Why do I love Thursdays?

For some reason, Thursdays are one of my favorite days. They always feel like relieving! I always feel like there is so little of the week left and it makes me feel calm. It makes me feel like I am on the downhill portion of a walk. Well, it is interesting since they call Wednesday ..hump day. It makes sense, since I always feel like I have gotten over the hump! It's not like my weeks are very stressful right now. I am not very busy just due to only having the nanny job right now. I basically take Christopher to school in the morning, hit the gym, spend my day cleaning up the house or doing things for Richard, job hunting, talking to friends, and then pick him up from school and I work until about 8:00 at night. At that point, I might talk on the phone for a bit, pick up a book and read, watch a movie, go out, and usually hit the pillow pretty early since I have been working out a lot.

Yesterday I got to talk to Joel and we haven't really talked a lot lately since he has been out of town forever. We haven't hung out since January 4th and that wasn't even a hang out since he picked me up from the airport when I got back from Indiana. I miss my boy! Anyway, I talked with him briefly yesterday and found out he injured himself snowboarding up north. He fell on his left side and bruised tissue and isn't feeling so great. Please keep him in your prayers for a quick recovery because let's be honest, you can't keep Forbes down! He is a waiter so this could really bother him at work. Just please pray as my heart is burdened for him.

I haven't heard anything from any of the jobs I have applied or interviewed for. I am getting a bit discouraged but you know, I have to trust that God has perfect timing. I am wondering if this is my clue to get going on Grad School and take the time to get my education knocked out. I am not sure the plan at this point and I have lost a little of my footing with some crisis areas but I am sure to figure things out in a month or so.

In other news, today was my last day on my guest pass at 24 hour fitness. I love that place. I have decided to join them as soon as I get a paycheck and can take care of the processing fee and then the monthly dues. I am nervous as I really want to join and be active there. I want to go everyday and work on my body. I have to pray that things will work out and I will be able to join them this next pay period. I hated spending my last day there this morning. I really want to just be a member and have a good time! Oh well, sacrifices are needed some times. Yesterday I had to go and spend the money I would have joined with to get a new tire on my car. It was pretty shot and I am planning a day trip down to San Diego this weekend and I MUST have a good working car for the drive.

I am going to San Deigo this weekend to spend a day with my friend Kevin. He is precious and I can't wait to hang out with him. It will be a fun day. We are going to church together at Kevin's church and going to a church picnic. We are also attending sunday school and hopefully just chilling and learning about each other some more! Kevin is a gem and I can't wait to spend some time with him. Something to look forward to!

Basically that is what is going on in my life. I hope you are all doing well and make sure and email me with updates on your life if we haven't talked or give me a call! Have a blessed day and ~Shalom~ (below are learning experiences and thankfulness)

Learning January 26, 2005:

1. The day that Adolfo proposed was exactly 4 years ago. I got through the day without even thinking about it. I am so proud of myself!

2. I like to walk on the treadmill with an incline. I can almost feel my butt getting stronger and my thighs getting tough!

3. The Bat signal has never been so funny!

4. It doesn't feel good to feel unwanted. I would like to be wanted all the time.

5. People really have a hard time with compliments. I think we should all work on saying thank you and remembering that people mean what they say nicely about you!

Thankfulness January 26, 2005:

I am thankful that I heard from Joel. I am also thankful that he is ok from his injury and not hurt even worse. I am thankful (like he is) that when he fell he didn't break his glasses (because he left his contacts in LA) and that he didn't break his Ipod which is so important to him. I am thankful that Joel is alive and well and he is still in my life. I am thankful for the moments I have Joel. He is precious and a blessing to me! Thanks God for this beautiful man!
