I'm in charge

Yeah, that's right. Neither of the bosses are here until noon today which puts me in charge of the entire staff...which today consists of me. So I'm all alone. I thought I'd update my journal before I make my run to the main library. So this weekend was a pretty good weekend. I already wrote about Friday and Saturday and yesterday was great. Why was it great for me? Because I got to see my best friend happier than she's been in a long time which makes me happy. Yes...I got to meet PC. At first I was not incredibly fond of him...but I think it was just the stress of the whole situation because when I saw him later on in the evening we got along just fine and he even told me that he thinks I'm a great person. To which I responded by saying I thought the same of him. Normally this is where I would go into my, "if you hurt her I'll kill you" speech but instead I just looked at him and said, "She's my best friend in the world. Take care of her." He responded by smiling and saying, "See...that's your real personality coming out there." He also said that he wanted to set me up with a friend of his but once he found out that I"ll probably be leaving in 8 months...he decided against it, which is fair. It wouldn't be right to try to date someone if I know I'm going to be leaving. So...YAY...I'm really happy for Roomiestar.

Now about my life...there's not a whole lot to be said. I'm still on my fast...day 6 now. WOOHOO!!! Praise the Lord. I still can't believe I've made it this far, but because I've made it this far, I know it's not on m own strength because I couldn't last more than a whole day. Anyway...I did some research last night about how to end a fast. It's a week long process. So even though I'm on a 7 day fast...it's actually a 14 day process because I have to get my system back to normal again before I start eating regularly. So it will be a lot of veggies for me this week, but that's ok. It will be nice to have solid food again, and it's important that I do it right because if I dont, it could cause some serious health problems. Finances are still a bit of a problem because I STILL have NOT gotten my VA check for the month of November and I should have gotten it 11 days ago. I tried to call again over the weekend, but they're closed. So if I don't get it today, I'm calling again. ...and if it doesn't come today, I'm really in a world of trouble. I talked to Detergent last night about going to seminary for counseling. That was pretty encouraging because she started naming off all these jobs I could get with that degree that I hadn't really thought about, so that was cool.

So yeah...last night I went to women's group for liek 3 1 /2 hours which is the longest I've ever stayed there, but it was a lot of fun. I got to sit with HBM and Scrapbook Queen until she moved then Mac and Cheese sat down with us and then...I believe we call her Minnie sat with us. I've never really talked to her before, but she's pretty funny. Then Roomiestar finally got there so she could tell us all about her whirlwind romance over the last few days (most of which I had already heard). Then we went home and she and I talked for a bit, and it was a good conversation. It's nice that we're starting to have those again instead of all the arguments. She told me that she's really seen a big change in my attitude about the whole situation which she is really glad about because it's a lot easier for her to be excited around me and not be afraid of makin me mad or anything. I honestly believe this fast has been the difference because yesterday for most of the day, I felt like I was all smiles even though times have been really rough lately. I have a new perspective on life. There was nothing specific in the last few days that caused the change, it just kinda happened, but praise the Lord nonetheless. It feels good to be able to smile again. He's been workin in me, and I'm very thankful for it. I finally have gotten a bit of a break from the attacks of satan and I am SO SO thankful for it. At the same time, though...I have to brace myself because I'm sure he'll be coming back soon.

Okie dokie...I actually need to do some work now. I love y'all!!! Peace out ladies.

God bless!
