Order-less

I’m an artist. I’m creative. But, I’m not spontaneous. I’m not a fan of change. I like predictability.

My current season of life doesn’t have a predictable routine or order. As much fun as it is to get reacquainted with being on staff at a church. As much fun as it is to live with my Pastor and his family. As much fun as we are having catching up with old friends…

I think we’re in week four, and I anticipate a few more to come.

Each week is different. Each day is different. And most of my creative energy goes into adapting and changing and flowing with what’s next. I don’t yet have a spot in my day or week that is “predictable” – a span of time where my soul can settle down for a few familiar ho

I’m eager for order/structure/routine in my life. I’m ready to be settled into my work at The Chapel. And I’m eager to be settled into a house.

I’m growing tired in a way that can’t be resolved by sleeping late or by watching hours of LOST with my Preacher’s Wife (even though it’s a blast to prep for February 2nd with her!).

What should I do?

yes, i AM high maintenance

during some LATE NIGHT LUDICRISY from whatever wednesday, i accidentally confessed the following:

i feel the need to share that i sleep with both sheets, three blankets, and four pillows.
and drew hangs off the bed.

its true. i’m a very high maintenance sleeper. and, it gets worse:

i CANNOT handle wrinkly bedding.

and i HAVE to have socks on – tight ones that hug the inner arch of the bottom of my feet.

and i need white noise

and stillness

and i DEFINITELY wish i wasn’t like this

and constantly apologize to my husband – who practically hangs off of the 6 inches of mattress he has left.

so. in what area of your life are YOU high maintenance.

and don’t even act like you’re NOT. i know better.
