It's one am
It's one am and I am tired but cannot sleep.
A long time has passed since I have blogged; some of you may find that to be a relief, and others might wonder where I've been. If you care, you know my email address and you can email me...or call me...to see where I've been.
Things are looking up at work. I do tasks now that are suited more to my skills and talents. It's such a relief to be doing something that I am good at. To be stuck in a job that you hate, that's a dead-end job, that makes you feel like nothing but a cog in a giant corporate invincible machine...is there anything worse?
The Dude and I went on a date (a real date!) Saturday night after my shift at the store. It was very nice. First to dinner at Tony's in the Art District (despite what some say, I like it. I also like Provino's. I suppose that reveals my gauche taste), then walking across the bridge. We walked all the way to Clumpie's and had yummy (and expensive) ice cream. While on the bridge I spotted 4 Covenant students...they were wearing Ghetto and Covenant Soccer T-shirts, so it's not like there was some great aura about them. We chatted with them and were pleasantly surprised at the lingo we share.
It was a very nice evening. But now it is back to the grindstone. The Dude is in the midst of Final Exams. Yes, it's so busy and pressure-filled around here. But school will soon be out and we can have a change of pace.
In other news:
Mom and Dad, Sister and Brother-in-Law, The Salt Family, and The Aunt --- all together for a whole week. I can't wait!
We watched the last episode of this season of 24 tonight. Jack saved the world again, but how will he save the world this January??? To be honest, I really do not care that much, but The Dude does. So there you go.
And one more:
She's in Uganda with Dr. K. (No, not Dr. Death, non-Covenant-College readers. Dr. Krabbendam, a tall Dutch theology professor of ours who has achieved iconic status on campus.) I dropped her off at the airport. I miss her. Soon she will be home and I can call her. Sadly, she has graduated and I can no longer hang out with her, unless she settles somewhere in this area. But calling works great, and I'm so used to only having phone contact with my loved ones, so she will fit fright in.
Oh, so on this date with the Dude, the River was achingly lovely in the dark with lights and lights reflecting wetly off it. I love that part of living here, and there's a lot I love about living here, but my family is so dang far away.
