Yeah, so I want to write here but don't really feel like dealing with the browser. Anyway....Last few weeks (mostly) good. Then there was that blasted hurricane. No power here for 20 hours, I was outside for a decent chunk of it. Slept with the window open. Hurricane= GREAT sleeping weather. Chelle, Dave and Samantha came to visit that weekend too. What a mess that was.
Tonight was my last night at the store up on Frederick Road....tomorrow I start at the Westland store. Woohoo for Rite Aid on my street!
Adventures In Cat-Hearding....Last night,![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
seaya asked me to come over this morning and help get one of the cats into a carrier for a vet visit. Spen about 10 minues chasing an unhappy, hissing kitty around the apartment beore we got her in the bedroom with the carrier, door closed and I got a blanket over her and sorta slid her into the carrier. I hung out at the apartment while Leah went to the vet, then we went to Double T Diner for lunch.
Random thought for the evening: I do not qualify as a hobby. (Don't ask....I need new friends or something...:-P )
Darby from Lancaster is talking about wandering down here to visit sometime soon. That oughta be interesting.
Speaking of soon...PLAYA DEL FUEGO in 2 weeks! WOOHOO! *HAPPYDANCE*
Speaking of Lancaster...I was poking around on Phil's weblog Xanga thing and wound up way back in May right about the time I met him, just before I actually had started reading it...and I came across this in reference to me: "She has so much faith... just not in Jesus. Maybe some day... but for now, I'll just enjoy being able to talk with her."
For a few seconds, I felt like I'd been punched in the stomach. I didn't know how else to feel about that. But after mulling it over a bit, I've decided that it's not a big deal. Phil has never tried to convert me, I don't forsee it becomig a problem in the future either. He invited me to church with him once...and I probably would have gone had the opportunity came up before I left. I was kinda curious after hearing him talk about it. Sounded like an interesting place.
At the same time, I am also very happy that he recognized that I do have faith...Too many Christians that I've talked to have come from the argument of "Unless you have faith in Jesus and the Christian God, you have no faith" I just have faith in somethign else. Every day I see something....sometimes it's big and dramatic, sometimes it's just a little slier of something...that tells me I've found my truth...
It's like playing Tetris....for so long, I felt like I had this screen full of blocks built up...and was that close to the one too many that ended the game (And in no way do I mean to analogize the end of the game with the end of my life because that NEVER was the case it was just a buildup of soooooo many things, I just had no idea what the hell I was doing) And then one little thing clicked...and i got the right piece to make a line disappear...and another And I got rid of another line, and a few more...and then a bunch of things clicked, and it was a Tetris...clearing 4 lines out at a time...and then of course thigns progress andthe game gets tougher, but I know how to play it and I know how to clear the screen out...oh geez, I think I've made my point.
(Side Note: Okay, okay okay okay....I give up...fuzzyr, corpslave, edrick and whoever else I've been fighing this battle with...I just analogized my spiritual outlook in life to a video game. Yeah....ok, you win...go ahead and say it...
Did I have a point to all that? I'm sure I did somewhere.
Oh yeah...and I can't shake the feeling that I recently made a mistake.
