I’ve been trying to get my head organised this week. Last night, when I slept, I could hear it beating against my pillow. <\/p>\n

I’ve spent ten hours editing photos today. My bum hurts from sitting so much. I ate an ice cream sandwich, and two eggs. I haven’t been to the gym since Monday. I can tell. I’m exhausted. The only time I’m not exhausted is when I’m hitting the treadmill or the free weights every day. I wish someone would have told me ten years ago that the way to be more energetic is to be more energetic.<\/em> <\/p>\n

I was suppose to go to the Theatre tonight. But musicals and migraines don’t mix so well. I know because I once wore one through Les Mis<\/em>. Glutton. Punishment. <\/p>\n

St Paul<\/center>

San Paolo fuori le Mura.<\/center><\/p>\n

I need to compartmentalise. I take on jobs that are too huge. Get overwhelmed by them and verge on panic<\/em> when I can’t get through them soon enough. The key, or so I’m told, is to do one small task at a time. Feel good about yourself. Enjoy the calm. And then do another. Apparently you get there just as soon. Just not all frazzled and fried. <\/p>\n

I miss being able to go to church when no one’s there. I understand ‘community’ but I don’t dig the politics. I understand my grandfather. Sometimes, I can handle a good sermon. Sometimes, I just want to be still<\/em>. And it’s really hard to do that when a place is swarming with parishioners. <\/p>\n

St. Paul Outside the Walls<\/a>. At night. When the tourists have died down. Now there’s a place to be still. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
