Last Monday I started a seven-day fast (the beginning of a no-such-thing-as-coincidence week)
Last Tuesday I was rear-ended by a way-too-huge-pick-up-truck
while driving home from the ... wait for it
--chiropractor!
Last Thursday I was laid off...
Last Friday my computer wouldn't work
what the...
On that Tuesday I cried
On that Thursday I cried harder
On that Friday I got up and had me some "retail therapy," lots of media therapy with a couple of chick flicks thrown in - not just one mind you, but an old Doris Day/James Garner, Norb would say shoot me first, kind of movie AND Notting Hill -Thank you very much! In the middle of the blasted day mind you.
Today it's the next Friday ...
Slowly my body is recovering from feeling like it's been hit by a truck - pun intended
I got my computer to work - 1st world problems
The fast is long over ... it was good, it was right, it was necessary ... the praying that goes with the fasting hasn't even paused.
This week (should I say it) has been harder.
I've written a couple of other blog posts in the middle of this harder. But they're not the kind I can actually post right now. Maybe some day. Posting them now would make us another reality show ... no thank you. With my body having been pummeled by a truck and my self-esteem being trounced on by a lay-off ... that's what I call a bad week. That's enough bad week right now. Anyway, Netflix is calling me.
