Okay. So maybe I can cut back on sleep.
Don't get me wrong. I'm not whining. I mean, I love what I'm doing. I absolutely
love it. I can't remember a time when I've ever been happier. Seriously. But the thing is, my body doesn't really care if I'm happy. Notice I didn't include cooking and eating on that list? I have to do those things, but I can't find time. As I'm doing this, I'm also doing an assignment for Alg2 and trying to think of what I want on my sandwich for dinner.
Bottom line: My body is ceasing to function well. I can't do all of this and continue to work properly. I need a break really bad, but where in the world am I going to find the time?
I love you all so much. So very very much.

Cassie, my dear!
I see that you're learning about that "overstretched" feeling, and the toll it takes on your body. I think it's beautiful because everything that you're doing is so worthwhile! Just remember that it's an intense learning process, sometimes involving simply trusting that you're doing your best, and I saw that your last post was about confirmations :). Maybe your body will learn to adapt to a little less sleep; maybe also sometimes when you need it the most, something will get canceled somewhere and you'll find the time to catch up on something else. Maybe sometimes you'll beat your head against the wall and cry out in exhaustion and be glowing with the heat of tribulation. And you'll be beautiful, whatever is happening :)
I love you so much!
Good for people to know.
