Golden Clouds out my Window
It was really easy to figure out last night on the phone that I'm not compatible with that guy, and I let him know dating really isn't gonna work, but we're gonna hang out on Tuesday. So that's cool.
I went to church, and I immediately feel so comfortable and peaceful there. I love the songs the worship team picks out, and I realize I need to get back into a choir, although I don't really want to go back to CCV. The sermon was about being thankful instead of hoarding away and not taking time to appreciate what is already given to us. I loved it. And my friend Nancy sat with me and wanted to write notes back and forth during the sermon (she's a chatty older lady) and I found out Ellen is coming back from Florida this week. I love how the only friends I've really made since being here are all 50 and up. :-) I mean, I have made friendships through Edmunds, but not of the going-out-in-spare-time variety. I've gone to Martha's concerts though, and have invited Erin to go contra dancing. Tony was definitely a potential, but he must have moved, 'cause I haven't run into him since January.
I took a walk to the lake and around Church St. today, sun all around. And used that long forgotten library card to Fletcher Free to borrow a book on Japan. I like running into kids from Edmunds, because it makes me feel like I belong in this city. That somebody actually KNOWS me, and likes me enough to call out my name.
Did I mention that I am going to apply for a couple After School Director positions? It might help me get a leg up on some finances, and I could actually go to a dentist with benefits! It's been too long. Whew. Anyways, cross your fingers for me, but I really think I can do it.
