< class title="e-mail" >
I was going to just feed you guys some song lyrics or a quote or such, but I just wrote this e-mail to a dear friend down in Sydney and figure it'll do fine as an update here, too ;)
Hey Channah,
I love getting your e-mails *grin* You're such an encouragement. This week I've kind of gone "abscent" from the world, which is just what I do when I get real tired and totally brain dead. I just kind of disappear...This is the first time I've sat down for a veg at the computer in three days, when usually I can spend up to four hours a day on here.
I've just been so exhausted. And still trying to think of a reason for it...ok, so that sounds kind of funny 'cause of course I'm always tired. But hey...:P lol This is *doubly* tired where I wake up after my lovely 11 hours sleep and still going around yawning and falling asleep at the tea table, when the week before I wasn't. It could be GF (the glandular Fever), but I haven't had a fever. I did just drop my T3 (thyroid stimulation medication) about half a week ago, though, so it could be that. Or just PMS. Either way, I just realised it's somewhat interesting that I'm writing someone an email while being abscent. Hmm...hope you feel special ;)
I'm reading heaps at the moment. Just read The Snow Goose today. That story is so beautiful. Have you read it? It's a famous short story written by Paul Gallico (sp?) about an ugly hunchback who lives on the coast of England and a little girl who brings him a wounded Snow Goose one day, and about how through the recovery of the La Princesse Perdue (The Lost Princess which is what they named the bird) they came to know each other. In a way it's almost haunting. Hauntingly beautiful.
And you know how I haven't been doing school? Well, despite that it turns out that I'm going to still be able to pass grade 11 this year. Just how cool is that?! I was talking with Mum and she says since I'm reading through so many of my school books this year that it'll pass for literature and social studies (history); then because I'm writing on my blog and such that counts for English; I'm reading some books on Apologetics which count for Bible; all of the HTML that I've taught myself counts for a web design ellective; and if I read through this huge Biology book it'll do for Science. The only thing missing will be Maths. But I'm doing a bit of number stuff in my secretarial duties for Matt, and anyway it turns out I only have to do this one book on Algebra and I'll have enough to graduate grade 12 so it won't matter if I just put that off and do that next year.
I was under the impression that I was going to enter next year a year behind in school, but to find out I'm going to pass grade 11 in my "sabbatical" year is just insane. God is so wonderful. But perhaps I shouldn't be so surprised. In Leviticus when God is explaining to the Israelites about taking sabaticals he promises that in the year before he would provide above and enough food for them from their crop to feed them through their sabatical year.
I think I'm going to go have a shower and then maybe watch a movie or something...being so tired just fogs up my brain so that I just can't concentrate on anything. Do please tell me about what you've been doing and how life is going. I'd love to hear.
Amor,
Lyd :)
