Does anyone happen to have an extra $350 lying around? Anyone?
I didn’t think so. Oh well. That’s how much it’s going to cost to fix the cruise control in my car. It’s been out for a number of months, and I finally got around to calling a few places until I finally found ONE place in all of Columbus that even works on such things. And they charge $350 dollars. Yikes! I don’t think I’ll be getting it fixed very soon. *Sigh*
Anyway, on to happier thoughts.
I’ve decided that it’s time to stop sulking now. After reading Gail’s weblog from earlier in the week and doing a good bit of thinking about things, I’ve decided that I’ve had a good long pity party for myself, and now it’s time to get a better perspective on things. I’ve discovered that I have to give myself permission to sulk every so often, but I can’t let it go on too long. It’s now been long enough. So thanks again for all your prayers and hopefully my next report to you all will be “real” good news.
I actually did some work for CU yesterday. I have some files to rewrite and programs to set up, but I’m in pretty good shape already. Love that! Classes at CU will start on Wednesday for me, but I start grad classes (sorry, Terri!) on Monday. I’ll probably miss kick-off of the OSU game on Monday because of that, but “C’est la vie!”
It’s still freakin cold outstide. For some reason, when it gets this cold, our garage door won’t go down. It’ll go up (which is good), but then it gets stuck on the curve of its tracks when it tries to go back down. Eric can pull on it as it’s coming to help it by…but I’m not sure I can reach it. So now I have to decide whether or not to leave the house today. I was hoping to run some errands (maybe spend $40 in gift cards at Victoria’s Secret!), but they may have to wait until tomorrow now. We shall see…
Happy Thursday to everybody!
Rhetoric. So…is rhetoric necessary, or is that a rhetorical question?????
I’m glad to hear that you are feeling a little more at ease with everything! we’ll continue to pray for you!!
a. At least semi-annual!
b. I
cruise control.
c. I always wear more than my underwear outside, so VS or not, I’ll be warm!
d. 2 classes: teaching writing and rhetoric
e. We’re just hoping that OSU does actually play football this year (unlike last year!).
A. Pity parties are a semi-annual necessity
B. Blow off the cruise control
C. NOTHING VS sells is appropriate for the weather…stay home!
D. What classare you taking this semester?(I’m feeling very strong today….I can take it!)
E. Ohio State is playing football????????
I’m glad that my pity party post brought some good for you. I almost erased it. I felt self-absorbed writing it. Anyway, I see now why I didn’t! Love you!
And bummer about your cruise control. It IS a luxury, not a necessity, but it’s a luxury that I enjoy immensely!
I say stay inside with hot chocolate! It’s REALLY cold!
Does Victoria’s Secret sell long underwear?
It seems appropriate dress for frigid temperatures. Prayed for you again just now to have peace during this time of waiting/trusting.
Grad school is not as conducive to skipping as undergrad. However, since it is the first day, there is a decent chance of getting out early!
I wondered about that…. too bad!
^ Or you could wait until the clearance sale after the semi-annual sale. ^
Do NOT leave the house in this weather if you don’t have to.
Skip grad school for the game.
FYI: the big semi-annual sale is going on now at VS, so it would be a great time to go spend your gift cards!
