Quick Changes

it's a funny thing sometimes.  people will bitch about the weather, but the weather is the result of people not giving a damn about preservational measures to ensure stability in the global climate.  but, regardless of either of these, it's winter.  you expect cold in winter.  you expect snow and ice and chilled bones in winter.  and when you have something better than that, you should be grateful, because it's winter.  this is January.  the worst, i'm sure, is yet to come.  but we forget these things because we want what we want when we want it. 

anyway, i can't remember if that is a picture of sunrise or sunset.  i think it's sunrise on Saturday.  sun rising in the east.  but the sunset looks pretty much the same, except the light creeps in for sunrise, and the dark does for sunset.

so, yesterday i did a bunch of running.  but it was a good day.  i cleaned my whole house, washed all clothes that needed washing, and used my savings to get the stuff for the meatballs and the greens and the banana pudding.  i got with Shereese, went over the collection and we made a list of the last things to obtain supply-wise for Wednesday's meeting.  i watched some television, ate well and slept pretty soundly.  it's nice to have a day off. 

today, i got up and got myself together for the Kingdom Hall. it's been a long time, but the circuit overseer was in town and giving the talk today, and i wanted to get my mom there.  i had first made arrangements for her to get a ride, but i realized how ungrateful i was being.  my mother helps me every chance she gets, so i got gas after i was dressed, picked her up and took her to the Hall.  the talk was good, the service went pretty quick and she got a ride home with her sister-in-law.  i left for the south side, went to Big Lots for coffee for myself and for Wednesday, went to the CA meeting, went to Family Dollar for the bouillon i couldn't find at Big Lots, and i came home.  yesterday i'd done my meatballs and washed my greens.  today i sauced the meatballs and cut up and am currently slow cooking the greens.  Tuesday night i'll make the banana pudding and get things dished up to roll on Wednesday. 

i wonder if the boss lady is going to approve my half-day off on Wednesday. it doesn't matter, i won't be coming back that day regardless, as i gave a notice my first day of work.  they are not on the ball, so i have to make sure i  am, is what it comes down to. 

strange things:  calls coming anonymously to my cell phone.  no idea who, texts actually.  but it is fairly annoying.  i guess i could block numbers, but it isn't really that important to me to have to learn how to block a number.  still missing Rachel.  finding out Joe (Syd's s.s.o.) is working on losing the job that is their income and the means of them having a very low rent in their apartment.  sent her a link to the Zax by Dr. Seuss on YouTube, hope she gets it. 

i am tired, but i'm not crashing too early.  my regular driver is out of town til wednesday, and i have to help the new guy on the route as best i can, but i also need to stay focused so we can get through this anniversary.  caught up on the Dining Room as well, so there's that.  i'm done for now.
