i can't believe it's been three days since i've written last - but then again, i can.
on monday, i had training. it went pretty well, and i'm continuing to really enjoy my job.
on tuesday, we had my brother over for dinner. haha - i'm such a goob. i fixed mashed potatoes, gravy, corn and cherry pie. the main dish? chicken enchiladas. :P i didn't mean for it to be that - i just couldn't think of anything else.
today i had training again. this time with the district manager. it went really well, though it was painfully hot, and i burned my elbow, my fingers, and my hands. i worked in the kiln room, learned to match and also to glaze. it was really fun overall, and i think my boss and i had good conversations.
tonight was church. we're printing off the may/june issue of the magazine, which i will assemble tomorrow, and mail out as well. i have a paycheck that can cover mailing expenses, so i'm pretty stoked about that. i already have the outline for my next issue done, and i'm probably going to start working on that tomorrow as well. this is my last 'late' issue. i will always strive to be on time from here on out. it's not that hard - it's just priorities, and making good use of my time.
there is a boy in our youth group that i've been working with. i'm going to start tutoring him probably tomorrow, and i'm hoping that will turn out well. he's had a really rough life, and so has his sister. but, prayerfully, they'll start to come around. it's so important to be interactive with the kids - because even though they will ultimately make their own decisions, being around to pick up the pieces is very helpful.
there is a girl in our youth group. i'm going to try to hang out with her more. she's so lost, and we've really - no, i've really - let her slip through the cracks. there's no excuse for her being in the place she is emotionally, mentally, or physically. and i take the blame. you can't let a 14 year old make all their own choices without any direction. it winds up badly.
i rode with my friend on tuesday too. i forgot to mention that. but it was really good.
oh, and day 8 of zoloft, i'm doing very well.
i guess that's about it for me. hugs and thoughts to you all.
