June 3, 2019: Jeremiah 51.

Hi! My name is Pamela and I’m a workaholic.

I woke up at 4:45 p.m. and started studying – even though I had less than 7 hours of sleep.

After studying for an hour, I:

• Had devotions.
• Made the bed.
• Researched a free photoshop program.
• Wrote a friend.
• Wrote a Graduation Card and a Sympathy Card.
• Balanced the checkbook.
• Washed 2 loads of laundry.
• Cleaned the kitchen and both bathrooms.
• Labeled and froze a container of milk.
• Decluttered one desk.
• Exercised.
• Painted the trim on my cheerleading letter. (Instagram photo later.)
• Updated my food inventory.

After lunch I:

• Put away the Mother’s Day dishes, ribbons, flowers, pearls, and candles.
• Wrapped lace from the wreath back on the spool.
• Mended.
• Sewed the collar down on a flyaway cardigan.
• Dug out one of Derek’s Tees to embroider for his quilt.
• Published a post.
• Practiced for Wednesday’s service.
• Worked on the “2020 Relevant Bible Reading Guide.”
• Measured the wall area at the end of the hall for a new photo gallery.
• Cut out graph paper rectangles the size of the pictures I would use.
• Arranged them on paper until I was satisfied.

After supper I:

• Went to Mom’s and David cleaned out her gutters.
• Pinned the 3 layers of Laura’s quilt together on the living room floor.
• Embroidered a letter on Derek’s Tee for his quilt.
• Looked in Mom’s basement to see where the water is coming in.
• Came home and went to bed.

Please tell me I am not alone. Are there any other workaholics out there?

Jeremiah 51:58, “…The harder you work at this empty life, the less you are…” The Message

Ouch!

Many self-help books recommend sleeping for 6 or 7 hours. I can’t do that all of the time. I get grouchy!

My verse showed me that I need to sleep in tomorrow! A sleep-debt is a real thing. How many hours of sleep do you get each night?
