The second week of vacation was vastly different than the first week.  Mostly because, instead of going out adventuring every day and meeting students, I spent every day, save one, home sick with Angel Cat.  It was not a serious sickness, merely an annoying sickness, to use a friend’s helpful classification.  Between the headaches, body aches, dizziness and extreme tiredness, I watched Lost.  I finished five seasons of the show in a little over 2 weeks, just in time for the premiere of season 6.  But now I am a little sick of them all– the Lost characters, I mean.

Thankfully, I recovered enough to spend yesterday with some dear friends.  It was a day of  challenging conversations,  good food, shared laughter, and faster internet.  I returned home way too late last night but very thankful for His grace being displayed to me through the patience and kindness and love and growth of others.  Then I stayed up WAY too late thinking and suffering from a caffeine overdose.  For the first time in such a long time, I didn’t fall asleep until 4 a.m.    This  caused a bit of a flu (or whatever) relapse today, coupled with the fact that my cat still thinks I need to be up early no matter when I went to bed.  So, I sit here, blogging like a goofball at 9 p.m.  in my pajamas with a headache.

I’m really blessed.
