Rest & Recovery

I got this weird-funky sickness on Saturday, like a 10 hour flu or something.  After a whole lot of sleeping, yesterday I was back to almost-normal (though after two points on the Ultimate field I decided I shouldn't push myself anymore since my body's still recovering...), and today I might venture to say that I am fine.  However, lying in bed miserable and frustrated triggered several thoughts that have been floating around in my mind recently, including:

  • I need to take care of myself better.  Action item:  Eat breakfast, warm up before working out (hah...), actually try to sleep enough.
  • I cannot fake that my personal time with God has been sufficient.  Action item:  Take my quiet times on campus on the way back from work, before I even get home.  Did this today--it was wonderful.
  • Put fundraising back in perspective. aka--nothing in your life is so important that the world will collapse if you do not do it RIGHT NOW.  Action item:  Center my heart on scripture and stop treating fundraising like a term project I need to tackle. 
  • Rest, and do something about building it back into my schedule.  Tentative action item:  Friggin turn off my laptop at 11 pm already!  I'm not doing anything particularly significant by that time, and I could really use the time to unwind or read or...anything but get to 12:30 pm and think whoops-closealltabsitstimeforbed!
On to the rest of the evening!  PCF Lite-rs are coming over for hangout and games, and because I can't make brownies because I have baked potatoes in the oven, I whipped together some tuna dip to go with the saltine crackers Ken and Janine brought me on Saturday but I have little desire to finish now.

Speaking of baked potatoes, I should probably go eat them now so I'm not caught with the awkward oh-you-just-showed-up-well-let-me-finish-my-dinner...
