some rambling

So as you all have noticed I haven't been writing much lately. I can't explain it. I loved blogging and I still sort of do. And I know you regular readers also enjoy reading my stuff. But I just haven't had much energy to sit down and write anything. So I'll not make any promises to do better. I will continue posting my sermons each Sunday. And I'll post as often as I have energy until I have the energy to do more.

I don't have a lot of energy today. I almost passed out at the end of my pilates/yoga class today. That has never happened before. I think I got too hot. It was really hot in there today. And then they tried to give me orange juice because they thought it was a low blood sugar thing--they thought this largely because my hands were shaking. But my hands shake a lot so I think it was unrelated but I was too out of it to explain to them about my little benign tremor, or as some of you say my parkinsons disease or my palsy. So I drank the orange juice. It was good orange juice--he clearly buys that fresh stuff not the Tropicana Pure Premium that I buy. But then when I was able to walk without thinking I was going to fall over I walked home, drank some water and took a nap. And then I have just been a little groggy all day. This afternoon I went to McDonald's and bought a Sweet Tea. It is my newest obsession. It's a little bit of home and it is sugar and cafeine and it is cold. I prefer a cold drink over a hot drink. But the problem with the McDonald's sweet tea is that it doesn't always taste quite right. Today it tasted a little like coffee grounds. Which doesn't make any sense, but it was a little gross. I never drink a whole cup so the rest of it is in the refrigerator--I think I'm hoping that the next time I drink some it wont taste like coffee grinds.

I also have been just dragging a bit the last week. I'm having some sinus/drainage issue. I wake up in the middle of the night with a dry mouth. I mean dry--lips stuck to my teeth. And I wake up every hour or so after that to drink water and put on chapstick. And then last week was an emotionally draining week with Barack Obama winning and then Proposition 8 being passed. So while I would have liked to celebrate the civil rights milestone for one group I was too overwhelmed by the pain of being denied one of my own civil rights. Hard week.

So all in all I'm just a bit out of sorts. And now I've shared it with all of you. Hope you are doing better.

Peace out!
