The most engaging life I've ever had

exciting, fun, a little intimidating, definitely worth it.

Good Morning

Happy Tuesday y'all! So I went home Monday afternoon and got some dinner. I forgot what I ate but I took a pain pill and had a bag of popcorn for dessert. Then I sat out in the living room and had a nice little conversation with Shu until about 5:30. Then he lay down to nap on the couch, and I went over to my mattress to do the same. After a deep refreshing sleep I woke up at about 8:00 Tuesday morning. I was like "Wow I must be sleeping better because I didn't hear Ross come back or leave again." So I read Psalm 63 for my quiet time. (I was really looking forward to it because I really like Psalm 63) And then I fixed up some oatmeal for breakfast. Along with my oatmeal I had my morning pain pill and my vitamin supplement. After I ate my oatmeal, I decided I wasn't hungry enough to eat a bagel, so I got a my books together and prepared for a full day of study. After everything was set I sat down, got out my AT247 books and rotated my clock towards me so I could be ready for the MIT group to come over at 1:00. Oddly enough my clock said 21:06 (I have it set on aviation time because I am an aviator) I was like "How did it get twelve hours off?" "Did I push the wrong button when I set my alarm?" I got my other clock to make sure I reset my first one correctly and it said 9:07 P.M. Panic started to flash through my brain. I looked at another clock and it too said 9:07 p.m.! I looked outside and it was dark! What was happening? Did I just sleep all the way through Tuesday? Wouldn't someone wake me up before now? I got out my cell phone and started searching frantically for my calendar while I asked Shu what day it was. He was like "Monday night." I didn't believe him until my cell phone calendar confirmed it. That's when it hit me. I was only asleep for two or three hours! And I had just o/d-ed on my vitamin supp, and taken a double pain killer dose! I just kind of laid on the floor for a while and thought "O Wow!" The life of a druggie. Then Ross came home and heard my story and didn't believe it until he found out that I did indeed eat breakfast. I was so giddy I just sat on the floor and laughed at everthing. (Especially the thought that I would have called Jared at one in the morning to find out why nobody had gotten to my house yet.) Well, I was already awake so I went ahead and studied for a while. And I threw a ball in the air and caught it for entertainment. I started working on a new song for the Cowpies in the Rain CD called Trip to Tuesday. It's going to be good. I need my mommy. Good night from the high pilot. (I'm going to crash so hard tomorrow.)

All I can say is WOW! Keep up the good work on song writing... now is the time to come up with those great tunes, while you are on drugs, that is!

I'm on a trip to Tuesday,
Flin' through time,
I haven't even left Monday,
But Tuesday's half gone.

Chorus:
Flin' so high no one can touch me,
Higher than I ever wanted to be,
Higher than an arrow,
With laughter surgin' through my marrow.

I got up tomorrow,
While it was still today,
When I hit the ground again,
I'm really gonna pay.

(Chorus)

What a story!! That is so funny!

Those lyrics are progressing nicely, I like it! Keep it up, and better (like Eric said) get them done before you are off your pain medication. :)

That story was quite hilarious! I do, however wish y=that you would have called Jared, because that would have made it just all the more humerous after the fact!

In Christ, Allen
