Jan. 26th, 2008 10:33 amFor some inexplicable reason I'm not stressed out about the million things to be done.
I think part of my calmness is due to the fact that in this past week more than any other I've realized how amazingly blessed I am in my friends.
There's Lynette who is buying one of my paintings so I can afford new glasses.
KatieJacobs is making me a dress... a CHEMISE DRESS... after I realized I couldn't make myself something for the ball.
Gill who always offers to share her food with me when I can't afford to buy lunch.
And I'm really enjoying becoming better friends with one of the newer girls at work. She's a student at GVSU also, loves literature, and has spent the greater portion of the last five years in Ireland where she feels much more at home than here in MI. She's also the first Catholic I've ever met who is a fervent Christian and deeply in love with Christ. It's so refreshing to talk with her... there are things we admire and long for in each other's demoninations, and though I would never become Catholic and she would never become Protestant, there is still that common bond.
At the moment I have a great deal of tender feelings towards her, because she gave me a small package of cookies and chocolate and Lemsips and cold medicine last night when I knew I was coming down with a cold and had nothing at home for it.
And now I have to brave the elements to go change the oil in my car, pay a parking ticket, pick up a book I left at work, go to Calder to paint until seven after which I'll run down to KatieJacobs to try on the dress before coming home to study logic. Ho Hum.
