I'm going on five days sober. And by sober I mean caffeine-free. The dull throb in my head that has been my constant companion these past 120 hours is beginning to wane. Perfect timing considering the fact that I'm teaching eighteen teenagers Seminary at 6:30 in the morning tomorrow and Friday. I'm going to need all the brain power I can muster.
Two weeks from today, I will be landing in the South Bend airport to spend Thanksgiving with my beloved sisters and some dear friends. I received an email from the hostess (Fo) asking for menu requests and making sure we were all okay with a pasture-fed heritage turkey on the table come feasting time. If only all decisions were as easy as choosing between said heritage turkey and one found a the grocery store. Sadly, they are not. But life continues.
Yet another person made the observation that I consistently look angry because my brow is furrowed more often than not. I've received this comment on numerous occasions and I don't mean to look mean, I guess it just happens. I'm actually rarely in a bad mood, but I analyze most situations and think about "heavy" topics often. So I'm not angry, just ponderous. There's today's insight to the inner-workings of me.
I miss my dog.

You're the best person I know
I just tell people that I have a naturally sullen resting-face. That mostly wins me weird looks, but it's a very accurate description of my expression. Try it! :)
I am often told I look surly...I prefer to think of it as pensive.
Counting down the days til the fest!
so that's a yes on the turkey?
the worse part of post-op recovery for me was the caffeine withdrawal. good luck (gulp).
i haven't been told i look angry, but am often told that i always look very, very depressed and miserable (a comment usually pre- or pro-ceded by a "just smile!"). maybe it's familial.
can't wait to see youns and really h'ing want mr t!
