It's Wednesday, the day of the week I have set aside to think my most brilliant thoughts in the three hour time span between eating dinner alone after work and the hazy buzz that settles in my mind around 10pm. I am writing this after midnight, so expect nothing brilliant and I guarantee you will not be disappointed.
I suck at taking a Sabbath, the glorious Saturday I read about in the Bible and regard as something only a few Messianic Jews I know get to do. And so Wednesday evenings, between 7 and 10, I don't schedule anything apart from eating and perhaps having a good thought or two to put down in a blog.
I've been sick for weeks in some form or another, and although the post-10pm haze seems to be there 24 hours at this point I have been forcing myself to function at highest capacity. And so I do things like start a prayer in a leadership meeting with "Father God, I feel silly" or write a song on the PayPerPost boards to entertain Posties into the wee hours.
So while I get frustrated with how difficult it has been to maintain my normal pace these past few weeks I'm thankful that I'm surrounded by people who have a sense of humor enough not to notice, or care.
Working on the cure for the pseudo-Sabbath… thinking I might try out the real thing this week. :)
