One weird night

It's cold here, quiet too. I'm housemateless at the moment and even though the girls would generally be asleep at this time of night I feel gloriously alone. No fears of waking the girls up or scaring Esther witless when she stumble out of her room for the toilet to find me pottering around the house.

I thought another update was in order seeing as I've been a bit scarce lately. My role as a teacher has consumed much of my time the last few weeks... 'someone' actually called me a workaholic the other day. It made me laugh as it's the last thing I ever thought I'd be accused of seeing as I'm a couch potato from way back.

But really, I'm ok with that status for now as long as it comes full circle at some stage. I've always said that it's a pity I can't be addicted to something useful like exercise or servanthood. Working hard at being the best teacher I can be has got to be better than food or 'chat' addictions. I'm sure it's just a season and the intensity will 'wear off' in time, but I so relate to what you were saying in your latest post Sam. While I work as unto the Lord I know He and I work together but I'm very aware that my friends and my church are important as is living in a state of balance. In the long term, balance is always a healthier place to be.

For those up for it I've just posted on my 'work' blog so you can catch up on all my news there. If you're wondering what I'm doing posting at 3am... I went to the physio yesterday about my 'mouse' arm (I tell the truth, I have damaged the muscles in my right forearm from excessive mouse clicking) and came out with spots in my eyes. The migraine followed and after 5 hours of sleep (no chunder much to my disappointment!) I woke up at 10.30pm and decided to start my evening then. I've watched a movie in bed on my ipod, made some tea and spent a few hours... guess where?!

Bed time now though, so signing out. Many blessings!
