It's been a little crazier than usual around the casa these days. Between working, studying, doing some things at church, and sleeping I have very little time for blogging/chatting/being social. I thought I would give the Xanga-sphere a quick update (and let you know I'm reading your stuff in my subscriptions even if I don't always post a response. I will get better at this multi-tasking thing soon!)
- Work is going well. It's been extremely busy, mainly because it's the first of the month and everyone's Medicaid slots reset, so they want to get their stuff again. It's been interesting watching the people who come through. I can get to know the nice folks who just need to get their medications refilled, and I'm seeing the druggies (probably either abusing or selling) who come in for their cocktails of painkillers, muscle relaxers, and psychiatrics. It's sad really and I keep reminding myself those people need someone to pray for them, even when they're yelling at us, or pestering the fire out of everyone in the pharmacy. I have to get thick enough to not let them get to me without getting so jaded I question everyone else. It's a fine line to walk, but I think it will get more manageable as time goes on.
- I'm signing up for the Walk to Emmaus in October in East Texas. It's something I've always wanted to do, and a community I've always wanted to participate in, and I think it would be a good time to do that. I just have some paperwork to fill out and a sponsor to chat with before things get going much farther. I'm excited about it though.
- The grocery store I work for is participating in Relay for Life the first weekend in May, and I plan on walking part of the way for Daddy. It will be five years on Wednesday the 15th since we lost him. It feels like forever and then it feels like no time at all. I still miss him every day. I put a lily at church in his memory since I'm not close enough to put flowers at the cemetary for him.
- I HAVE to get more organized with housework, groceries, coupons and the like. I got so spoiled being home all the time and let all my systems of handling those things fall to the side. Even though I have a short commute, I have different hours and I have to get this all sorted out before things get too far out of hand.
- I miss blogging, more than I thought. Some days I have lots to say, I just don't know if it's positive, or what positive could come from saying it, so I just leave it be or mull it over. It's another of those things I hope to resolve in the coming days and weeks.
