All in all it's been a very pleasant weekend and i'm probably more rested than i know. I've "checked out" for much of the weekend, which i don't like doing but i'm not sure i can ... prevent?
I think this is how i *know* how to keep myself from being overwhelmed with "to-do's" although it seems to keep me from connecting to what i did do...
Lovely dinner & beach walk Friday
Good Saturday morning thinking
[blank? Oh, watched the dying DVD and inventoried the dyeables]
Puttered a teensy bit in the garden
[blank? Oh, we watched "Blue Murder," a British drama*]
Long soaking bath -- now that the hot water is back after weeks -- and reading A.D. 381**
Half a symphonic concert
Left for home with subdued Christine -- she had a bad music school flashback -- and there was weirdly tense chit chat with my boss and his wife at the intermission
Late night groceries
Several episodes of Bones
....sleep....
Morning prep for the care committee, the library committee... something else? Oh, chatted with my over-caffeinated sister... or was the chat on Saturday?
Picked up DE
Library committee, which went well
Worship (i was not centered, but thought about dyeing)
Two hours of shopping with DE -- pet depot and costco
Late lunch & connecting with Christine
Read the latest Pendle Hill Pamphlet on Meeting for Business***
puttered with laptop
two hours of Dr Who (Christmas Special 2008 "The Next Doctor" and "Planet of the Dead")
putter, sit on the deck and write the list
dinner and more video, "Dangerous Minds"
Making the list helps me ground a little, feel a little more connected with myself.
Monday. Oh, my.
* "Blue Murder" " DCI Janine Lewis: Janine juggles the responsibility of raising four children alone with her commitment to leading her team in solving high-profile murders. Has a knack of getting to the heart of the matter" It's a little intense in the first episode in setting up the boss as a sexist and giving the full sense of the challenge of a recently separated career mother. But it's a stressful balancing act i really don't need watch.
** A.D. 381 is a fascinating history of how the Roman Emperors shifted the nature of Christianity
and closed down free religious thought, between Constantine and Theodosius, with particular attention to how the debates over the nature of the triune godhead were settled by Theodosius' edict.
*** "The Mind of Christ: Bill Taber on Meeting for Business " #406 The enthusiasm with he writes of Meeting for Business reaches straight to the Greek root of the word, enthous ‘possessed by a god, inspired.’ I was delighted by the brief pamphlet, and should probably buy my own copy to make notes in.
