letdown

I was so sure we were going to get a snow day... or at least a two-hour delay. Nothing. I was miffed this morning (and still am a little... can you tell?) But, I got an excellent workout out of my self-generated hype as I mentioned before.

The Chief has been sick, and I've been cranky with her. It's just that all her drama and loud breathing are getting to me. And, she sends me out multiple times to get a single item. I told her last night before I went on a hamburger mission-- Is there anything else? Then I listed about twenty things I thought she might want or need. She wanted rainbow sherbert to soothe her throat. So, I saved myself an extra trip.

I'm going to skip my writing class because I think I'm coming down with what the Chief has. Dayquil can only stave it off for so long.

My students were far better behaved today. I can't pinpoint what was different: it has to be a mixture of them and me. But, I didn't argue-- instead, I was a broken record, which is far more effective with this age group.

As for the Daniel Fast, 2 of 6 weeks have been completed. I've lost 8.2 lbs. I'm praying more regularly-- I've set aside ten minutes of my commute each way, and inevitably I pray more or get side tracked. And, I'm more in tune/aware of my physical, mental and spiritual goings on. It's not as if I've stopped sinning or become holy, but it's as if I can see sin for what it is. How I'm eating is affecting how I'm sleeping, my running, my energy level (all for the better). I'm feeling how integrated my body is. Although I had a really emotionally rough night last night-- overall, life feels more manageable. Perhaps, it's because of the discipline being applied in one area.
Anyway, I'm a big fan of this fast.
