And being a “narrative” person, I don’t like it when characters die. Especially without clear explanation. So last night, the ending was playing over in my head after we’d turned the lights off, and it sort of struck me that we are all really that vulnerable. I don’t mean to be morbid at all. It’s just odd how the (seeming) death of a character on a TV show reminded me that we aren’t promised tomorrow. We live highly vulnerable lives that could end. Time is incredibly precious, and I waste so much of it. I need to be more careful of how I see time, how I use my time, and what things I use to fill my time.

- I didn’t leave CU until 5:00. I got home at 6:00, made dinner, and tried to relax for the rest of the night while I stayed up to watch Eureka<\/span>. I didn’t even do the dishes. I guess that’s on the agenda for today!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Not really sure what I’ll be doing today, other than loading the dishwasher. But I’m sure we’ll figure out something! Happy Wednesday!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
