thank You for the chance to live again
i will run only for You
clouds had gathered all around my head
but these hands, they lifted me
(deliriou5?)

sunday. saturday night i was begging that it might come off better than i feared, better than practice. that i might keep my focus on God (where it was supposed to be anyway) rather than the situation. so somewhere between then and 9 am, i made a decision: to do that - focus - to the best of my ability. and it worked. it was hard, still, but i felt closer to where i am supposed to be in relation to my loving, holy God than i have in awhile...
monday. i slept late, as befits the first weekday not working at a good-riddance kind of job. i made myself some toast for breakfast (eaten with blackberry jam, and grapes on the side) and a nice cup of white tea. these i enjoyed - savored, even - with my daily dose of webcomics. and then i made the call. and here's where i copy/paste what i said in my email to leslie. (tallyho, blockquote!)
tuesday. that would be today. i slept in again. did laundry. took out the trash. went back out to my parents' house. worked my upper arms for a bit (holding ella). ate good food. dragged my mom out to the knitting group at church. it was fun. (: looking forward to tomorrow. it's like having multiple saturdays in a row.
so as i started to say at the beginning, i've done the math. i can survive without a paycheck until the end of april. that's not to say i'm planning on that, by any means. but if it comes down to it, i can. and God is good.

...he said it wasn't that i wasn't qualified, or that he didn't think i could do the job, but he was concerned about my lack of experience - which was pretty much what i was concerned about, anyway. he was really nice about it. some encouraging words - one of the nice things about dealing with real christians... and told me that if they needed a second administrative person sooner than later, he'd definitely consider me for it...so then i went to my parents' house to hang out and eat dinner with them. which was great. pray for my mom if you think of it. her little sister's in the hospital...

...or maybe you just don't live in a college dorm. I see the pizza dudes every night, standing down there in the lobby, being a silent but listening backdrop to a million different conversations.
Peace.
mmmmm.... good morning Alyssa.
have a good day, and call me if you want to hang out this week.
