sethrakNext time I buy a new pair of glasses, I'm getting ones that have some red in the frames, I think. Or at least ones that are more easily visible with my poor unaugmented vision. I'm getting tired of needing my glasses to _find_ my glasses. These gold wireframes are cute, but blend in with their surroundings all too easily when I really need to find them and have forgotten where they are. Like when I'm trying to log on the computer and can't see the words without squinting.... ^_^;;;
Today was my kawaii cousin Diane's Confirmation. The whole family attended. For once the Zelinske delegation was dwarfed by the opposing relatives. ^_^ Her Dad's got seven brothers, all of whom wed and produced offspring.
There were only eight kids in her class. It's a pretty small congregation. She was the only girl. She looked so distressingly grown-up, standing there, in her white robe and reciting her lines..... I remember babysitting this kid back when she was still a member of the Barney fanbase. Who gave her permission to reach 15 and get so big and curvy and mature? ::wistful sigh::
The party afterwards at their house was nice. The BBQ beef sandwiches were... bleah... but the cheese potatos and snacks were good. I'm still kinda hungry, but our supply of munchies at home's a trifle sparse. Maybe some of that jar of applesauce. Or if the ravenous brothers haven't eaten all the ice cream... hmm...
I wish I knew for certain if the stupid problem with my work schedule were going to be straightened out. I wish it hadn't cropped up to begin with. It makes me nervous. We've got contigency plans, but... still.... ::sigh:: It _should_ be fixable. It's the uncertainty that gets me. I want to see my loving man and glomp him til he turns blue, not fret and worry about the flaws of a corporate HR department who doesn't know who to set up things before they depart on vacation....
I need the break. Two jobs are stressing me. Wishing I could have a decent income and health insurance and still go back to school, while a logical impossibility, stresses me more. I need a warm pair of Doscher arms around me for a few days.
Oh, well. In the meantime I have bait to purchase and packing to do. And a half-promise from my aunt to do some gardening in her yard on Tuesday. ^_^ Should be fun.
