Tired

I was feeling better yesterday, almost like back in the land of the living, but today not so much. I think I'm just too tired. There's a confluence of events --

• essentially not sleeping for 30-some hours the weekend of the protest (counting from when I got up Saturday morning to get ready to go),
  
• not sleeping at all well since then (massively active anxiety dreams about protests and my affinity group folks -- going to one, coming from one, preparing for one -- and one guy from school who, as my counselor helps me to say, I experience as a total jerk who has been less than supportive publicly about all this, all of which means I wake up annoyed, distressed, and exhausted), and
• a baseball playoff schedule thought up by insane people. I mean really, if I am in the same town as a team, why are they finishing at midnight? Does this schedule benefit anyone???

So, yeah. As a little pick-me-up before bedtime let me list a few things I'm thankful for.

• My cielo who is a fierce mama bear and loving caretaker.
• My affinity group folks who are so strong and courageous and inspire me.
• My counselor, who Totally. Rocks.
• The Rockies are going to the World Series!
• Fall weather, trees changing, crisp breezes.
• Somehow I did great on two quizzes this week that my brain was not quite ready for.
• My folks who are so supportive.
• Friends who love me.
• Coffee dates with TheologyBabe.
• HappyChurch -- my "support committee" for my internship graciously agreed to help me with one of my learning goals: to learn to trust a healthy church!
• The kitties snuggling up in bed.
• Our comfy bed with the new lavender sheets we bought as a treat.

Hmm...speaking of bed...

Peace, y'all --
