New beginnings

I had a really interesting dream this morning. Most of it isn't all that interesting, so I'll just say the good part. I had a dream that I had left my car somewhere in Denton and was having to walk miles to get back to it, in my nightgown, none the less. Then, in my dream, I woke up to take Ethan to school. Joe was in the living room. His hair was grown out some, but still wasn't back to it's previous glory. He also had a set of crutches next to him because he had trouble walking due to all the nerve damage to his feet. I told him about my dream and having to walk and told him that when he fell asleep, he should come pick me up. He chuckled and told me, "Sure, no problem!" It was kind of a nice dream, and besides being able to spend a little virtual time with Joe, it was nice that I was so quick witted in my dream. :)

I had a second interview about the animal control job yesterday. I had really struggled with whether or not I should continue to pursue this job since it would mean I would have to work every Sunday. After much thought and prayer, I decided to also get a blessing. My bishop gave it, and in it he said that if I was open and honest that doors would be opened to me. He told me after that he didn't know if that meant I would get THIS job, but that I would be blessed for standing for my beliefs and continuing to attend church. See, the problem isn't so much that I would have to work Sunday, cause I understand that SOME jobs must still happen on Sunday, such as Hospital workers, Police, etc, and I could see that if a dog gets hit by a car or something and needs animal control, that it probably couldn't wait until Monday. The biggest problem is that I really didn't want to have to miss church every single Sunday. So when I went in for the interview, I asked right off what the hours were, and she told me 8-5, so I explained the situation to her and said that unless I could come in after church then I should probably take myself out of the running. She said that she would have to ask the Chief, but she wouldn't have a problem with me working 4 hours Friday afternoon, 8 hours Saturday, and 4 hours after church on Sunday! So I still might get the job. I'm supposed to get a call early next week.

Speaking of new jobs, after about a bazillion years as ward librarian, I was finally released on Sunday! And guess what calling they gave me. Go on, guess. Nursery assistant. Oh boy! The most annoying job ever! Oh well, wither thou needest me, Lord, eh?

Typing fool

Just so everyone knows, I am typing this using the correct technique. Which means that is going much more slowly than usual. :) I'm still no typing wunderkind, but it's coming along. Last night as I was laying in bed thinking, everything I thought then got repeated on a keyboard with the keys for the words lighting up as I went through each word. It amused me and I started thinking of sillier and sillier sentences on purpose. I just wish it was that easy when I was doing it fer real. Part of the problem is that keyboard keys are so darn easy to press sometimes I don't even realize I've hit one! The only numbers I can do are 1 and 8, so don't ask me for major phone numbers or math problems.

My programming class is totally easy. The hardest parts are trying to get the school computers to work right and typing, cause I try to maintain proper form and my brain works way faster than my fingers. Mostly cause my fingers have no brains. Maybe I should upgrade!

I thought that the animal control job had been taken out of the running because I hadn't gotten any calls, but then I DID get a call, so now I have to make a decision. *grumble grumble* I hate the idea of turning down a job, but I also hate the idea of working every weekend. Especially the Sundays part. But it would let me schedule classes for whenever I need to, so that would be a bonus.

The big storm that came through blew off major portions of our shingles, so I had to spend Monday on the roof re-shingling. Some fun! I'm still not all the way done, but I got it to the point where it's not an emergency or anything. I do not relish the idea of going back up there, so I'm essentially stalling. :) All righty-roo. That's all for today!
