Work's getting exciting again, lots of drunks and thieves, and drunken thieves!
Just wrapping up what turned out to be a trying week. First, via a scheduling mistake I missed about six hours worth of very important and expensive meetings on Tuesday (which I've gotten a letter of reprimand for), then being told on Wednesday I couldn't be financed for the Lasik appointment I was supposed to have Thursday, which was the biggest bummer because I've been looking forward to that particular appointment for about a month and been wearing glasses (no contacts) for about that long in preparation. I've rescheduled for February, so I can figure out what's going on with my credit & possibly save enough so I don't have to do the CareCredit thing. I have wanted to get Lasik for about a decade, so that was the biggest letdown. Then there was breaking my toe the day before missing the meetings on a dumbell the kids had hidden under a jacket in the dining room. I've also been tense because my second big Biology test which I took this friday. Still waiting for the results on that one.
Brandy can tell you I was very melodramatic about all this. Since Friday I think I've been able to rein it in a bit. I do want to curb the habit of telling people my problems, as it seems I'm always more eager to tell them then they are to listen-even if they ask-and It doesn't help much. The whole deal did help me realize that my stamina for disaster has gone way down. I managed to say "blessed be the name of the lord" but with a very sour face. I'd prefer to be to the point character-wisewhere I could honestly sing a worship song in similar circumstances.
Our microwave has developed a Zeus complex. The other day as Brandy was heating up some peas in a bowl it began throwing lightning around inside and making a loud snapping noise...not a good sign. So remembering a couple years ago in St. Paul when our then-microwave spontaneously combusted I had Brandy unplug it until we can figure out what's wrong or throw it away.
As a man once sung - "Don't it always seem to go, that you don't know what you've got til it's gone..." I had to heat up my cold coffee by dumping some boiling water into it. Just not the same.
Radioactive cube of convenience, why have you failed us?
And yet, Romans 8:28 is in full effect. Though He slay my microwave, yet will I trust Him.

It is somewhat comforting to know that school produces the same results in someone as brilliant as you as it does in me.
I can tell you that I have grown a bit in faith and clarity, a bit.
Sorry to hear about that lasic thing.
very sorry to hear about your stubbed toe!
Jezreel has been so good to listen to my constant barrage of complaints but I feel that God would be pleased if I stopped. In fact I have been really trying not to even though I have a couple of audiences that don't mind listening, I have found that actually sometimes while I'm complaining the answers come to me without anyone actually answering.
Oh and finally I've heard that microwaving food is really bad for you you might check it out on the internet.
Love always
in Christ
