Daily 5 - Year 2, Day 255

Today's Daily 5:
(an introduction to the Daily 5 can be found by clicking the link in the sidebar, on the left)
  1. Laughing at my slightly odd, very old eyedoctor, who has been exactly the same combination of slightly odd and seemingly old for all eighteen years I've been seeing him.  I swear he hasn't changed at all.
  2. a clean bill of health for my eyes for another year
  3. that the worst of today's snowstorm held off until I was indoors for the remainder of the day
  4. a banana with peanut butter
  5. pizza and conversation at house church
  6. emails from several friends over the last few days
  7. having friends who I can bounce ideas off of
  8. the good kind of sore feeling that comes the day after my first long yoga class in ages
  9. reading a fascinating book about a young woman who converted to Islam
  10. a long, hot bath

A Few More Days of Quiet

I'm in the hazy land of days immediately following the end of a semester.  The days where my brain refuses to form many conscious thoughts.

On Tuesday I completed my last two final exams.  I celebrated with a late evening dose of Macdonalds, my trashy "treat" comfort food of choice.

I spent Wednesday resting, watching mindless television, reading something other than textbooks, shopping for skinny jeans with my brother's girlfriend,  and attending a 90 minute yoga class for the first time in a couple weeks.

Today is starting with an appointment with my eye doctor, and then continuing in yesterday's pattern, and ending tonight with house church, where I'm teaching again.  I'm actually looking forward to that.

In the meantime, I'm still in the post school, can't quite form deep, reflective thoughts stage, so you'll have to forgive me if there are a few more days of quiet around this space.  I'll be back as soon as I've had a bit of rest.
