a Day Off (for no good reason)

this is my scene about 7a.m. most mornings these days.  a church on the corner of route 305 and Ridge Rd, on the way to getting my first pick up.  it is all snow, ice and bitterness to me right now.  but the view is much prettier than my phone is able to capture.  i don't mind it, really.  it is a job, it's a better job than many i've had and i am still filling a purpose in my life and the lives of others.  i won't complain about that.

today, however, i'm off work.  i don't have much to do in the daytime, and i have a doctor's appointment at 4pm today.  i took off because i was trying to schedule all my doctor appointments for one day, but when i had them scheduled that day changed, so i had to just go with getting them in when i could.  but the day off is not a bad idea.  i will go see my parents, have lunch with Lonnie and wait for DeJa to get to town and get here.  i have enough going on and i have more than enough to occupy myself. 

Rachel and i have been getting along well enough.  we have moments, mostly due to lack of communication rather than miscommunication.  we talk things through eventually, but even until then we just push forward.  i don't know if it's a fear that we'll lose each other again or just not wanting to invest good energy into bad shit.  but i'm glad she's here, i will be sorry when she goes and i'll live in the meantime.

likely this won't be a very crowded work week, with the expected temperature drop Wednesday and Thursday.  but one day at a time, that's all there is to consider.  i got Dee (da Boss)'s  bag of coats to the Fellowship hall via Sherese, so that's good.  I helped an elderly woman with putting her groceries in her trunk, and that's cool too.  i'm not blowing my own horn, i just need some good things remarked upon, so when i look back i can have some light along the pathway of this sporadically recorded Journey.

i thank you, Jehovah, for the restful days.
