I keep wanting to type things up...and then I don't do it. What is it that I wanted to talk about? One thing was relationships...I can't remember the other. Hmm. Well, anyway, it doesn't matter. If I ever do get those things typed up, I suppose only a select group--if anyone--will see it, because it can be rather personal in nature.
I've been really tired lately for no apparent reason. That's annoying. I need to exercise. I hate falling asleep in church! It makes it really hard to focus on the sermon. I slept for about four hours this afternoon, which made the evening sermon much easier to understand. LOL! But now I'm nearly ready to go back to bed, even though I just "got up" from those four hours about five hours ago and I slept long and well last night. LOL!
Actually, I suppose the problem is mild depression, probably partly due to being done with school yet without the prospect of going back for at least a while. And, in addition to that, I don't have any serious prospects of ANYTHING happening in my life in the near future--at least nothing particularly exciting. That's not a bad thing, but I think it tends to induce a complacent attitude that leads me to do nothing which leads to...feeling bad over having accomplished little or nothing. And here I sit. LOL! What I need to do is make a schedule that includes all these things I've been planning to do (that I can do right now, anyway).
A couple of random things that I probably haven't mentioned:
1. My training at a local crisis pregnancy center--at the branch in my town--will begin a week from this coming Tuesday. It was supposed to be this coming Tuesday, but the lady who will be helping me is going to be out of town. Anyway, I'm more intimidated than I expected, but I'm not sure why. Part of it was the sudden realization--as I was interviewing--that I could be working with people who might have very different worldviews. Or something like that. I'm not sure. I ended up talking to the lady, who is a mother of teen girls, about Christian colleges...telling her that what I've heard about the majority of them isn't extremely positive. That seemed to surprise her, which in turn surprised me. Is it so shocking to hear that Christian schools could, in some ways, be worse than secular ones if the setting is not more like a Bible college (like Calvary Bible College in Kansas City)? Hmm. Maybe it's because I more or less investigated about fifty Christian colleges back in 1999 when I was about to graduate. I was quite unimpressed.
2. My brother's deployment is going to be about a year sooner than we expected. He is supposed to leave sometime in November, if I understand correctly. He had better hurry up on getting the paperwork for that leave that will allow him to get married on August 20th! People, this wedding business is a little scary. It's hard work planning and coordinating and it's really expensive. Most of you probably already know that, though. The more weddings I see, the more I think that I'd like to keep it simple if I ever get married. At the same time, though, I really wouldn't want to elope (besides, I promised one of my aunts in Hawaii that she would be invited to the wedding...LOL!).
Anyway, that's all for now, I guess.
