(no subject)
this morning, i woke up early early (well, for a Saturday anyways) and the Fitts picked me up (not that any of them will see this, but thankyouthankyouthankyou again!!!!) and i went to Cathedral for morning prayer with the Bishop. (and Msgr. Caron and Msgr. Stefanko). Oh my gosh, it was beautiful! I talked to Mrs. Fitts about it last nite and I think that her description of it was right on. She said it was "like a mini-retreat!" The choir sang and stuff and it was just a beautiful beautiful way to start off the day - Divine Office with the Bishop. How often does THAT happen!?!?!?!?
then, john and i went and got some breakfast. we went to Wild Oats and just got an Odwalla smoothie each. We drank it outside on the patio (haha after cleaning the snow off the chairs!) and just talked for maybe like two hours. it was really really fun. he's a fun kid! :-)
i came home and napped for maybe an hour and a half (cos remember, i hadn't slept thursday nite? haha) then i went climbing with Sam Burns! It was fun. There was a 5.8 that just went up the other day that was really hard for me because there were no starting holds for your feet! I had climbed it in two pieces the other day. Today, I climbed it in one!!!! That was soo exciting! Then there was a 5.9 i tried the other day but it was too late in the day for me to start working on it, i think. I kept falling in the same place. but, i climbed it today! well - i climbed it in two pieces. but hey - i still got to the top! it was really exciting. i'll see if i can get it in one clean swoop next time. i'm still working on that stupid 5.9 i've been working on for like a week and a half. ...or two. haha. i think i have a mental block. i fall off at the same place every single time. with maybe like four holds left. oh well. :-) i'll climb it eventually!
haha so my psychiatrist who i see for OCD ordered some blood work to be done for me yesterday because i'm bruising so easily and so much lately. but where the flobotomist took the blood from there is a bruise. that just made me laugh a little bit. hopefully all the bloodwork comes out alright becaaaause i would not so much fancy having to ween myself off of my medication and start over. i really like the stuff i'm taking. other than the bruising, there's really minimal side effects. and my appetite is finally back. so it's really just the bruising!
okay, that's my story. that was a little longer than i had anticipated it to be, but that's okay!! be well! God's blessings!
peace & love in Christ,
