasted sinus infection. I probably would have been over it sooner if I’d actually called my P.A. and gotten antibiotics instead of being balled up under the covers moaning when Jon got home on Wednesday from the football game. I’m also hyper-reactive to the decongestant prescribed as well so I had to refuse it at the pharmacy and am having to go with natural methods (nasal washes, hot showers,…)

Yesterday, I slept probably 14 hours almost straight — a sign that my body is fighting off something nasty. Because of this, my sleep schedule is off and my activity schedule is skewed. There is laundry that needs to be sorted and folded (it’s actually exploding out of laundry baskets). There are clothes that need to be washed. There are leaves that need to be raked. There is curriculum that needs to be written. I need to be job-hunting. My study needs to be unpacked (and should have been months ago). The problem: my energy level is so low from sleeping and fighting off this bug. I also want to go for a walk, darn it!

I’m also feeling spiritually restless. I’m doing my morning devotional reading and praying at night. There’s a part of me that wishes that I was having profound theological thoughts or coming up with brilliantly meditative entries. There’s a part of me that would post any spiritual thought that comes, but so much of that is still very personal to me and I don’t want just anyone to read my spiritual musings. (I know… I’ve been blogging for four years and I’m still leery of people reading my personal thoughts.) I’m not as able to be transparent as I used to be, partly because I guess I’m more self-conscious of what people think of me. This is not really a good thing because blogging is frequently how I work out all the mush in my head and make it into something cohesive that I can express. Walking has been one of those times lately but I’m walking less and less these days as life gets crazier and the weather gets yuckier. (With my asthma, I can’t walk if it’s below a certain temperature.)

OK… ending now to take my antibiotics and work on some email or curriculum or something…
