Sojourner Posted August 20, 2004 Share Posted August 20, 2004 1) I live above my friends' garage. They moved this morning, so I'm all alone for a while ... no more kids surprising me at 6 in the morning, or wanting to come up and visit me. No more late-night fires discussing fun topics. No more breakfasts with the fam. 2) Work has sucked this week. I can’t seem to do anything right, or on time. 3) I am packing, and my place is in a total uproar. 4) I don’t have any Internet at home for a while. Which is probably good because I won’t have things to distract me from packing. But still. It’s annoying. 5) Today I walked to lunch in the rain, and on the way I tripped on one of the bricks and fell and bruised my knee and my arm. So now I’m wet, cold, and bruised. I almost just sat down on the sidewalk and started crying. I need to go home and go to bed I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Yeah, I think that's part of why work has sucked, because I've had a lot of personal stuff going on. It makes it harder to focus at work, and then I'm depressed and want nothing more than to crawl under my desk and hide for a while. I'll pray for you too, Lil Red.

Ash Wednesday Posted August 20, 2004 Share Posted August 20, 2004 *prayers* Today has been kind of squirrely. But I feel more at peace with things after screaming prayers to St. Jude yesteday.... Yesterday was actually my hard day. The business with my car got me all worked up (gonna cost around $500-600, though that isn't as bad as I had anticipated) I got to worrying about a lot of things and came home from work crying. Then I realized why I was really crying, I was able to put my finger on what was REALLY bothering me and what I needed to do about it. And I felt soooo much better!! The neat thing was, when I was crying I was lamenting to myself that I didn't have Mom to talk to, and when I realized what was wrong and what I needed to do, it was like I felt she was with me. It was like she was saying "Follow your heart and stay with the plan!" I really miss her. I was getting worked up about graduate school, and I realized I should stick to my original plan and apply to school in London instead of Norway....I'd be much happier, and it's what my mom and I had talked about just before she passed away. (Arranging to study independantly in Norway is a pain in the butt if you're an American, that's all I gots to say!) So now I'm at work and it's a really wild day, I'm putting fires out with jobs left and right... calling the printer... blah blah blah!!!!!

theculturewarrior Posted August 20, 2004 Share Posted August 20, 2004 I'm sorry phriends. I hope y'alls days perk up. Life is suffering, but thank God we don't all have the sorrows of the Saints. Thank God for the good things. You know, like I say, out of sorrow joy is born. Like today, there was an employees breakfast where I work. But I was so tired phrom paltalk last night, that I ended up sleeping until I no longer had time phor a shower, and I was way underdressed for the breakphast, so I just got coffee and left. My coworkers think I'm weird or undesirable or consevative or [i]something[/i] (or maybe I just remind them of work.) But it's cool. I just had some cupcakes, so I'm doing good. I hope you get some spiritual cupcakes, Sojourner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stagefairy Posted August 20, 2004 Share Posted August 20, 2004 Well, my day is going okay.... but in a week and a half I am taking a two day bus trip with my 8 month old. That has the potential to make both of us VERY sad. It's a good thing we believe in redemptive suffering! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sojourner Posted August 20, 2004 Author Share Posted August 20, 2004 Y'all are great, thanks for your words of encouragement. And I am glad we believe in redemptive suffering! Although I'm still working on being able to rejoice in it ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
