10:39 AM - A Calmer Day
I write to you today from work. Taking a break briefly from all of the paperwork I've got going on this morning. Life is finally starting to calm down for me somewhat. I am extremely thankful. I am just trying to take things one moment, one day at a time. I feel glad to be back at work today. My secretary's grandfather passed away yesterday and she'll be out most of the week. Next week, I'll be out of town to go to training. I'm trying to get all of my major stuff at least started this week. I hope that's how it will go anyhow. I like what I do for the most. It's enough to keep me busy and I help people without being overwhelmed with it. I imagine unless I get a shot at federal govt., that this will be my final stop in the career arena. We shall see. I didn't sleep well last night and I'm not sure why that is. I even drank chamomile tea before bed thinking that would help. I slept for about 4 hrs. My mind was racing and I felt edgy. It was like taking in too much caffeine. The only caffeine I had was 6 hrs prior to sleep, so I doubt that was it. I feel oddly rested today though. My boss and I will be working on my recommendation into the Masters Program for my job this week. If recommended, I can get my Masters in this field, have them pay for it and get a raise upon completion. Not too shabby.... Today God has given me peace in my heart and I'm glad. I've freaked out enough lately for about 10 people. I dread this daylight savings junk. It begins the day before I leave town to a place that is naturally an hour behind us due to the change in time zones anyhow. It will bite getting used to that. I do like the area I'm traveling to. It's right outside of Nashville. Lots to do and see and fairly easy to navigate. I got to spend time with my brother and my niece this weekend. She's 7 mo old and got 2 teeth. She says 'dada' and 'baba' and shakes her head no. She tries so hard to crawl. She can fly in a walker..but she goes backwards. My brother and I both did this as babies according to my mother. Bless her heart, if she's half as weird as we were, she doesn't stand a chance. I love her anyhow. My nephew is cool. He's 9 and he loves to read. He's reading on the eragon series. (I wasn't that motivated at his age) But he slacks on other stuff to avoid bringing homework home and that's become an issue. It's not constant, but he knows that priveledges will be revoked if he continues this. He already lost karate. That broke his heart. He said the hardest part was telling his instructor. So he says he's trying to do better. I tell ya, I'm glad I'm an old adult. I wouldn't want to go through childhood today for love nor money. It was much simpler when I was growing up. But I digress.... I want to get back into my photography, but weather hasn't been the most permissive and I've not been as motivated as I could be. But I'm working on it. Well, that's about all I have on the life and times of me. Not much to tell, huh? I appreciate you listening to my ramblings and do come back. Have a good one and take care!
Love,
Me
