Day 2
Today I have a headache. Not a bad one, but enough that I am listless and unfocused.
It's also difficult to deal with all the little things that are going through my head and running through the house. I feel cold- never good when I have a headache- and the house is cold, and I don't dare turn up the temperature. I can, however, light a candle, which will heat my room quite nicely. So, lavender candles are a good thing.
It seems like there is something I should do today, but for the life of me I cannot remember what it is. This is really not good. It's also not on my to-do list on Cozi, so that doesn't help either. And what really doesn't help is all the noise my mother makes when she's cleaning and/or listening to one of her books on CD at top volume. Or at least loud enough that I can hear it in my room with the door closed.
This is Tuesday, so there is centering prayer at 5:15. I'm going to go. It's an off-Tuesday for me- meaning I don't have Vestry or Worship Leader meetings at church, so I won't feel stressed going to prayer and then trying to make the other meeting and a meal before 7. I've spent a large part of the day trying to come up with a way I could go to a retreat this year- either here or in one of the numerous other places they are available. I have only limited funds, and I do want to make PPL convention in April, so it's important I start looking now and try to add a couple of things together to save money. For instance, if I go to Pennsylvania for a retreat, I could also go visit my new niece. If I wait until after convention to book the ticket, I could get a free ticket for that, as I'm really close to having one earned on Delta. And I need to get away right now. I need it very badly. Of course, getting away could mean just moving away from my parents- that would be a lovely retreat!
I've got schoolwork to do today- the downhill slide to my mock-graduation in May- and I need to write my darling incarcerated fiancee. And I need to go light that candle, before my toes feel any more like falling off.
