My back has started hurting again, and I had to pee like a million times today sooooo I am going to call the doctor tomorrow and try to get an appointment so hopefully I can take care of whatever this is. I took a round of antibiotics a few weeks ago and it seemed to be on the way to feeling normal again, but I feel it coming back. My thing is that it doesn't really hurt that bad. I feel like in order for me to do something about it I need to be in real pain, which is so dumb. Something is not right in my body, and I need to take care of it.
I want to thank all of you who have emailed me, texted me, called me, even those of you that have just prayed for me. I feel your prayers. I kind of don't really like it when people say that sometimes, because I'm not always sure what it means, but I will explain what I mean by it. I have felt very loved and cared for. I feel you guys loving me and supporting me. I feel lifted up, and cherished. I feel God reminding me that I am here as part of his plan, that I have things to offer. I feel affirmed. Thank you for your encouragement, and for every way shape and form it has appeared.
I rolled into the office around 11 today. We are supposed to get Monday mornings off as kind of a break after the marathon that is Sunday. Matt was just finishing reading the Book of Common Prayer for the day. He's been reading it out loud each day to us. I like it. I got a lot done in the office today. I was only there for about an hour and a half, but I got caught up on emailing, organized some filing stuff, nailed down a few scheduling things for this week, and did some reading. It was great.
We had a meeting with all of us interns plus Michael to talk about OUR GSO after lunch. Things are finally starting to come together. It's getting to the point where we know enough that it's real and exciting and stuff is starting to mold and form into what the week will look like, but at the same time there is still a ton to do, plan, organize and just a lot to do in general that I am overwhelmed. So overall, excited and overwhelmed, maybe more of an excited overwhelmed. I am glad that we all get to work together. We are united on this project. No one is left to do anything alone. There is comfort there. It makes it more doable. July 18th-24th. Mark your calendars. It's going to be awesome.
Monday night = ultimate frisbee. Halfway through the night we got kicked off of the field we were playing on by UNCG campus police. Whoops. We packed up and moved over to a different field, more like a lawn in front of some building on campus. Slightly annoying that we can't really seem to get permission to use any of the fields on campus, but it turned out fine. Thankfully, it wasn't so hot this evening, and there seemed to be more shade on the field we moved to. I would say it was a successful night.
Today felt good. I felt like I got a lot done. I felt like I had some good conversations. I felt like I had a good balance of everything. I think it's good to have these days, especially after having so many intense ones in a row. It feels good to know that things don't have to be so emotionally overwhelming everyday. I don't know, maybe it's me retreating a little bit, but I don't really feel like that's the case. I think that today all of the stuff I have been carrying around with me was still there, it was still real, but it didn't have to be so heavy today. I could have it be there, and not have it be quite so overbearing or overwhelming. I wasn't hiding from it or trying to hide it from everyone around me, and I think that stripped it of some of it's power. Maybe not. All I know is that today felt good, and I am thankful for that.
