Yesterday I played catch up with my sleep rhythm patterns; I could do nothing more. Sara and Bailey were here for three days and we never stopped moving our legs (or our mouths). Then they left and Monday, I had two events in Malden and Sikeston. So yesterday, I crashed. My circadian clock presence and its rhythms said stop. A friend came by and wanted to talk about a major problem and Gloria came to clean the house. When they both left, I hit the couch walking slowly and I only left it to go to the bathroom, get some food, and go get the mail. I needed the respite in a big way!
There are times when there is nothing left to do but give in and watch endless hours of television and doze off between shows. That is a part of my rhythm patterns. Today I got up invigorated and ready to do some of the work which has piled up in the last four days. And I am off to a good start. I think that Christ understands these days of withdrawal far more than I ever will. It is a form of mental suicide, at times, for me so I can regain some structure or let my mind go blank.
Anyway, thank God and his goodness for a day and night of rest. I thank him and my circadian clock thanks him. Peace is close at hand.
