I made a pen pal today! I tend to be just a little scatty about keeping up correspondences, but hopefully this time I'll be able to do it well. I believe I have more time on my hands now. I was so excited to find that this girl is from the place where I served for a few months! I dug out my old dip pen, nibs and ink. I wrote a nice long letter (not very neatly--I'm out of practice) that took most of the afternoon. The interesting thing about dip writing is that it forces you to really slow down. You have to be concise and really consider how much you want to say in the letter. It limits you to a few topics, makes you leave others for later. It's nice because you don't end up revealing too much at once and then having nothing to talk about.
Last night I wasn't able to get to sleep. Seriously. I was soooo tired, but I couldn't sleep until about 12:30. Then I woke up at 1:30. Finally got back to sleep at 2:30, woke up at 4:00. So when I was called to get up at 5:30...yeah. Ugh. The energy-upping effect of the meds seems currently to be working on the wrong side of the day. XD Hopefully that'll even out eventually.
Anyway, the rest of the day was pretty much watching TV and crocheting. I'm working on an afghan that's taking a while...but it will be sooo warm and worth it! I did find the contact info for the guy who's supposed to be getting me my missing evaluations. I'm really frustrated because I was told to email him and I did so TWICE. Has he responded, even to say "I received your email and we're working on it"? Nope. I stated repeatedly in those emails that I needed these evaluations to get a job (or to even apply) but he can't seem to be bothered to reply. So I'm going to call him and very politely ask whether he received my emails and if he can help me. If he can't help I'll have to see if I can get a hold of the district to explain the situation. On the up side, I have another subbing gig on Friday. Yay, money! ^_^
Growing up is hard. *deepbreath* I can do this.
Oh, yeah, I also designed myself a new layout. What do you think?
