Lent Already?

What a week. What a day. What a hour. What a minute. What a moment. So many things happening this week. Some of which had me feeling like an astronaut and others brought me back down to Earth. Sunday was just a crazy day. Spent 11hrs at FHC and got about 4hrs sleep. Just got back from a nice little walk in my neighborhood. Been while, and not 15 seconds in I scared a man walking a dog by using my cell phone. He then asked if I "live around these parts." He was my next door neighbor... I actually watched him walk out of his driveway. It happens. Not the first time, won't be the last, but that is all in the past now its Lent. Ash Wednesday to be exact.

Yes, its Lent already. Coming off one fast and right into another. And this one is almost twice as long. What am I giving up? Junk Food. Candy. KOOL-AID. YES. KOOL-AID. I live off the stuff, that and Sprite. So, its gonna be a long 40 days. I kinda wish I could go on a 40 day/night cruise, then again, that would be bad for most of you.

Hopefully, it doesn't mess up my already messed sleep patterns. Though my dreams have been ridiculous. I have had two lucid dreams in the past week. I use the DILD technique for anyone that actually gets those amazing things. For those that don't even know it when you realize you are in your own dream and thus take control. Basically Inception happens. So my night now involves me laying in bed tossing and turning for hours listening to the clocks chime the hour and then I'm saving the world. 

However, I digress. Which is a problem. Now where was.. Lent. Yes. Another fast. This is going to be much more difficult. As I have lost the ability to taste my desserts now. Which means no more desserts. Though my cookies are always good and will be made for a few select people. Don't you wish you are one of those people? Well I'm choosing at random and if you check under your seat there might be a golden cookie ticket redeemable for a bakery tour and taste testing! Ha! One day.... one day. 

There is also this thing of scripture for the fast. Since, last time we had Psalm 119. I kept it going by using daily verses for my reflection and every single verse(s) has applied to something in my life on that day and I don't mean I was sad and the verse said to be happy cause you have God. I mean I had a dream which affected my thoughts for the day and then the verse says to give my thoughts to the Lord and that was one of the shallower(?) ones. It's one thing to hear from God, but this....
