I woke up tired, had hardly slept. Pushed back the dreams that had taunted me all night. Faced the day. A memorial service I was leading. So many details to think through. So many words to carefully choose. It's noon. People packed in, the service began. Great stories were told. Laughter and tears mingled together. Two hours of sharing memories, expressing lament, professing hope.
Jon woke up tired, had hardly slept. Faced the day. It's noon. An intense job interview, asking hard questions. An hour and a half of questions. Afterwards, time of waiting...but not too long. And the job was offered.
Lunch was skipped by us both.
A celebration dinner. Butter chicken at a favorite Indian restaurant. A long talk about what the future might hold with this new job. A movie at home, snuggled on the couch.
Tired bodies to bed early.
And still I wake up tired today.

J'Lanne! I did not talk about Egyptians because we hadn't covered them in class and we were supposed to talk about what we had covered in class. I actually talked about ancient Rome and the overlap with the beginning of Christianity. It was very...interesting? I'm just glad it's over. Thanks for taking the time to give me suggestions!
I hope the dummy I practiced on didn't feel too much pain...Ms. Kelly is her name. She handled the procedure quite well!
mmm, butter chicken is amazing!
i'm sorry you're so tired too.
