Crystal Trino's Journal Nov 19 2006 Entry

November 19. Sunday Night.

Hi Journey.

I am so very close to exhaustion. The times when I’ve been tired before I could just kick in an extra hour of sleep and it was no big deal.

But Journey, I slept clean through Sunday school this morning!

I only woke up when the phone ran, about half past ten.

"Crystal?"

"Mm-hmm," I mumbled.

"Are you OK? The class is worried; especially Tisha Ellis"

I sat upright in bed, glanced at the clock. The time stung my eyes and I instantly knew I’d let the kids down.

"Mrs. Trepals?"

"Yes. Are you OK or just oversleep?"

"I’m fine," I said as I fought back a yawn. "I am just sooo sorry. Tell the class, will you?"

"No problem. I’ve done it myself. Of course, when the choir director oversleeps, sometimes the congregation is a bit relieved."

"Unless the preacher goes a bit over with his sermon," I said.

She laughed. One thing I like about her; she does have a sense of humor. "You just make sure you take care. I don’t wonder you oversleep, the hours you keep running that store of yours. Bye."

I woke up late afternoon; took a hot bath, and crawled back into bed, Journey. I think my body was telling me something my mind didn’t want to hear.

Better now than in Long Island with all the family.

Goodnight, Journey.
