Day something of Sugarless

People don’t seem to understand how going to church is hard.  I always get answers of, but you go shopping, or all you have to do is sit there…for 3 hours…in a folding chair.  They always forget the 3 hours part. I live in a very religious community, & if I miss a week of church, my very devotion & "goodness" are questioned.  They don’t understand that I have come to dread Sundays because I know that Monday & Tuesday are going to be filled with pain.  That I’m so concentrated on not falling over that I don’t get a lot out of church.  Day of rest my foot, church is one of the hardest parts of my week.

So last week I had to keep sneaking candy bars during church to just not fall over from exhaustion.  I’m amazed at how bad I am at going without sugar for a month.  I thought this would be one of the easier experiments.  I’ve gone without flour & refined sugar for years & only cheated on the diet once or twice in that time.  I guess I’m just too exhausted, I don’t have the effort to put into it.  I did however discover during church that wrapping 3 skeins of yarn in a coat makes quite a comfortable pillow.  I’m thinking of marketing them.
