settling my brain for a long winter's...

I’m utterly exhausted. I went to bed late last night. Then, woke up at 5:45am to walk to Harvard square by 6:30. Later, J & I hung out with our pastor who complicated things by telling us that though he supports our leaving that he’d love for us to stay and keep working for the church and that he’d figure out a way that we can essentially get a raise. This was both flattering and confusing. But mostly flattering. But also confusing. We love our life, friends, church, work and neighborhood here, but I miss family terribly. Anyway, I took a shower, then read, and ate dinner with Rob. Now I’m nigh passing out tired.
