The Most Tired I Can Remember
I haven't felt exhaustion like this in a very long time. I'm so incredibly tired.
I woke up in Coeur d 'Alene this morning at 8 AM after a 2:30 AM bedtime. I did yoga and hiked a mountain with Sue. I needed coffee to get through it, but enjoyed every second with her and our day together.
I drove the 45 minute trip home, got ready, and went to church. There, my best friends from high school were waiting for me. The fact that we were all worshipping together under one roof with changed hearts is an absolute miracle. I am so happy I got to see this day.
After service, Mommy and Dan took me to P.F. Changs and had a nummy dinner. I'd never eaten there before and I'm definitely going back. I'm crazy about the food and even crazier about these two beautiful people.
I've never had to take a power nap before writing a blog post before. But when I got home at 1:30 AM, I had no choice. It didn't help though. I can still barely keep my eyes open, my brain focused, or my heart steady. Jacob (my brother) asked if I'd go have a drink with him tonight. Reluctantly, I said yes. I don't really prefer going out - especially on a Sunday - but Jacob does, and I was willing to do whatever it took to spend some quality time with him. It's been a long time coming. I can't remember the last time I got that deep into a conversation with Jacob, and 4 hours later, I'm completely exhausted. He's been through so much in his 26 years. He's a strong and intelligent man with a lot on his plate, and if there's anything I could ever do for him, it's just to be there. To listen. To talk. And to remind him just how much I love him. Just how much we all love him.
