What A Day

Wow...

Today was a doozy to say the least. I have been having a great deal of trouble sleeping this week and last night was definately one of them. I think I got around 2 hours of sleep. And my day today was a loooooong one with two very major meetings that I needed to have my head on my shoulders and be very functioning for.

So it goes like this:

- Finally get my butt out of bed around 8:00am, totally frustrated that I had slept for such a short amount of time and my system simply refused to turn off

- Stare blankly out the front window for too long

- Pile into the Mumby Mobile and go belt shopping. My new pants definately need a new belt. But I discovered people don't seem to make belt sizes in my size... I think I found literally the only size 30 belt in all of West Edmonton Mall and believe me I searched long and hard. The moment I found a size 30 belt I didn't even care to look anymore I just bought it. It cost just as much as my pants. But it's a nice one. And it only took my 45 minutes to find it. 45 minutes of belt shopping is much too long for anyone.

- I drove from West Edmonton Mall straight to Sherwood Park for prayer at the health store. It was good. Hard, but good, as two of our people are really suffering right now and I hate that. But I got to see Erin and Sophia at the end so that was nice. It's always good to talk with them. Well... Erin more because she actually responds to me.

- Then I drove home for a brief stopover (completing a literal full circle of driving around my city) and hopped back in the truck to drive to the very south side of Edmonton for another meeting that had potential to be high stress. It turned out very well with results that even I was not expecting, but results that were very good nonetheless. This lasted until 11:30pm... it started at 6:30.

- I then drove Jill home because we were not going to allow her to ride her bike home, which would have taken over an hour and a half. Thus giving me another half circle around the city and a cut straight up the middle of it. I most likely put over 200kms of city driving on the old Mumby Mobile today. It was horrific.

Now I'm going to read some of the Chronicles of Narnia (which I love and everyone should read them once a year) and then go to sleep. The people at the health store prayed one seriously powerful prayer over my sleeping patterns and I know it took!

Oh yeah... tomorrow... early morning I get to drive all the way back to the very south side of Edmonton for a wedding, do that until 3:00pm, drive home, quickly turn around and we got the next prayer crawl at 4:30-7:00 at Whyte Ave!! Acccckkkkkk....... Could be about a 150km day tomorrow.
