Tired

I think there is a good tired and a bad tired. Good tired is the tired that you get from having a busy but productive day. It's when you lay your head on the pillow and can sleep soundly because you feel good about what you got done. Tomorrow will be a fresh day where you can tackle new tasks. Bad tired is where you just pass out at the end of the day. Where you know that you may only get several hours (3-4) before you have to get up and do it all over again.



I just finished my last class this semester and I am tired. Exhausted really. I thought it would feel better than it did to be done, but I am just so worn out. This semester beat and battered me. It took al ot from me. I'm too tired to feel excited to be done. I don't feel like I have anything else to give, and alas we have to holiday season.



While I am thrilled to have some time off, thinking about the busyness of the holidays makes me more tired. I pray that time with family and friends will renew and refresh me. I pray that in three weeks I am able to pull my battered self together and start the spring semester

Garbage Men

I consider the trash men a great blessing. Once a week they come to my apartment complex and take all the smelly trash away and I don't really have to think about it. But this morning, they were outside my house at 6:30am! I've been sleeping with the windows open because it has been hot. At 6:30 AM I hear the beeping, and idling and dumping. I was so irritated! I was just thinking about why they needed to be doing that at 6:30 in the AM. And if they did need to do it at 6:30am why don't they invest in some quiet machinery?! But all in all I consider the garbage men a huge blessing!

Isn't this a cool birthday cake!
