so there’s still a good bit of the day “remaining” for me…but by the time it’s over i probably won’t feel up to writing about it…

so here goes…

it’s been a whirlwind the past few days…graduation parties, end-of-the-year concerts, financial learning experiences, baby showers…and baptism…at our house. i love all of the fun - i adore entertaining…

i’ve just been having a little trouble…lately…with…myself…

it happened again this morning…during the last service. i could feel it coming like a cold chill. i tried my best to shake it off. i was doing okay until i got back up under those crazy lights on the platform. my ears starting ringing so loudly that i couldn’t hear josh to harmonize with him…i had to try to harmonize with the ringing instead - sorry josh…sorry people who had to hear me…

i kept picturing myself taking a nose-dive off the platform. i kept praying…thinking that people needed to hear about God, they didn’t need to be distracted by crazy blonde woman flying into the front row…

at one point i steadied myself by leaning on the snake crate…that would be the tank holding a six foot python!…yeah, like i said there were all kinds of possibilities for “distractions”.

i don’t remember walking off the stage, i only remember standing in front of byron…trying to understand the words that were coming out of his mouth from the tunnel i was in…

…and all of this without drugs! who needs drugs when your morning can feel like a carnival ride…complete with reptiles and lots of psychedelic colors.

anyway, some little preschooler will now be without a juice box since it was all that was available to get my blood-sugar back up - sorry, preschooler but it’s better than if i had crushed you by falling on top of you…especially now that i’m not the skinny girl i used to be.

but i digress…

now i’m just back to my “doozy” of a headache. lesson learned: i’ll carry raisins in my pocket or wear bubble wrap just in case…

now, c3ers and their friends and family will be here in a little while to be baptized…that’s so exciting to me - much cooler than the ringing in my head and all the pretty colors…

and on the up side - i now can explain the process of compounding interest thanks to c3’s financial learning experience with joe sangl…seriously, i think compounding interest is my new favorite thing!!

so it’s all good.

peace to you all…and to all the pretty colors.
