I can't keep this up. I'm not a huge fan of my job as it is. I don't hate it with a passion or anything, but Josh was pretty much the only thing keeping me sane some days.
And now he's leaving.
He's the last friend I had left at work - and one of the best friends I've had in my life. Yes, before you start pointing it out, I know I'm not really ( Read more... )

So I did end up going to eat with Caleb. He said he was craving the Smokehouse all week and was wanting barbecue pizza. I ended up seeing some people I'd not seen in a while: Dessie (former library coworker), Tyler (former student), and Andrew (distant friend). I didn't actually go talk to any of them, but Tyler nodded at me and Andrew waved ( Read more... )

Yes, I am going to freely admit that I do not understand most of what is going on with the National Government. I get the general gist of the shutdown and maneuvering, but for the most part... no... I'm relatively clueless. I do admit that this makes me an "uninformed citizen" and probably means I should be applying for transfer to another ( Read more... )

Yup - we all know by now that I only show up here when I'm on my own too much, right? Truthfully, I've been trying to do a lot better with the social thing over the last month or two. I've been working on not turning down invitations to do things; I've been trying to hang out with people more - even to the point of actually making the effort ( Read more... )

It's been a relatively uneventful week. Josh and Brittney went to Florida with some friends of hers this week, so I've kind of been on my own at work. From all evidence, he's pretty miserable this time around. On the other hand, it looks like I'm going to be back on the truck on Monday (finally) so maybe that will be a nice surprise ( Read more... )

Psalm 31:9

I woke about an hour ago. I'm not sure why. But now I'm uncomfortable and I can't get my brain to just shut up! I have a few words to Piano Man stuck in my head, but I don't know enough of the song to get past that one phrase so it just keeps repeating. I keep wandering mentally down scenes and scenarios that have very little to do with reality ( Read more... )

We had a shorter service this morning since Mark was out with his training weekend. Jeremy isn't quite as long-winded at his sermons. I was hanging around afterward and they were getting ready for their Easter drama practice. I declined a part in the production, but since I don't have much of a life I figured I'd watch the practice. Turns out ( Read more... )

Josh sent me a message last night requesting prayer... which generally means things are going really badly for him. It's definitely true this time. On top of them trying to get their financial issues under control his step daughter now is in the hospital with an infection that isn't responding properly to medication. I want so much to be able to ( Read more... )
