J-E-L-L-O

Deprived of my sweet eight hours of sleep, I came into an 8am meeting with dreary eyes and a hideous outfit. I was already tired even as I awoke to my own sluggish reaction to my alarm. With most of the household still in dreamland, I reluctantly forced my body to prepare for another week of routine and work. Though my body preferred to remain in bed, just a few minutes into the morning I was thanking and praising the Lord for yet another b-e-a-U-tiful day so late into this month of October. I absolutely enjoy waking up to feeling the Lord's presence and peace in life. Of course many times I am caught up with my own selfish life and thus miss out on having that serenity in this anomic society. So I trotted into work looking ridiculously exhausted with a silly grin naturally plastered onto my face. Sometimes I wonder why I have to go to meetings that have nothing to do with me and my role; sometimes being like today. My boss and I laughed again for about 15 minutes straight after the meeting and before getting to our morning tasks. We really do crack each other up! All in all, this Monday morning started off smoothly, except that all I could think of was taking a nap after lunch in my car. So I did, but now I feel like my eyes weigh a hundred pounds... I even tried to only do a "power 20" so I would have a quick boost of energy... nope, that failed. Now all I am looking forward to is my afternoon snack, J-E-L-L-O.
