Lent - day three . . .

How's your Lenten project going? Surprisingly, I am still working on mine. Already I have discovered things about myself. Like, I am not used to self-directing my own activities. When the screens (TV & computer) are on, I just stop by and take a break, can even do both at the same time. Now that I have the whole morning to myself and can choose what to do, in which order, and how much I am willing to get done before turning the screens on at 1 PM, I get tired, seriously I get really tired early in the day and take breaks to read or just rest. Its embarrassing. I've been so tired the past three days that I do little, go to bed early, and get up late. Can't answer any emails as I just dont' have the energy to create structured paragraphs for anyone to read. Can't play hearts for very long, which is a good thing, could be time to put that away for a while. No solitaire, either.

This morning I decided that I needed to go for groceries, tomorrow is Ch'ng Li's birthday and I want a treat for her breakfast; also there are some good prices on things I need to get in. The clerks checking me out at the two stores I went to were really pleasant and seemed to want to chat. I'd had a shower, put on a touch of make up, a pretty T-neck, pulled my hair back from my face and earrings, and real shoes. Even tho I wasn't trying to create this look, did it have anything to do with it?

I bought some chicken and salmon that needed to be cooked so I could freeze them. Time to turn on the TV and eat something while I let the food roast. It was time to rest but not as bad as it had been the last couple of days. Now that I am trying to write this I feel sluggish and unable to concentrate. Tonight I'm thinking of a lamb burger for dinner, lets see if I have the energy to actually do more than a cheese sandwich. Its Friday so I still like to just kick back and hang out in front of the set with a fun-food.
