The crazy mad-ness that I call my life...
Where to start! There are so many things going on, and everything runs together that sometimes I don't know where I am, what day it is (this is becoming VERY common!), or what I need to be doing. I think I'll start with work and try to touch on everything else....at least, everything that I can remember. My memory is starting to be very selective on things non short term.
WPD:: I'm still enjoying my job although it is getting a LOT more stressful. They are almost ready to put me out on my own....scary thought. You call 911 and get me...only me....Anyways...there is so much to learn, do, and pay attention to that when the ADD starts kicking in I'm...well...screwed. It isn't allowed to kick in or I'm in big trouble. I joined the "club" at work a couple weeks ago and got in my first accident in a city car. It was way too early, I had to go to Columbus for a dumb class and I just wanted coffee. Didn't get the coffee because I had to make an accident report instead. And it was pouring rain and cold--the officer who took the report didn't much care for taking pictures in the rain. Luckily, no damage and they take care of their own and while a report was made, it is not public record and no one outside the department will ever see it (no insurance raise!! woohoo!). That kinda sucked. I backed into an officer's personal vehicle that she had just bought-just my luck. She doesn't seem mad about it..... On another note, I was on nights last week and it kicked my butt. They do things different and that makes even more to remember. I'm learning how to do the job three different ways for each shift. Speaking of shifts....gotta love working in a 24/7 job. I can be ordered in. They can come to my house and force me to come to work. Nice. I got my shift for next year...second, which is 2pm-10pm. No surprise there, but the shift sucks. It was my 5th choice in a list of 5 shifts. But, I knew I would be there. It may only be for 3 months (starting in Jan) because we are hiring a new girl and they will have to do things all over again. Yay. I'll probably get even worse and end up working the 6pm-2am shift. Anyone willing to baby sit during that time? Or even 2-10? Finding childcare is going to be my biggest challenge. Let the fun begin.....
MOVING:: I'm almost ready to move :-D I have been looking at places and have a few more that I'm looking at this week. Anyone care to join me? A few twinplexes and some small houses. Don't have a moving date yet, but I'm looking at the end of Nov, early Dec. It might not be on a weekend though because of my work schedule. I get days off in the middle of the week instead of weekends a lot. But, I'll be letting people know if anyone is interested in helping...there's free food involved :) And everyone who has offered to let me take stuff off your hands...thanks :) I'll be contacting you soon about picking stuff up.
PRAIZ:: Things are going good. We taped a promo DVD that will be done by the end of this month and we will start sending information out to area churches in the near future. We have a service scheduled for Nov. 5 at 10:30 at Sanctuary which meets at the Quirk Cultural Center. See http://www.praiz.org/ or email me for more info.
CHURCH:: I have been attending Sanctuary off and on since I left my old church. I usually go when they have gatherings at the Quirk (they also do small group type meetings every other week-for more info go to http://www.sanctuarycf.org/). It is a wonderful group of people and I really enjoy it there. However, I have not committed to it yet. I still have some personal reservations about it that I am trying to work out. There are things holding me back from making a commitment. Right now, I'm not even sure I want to be involved in any church. I don't know.....lots of stuff on my mind about that. Moving on....
ME:: Luckily I can handle stress sorta well. Today was a stressful day at work. Plus I have things for PraiZ I need to be doing, looking for a place, looking into childcare, spending time with Elisabeth, not neglecting myself, and trying to spend time with friends. Luckily (or unluckily-I'm not sure) I only have like 2 close friends in the area who I try to see and talk to. Kinda sad isn't it? That's just the way my life goes. Some people just don't stick around.....and can't explain why...Anyways...so I have plans to see both these people this week and hopefully have fun. Me and Hanz are taking Elisabeth trick or treating in Wadsworth tonight. She's gonna be Dora the Explorer. I'll try to post pics. And then Thursday me and Becca are bonding in the best way possible.....hmmmm....and what could that be?....Tattoos. Yep. We're going out and getting tattoos. That will put her at like 5 I think and me at 2. There will definitely be pics of that fun experience. This is her late birthday present-and my early birthday present to myself. Any suggestions on what to get? I have some thoughts. For those who don't know, I already have a pink and blue butterfly on my lower right back. I'm thinking the foot this time....haven't decided for sure. Suggestions will be taken into consideration.
Well, I think that is all for now. At least, my brain stopped working an hour and a half ago and this is all I could get out of it right now. That's what's going on. Feel free to comment or not. I know, it's pretty boring and pathetic, but thoughts are always welcome. If I don't like your thoughts, I just delete your comment. Doesn't affect me ;). Hope all is well with everyone. BYE!!
