I Ponder Thusly

Hi people,

If anyone would like to check up on Steve's progress, goto ThisCaringBridgeLink. You may also sign the guestbook (leave a note for him - it will be read to him when he's awake). Pray for him!

I miss my handsome future husband. He's been hunting someplace far away for like four days.

At least my sister and I have been able to hang out. And, absence makes the heart grow fonder, of course. (As if that were even possible....)

A day off!

What is a day off for me anyway? A day off from...

• work?


• scheduled appointments?


• one job?


• one of two jobs?


• worries?


• fears?


• planning the day?


• sleeplessness?


• not eating breakfast?

The answers are D and I. D because "a day off" for me means a day off from one of two jobs. It also means I can have a day off from not eating breakfast, which means, I can be sure to eat breakfast today!

The answers are NOT E and F because worries and fears should not be a part of any day, so how can I have a day off from something that isn't supposed to ever be on?

Also, sleeplessness is not something that regularly occurs with me, thus even if I am getting sleep today, it doesn't mean I am getting a "day off" from sleeplessness, as there rarely is any sleeplessness.

The answer, number A, is a questionable one. I could say that I have a day off from work when I have a day off, but that would mean that only one of two of my jobs is work for me. I'd rather consider neither of them to be "work." The word "work" just seems...dark. Is anything that is done with joy ever going to be work for the person that does it?

I'm gettin weird now. Especially since I used bullets and not the letters that I was referring to in my list.
