I am a footprint in the sand...
Whew
Man, what a long weekend! I'm so glad to be chillin at home once again...and sitting in front of the comp and wasting my time away... I was gone all weekend because I was on a retreat for Dayz....and man did it totally drain me. Of course, as with all things there were highs and lows...but overall the retreat was a good experience. The thing I most enjoy about retreats is that you really get to spend some alone time w/ your thoughts and your life...and it always feels good to take some time for a lil introspection. And one thing I re-realized this weekend is that I am truly blessed w/ a lot of things in my life, and I need to stop taking so many things for granted. I love being given the opportunity to serve, because I think always thing we could do a lil more service to other people. I also enjoy just seeing all these people again and touching base cuz that's pretty much the only time I see some of these friends, cuz they're far or busy or something...so I take advantage of such opportunities. But like i said, the weekend was totally draining, like 4 hours of sleep max, for the WHOLE weekend...I felt like I was on Spop staff again...man...I'm too old for that...no sleep...probably is gonna prolong my road to well-dom.
I did miss out on a few things though, a b-day party, and the beach...darnit, I love going to the beach...but oh well, the beach isn't going anywhere.
Yet again, I've forgotten all the things I wanted to blog about this weekend as they came into my mind this weekend...I would've blogged about them right when it happened, but there was no computer access where I was...I think I need to carry around one of those lil recorders in my pocket like those journalists, or book-writer people and just hit record and say something everytime it comes up...that way, when I sit back at my desk later that evening for blogtime, I can replay my tape :) Kinda nerdy but yeah, and after a lot of debate the subject, I've come to accept the fact. So there! From now on, as I mention geeky things, I shall not have to add a corresponding remark like..."geeky, I know," or, "Geeky, huh?" or something like that...it can just be assumed that anything I do or say is pretty much...in the realm of geekiness.
Since I don't quite yet have a job, I think I have been given a temporary one. Because sister AND B are now working, and they don't quite have day care set up for london yet, I have been designated as her caretaker, her babysitter, her manny...(male nanny, he he he). Child Technician, I would like to be referred to. So, since mom and pop are here too, and I have to also help pop w/ certain things...it's like a full-time job. So here's the plan...wake up when she gets here, eat breakfast w/ her, then let mom and pop play w/ her as I do my usual internet "corresondences" and job searching for about an hour or 2 and then go back to watching her...so I guess it's cool...I'll be occupied, which is really all I want to be during this time of non-work. And even better...it's with my lil niece...what better way to be occupied than playing w/ a 2 1/2 year old who loves to watch Justice league and read books? Sweet!
Since the day isn't over yet...
here are my appreciations for the weekend...and a few things before that I forgot to mention...
-Seeing your best friend for like 5 minutes and it seems like you guys hung out for 2 hours
-retreats and the refreshing feeling you get after it's done
-total delirium...when everything's so so funny cuz you haven't slept
-quality time
Don't think about timing the jump too long...you might just miss the boat completely...
Whew
