Day Forty Five - Exhausted by noon.

"Consider it all joy, my brethren, when you encounter various trials,  knowing that the testing of your faith produces endurance.  And let endurance have its perfect result, so that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing." James 1:2-4

Somehow I thought that since I had hit the wall on Sunday last time it would be the same.  We got up early, because I couldn't sleep, dinked around for a while, and then went out for breakfast at Zell's Cafe.  I ordered the German pancake with rhubarb sauce.  It wasn't bad, but it didn't taste like much.  It's usually absolutely delicious.  

I love rbubarb

Then we went on some errands.  Riley wanted to go to a pool store on Foster Road.  It wasn't there.  Then we drove to Standard Appliance, where Riley got new filters for the refrigerator.  Then we stopped at Fabric Depot, where I wanted to get some eyelet fabric for a "wedding dress" for Emily.  It seems eyelet is passe.  So eventually I found some white cotton material with a white pattern on it.  (She's pretty excited about it).

The world needs more white dresses

On the way back into town we stopped at Trader Joe's.  I was winding down quickly there.  And Riley wasn't, so I went and got into the check-out line without him.  He soon joined me.  Then we went straight home, and I went straight for the couch.  I was so tired.  That was about the end of me for the day.  I was supposed to post my Daring Baker project, which I had competed ahead of time.  But I completely forgot.  I imagine I did sleep through a baseball game, but who knows.  And then I went to bed.

Psalm 4:7-8 

You have put gladness in my heart,

More than when their grain and new wine abound. 

In peace I will both lie down and sleep,

For You alone, O LORD, make me to dwell in safety.
