“Dear Sleep, I’m sorry we broke up this morning. I want you back.”
–unknown
I woke up at 3:15 AM to the sound of my husband’s lovely dreaming. After tossing and turning for an hour I decided it was better to get up and work than to lay there sleepless. 😴 💤 😑
Now I’m paying for it, of course… It’s been 12 hours almost to the minute since I first woke up. 😳
Technically, I’m not working. I’ve been helping out at the church, typing Employee Handbook and other documents for review. It’s been great to do ministry without the stress of actually working. I can say yes, or I can say no. I can do a little work or I can go to the beach and put my feet in the water. I can sit at Panera without the stress of meetings with learners or faculty at work. It has been so nice not having to work with all my scans, treatments, doctors visits, and wonderful travel to get there.
I’m not sure what will happen at the end of the term. Will I go back, or will I stay off…? “Early retirement” sure sounds good right now. 😊
We have a few weeks to decide whether I can handle it. 🥱 Now pardon me while I go take a nap…
Á la prochaine…until next time!
