I'm Tired
Today was particularly tiring. My energy levels were way down and I don't understand why 'cause I got more sleep last night than monday night's hour and a half.
A new girl joined us this week too. Her name is Booboo. Yeah, her parents are weird. Actually, her name is Clarissa and that's gonna take some getting used to. Yes, I know that she's not The Clarissa, but the name... I'll just have to get used to it, is all. Just pray too goodness she ain't a Charissa.
I'm learning a lot, which is good. Fran is a great teacher. Fast, which is good 'cause I tend to get distracted easily. Oh look! A bird outside my window! Hello birdy! Don't go away! Oh... sucks. Where was I? Right, work.
Alex is hounding me to join him as part of the IT team. I'm seriously thinking about it. I don't know how good I would be but it seems like fun work. I think I'm pretty good on the phone, and I think I'm a good judge of character. I'm no Bill. I mean, I try to read micro-expressions and I've done plenty of book studying and people watching and observing--Heck, I've even read Dr. Paul Ekman's work (and I'm relatively sure the reading-people, detecting lies class Bill attended was headed by him)--but I just don't have the experience of reading people that I would like. But I'm trying and I'm learning.
And I feel like my mind is about to explode. Mom's birthday, getting my finances in order, getting ready for school, getting JR ready for school, organizing my life... it's all so overwhelming. Playing phone tag with the bank people and Fido and trying to find a printing place and finding the best deal on a camera and reading up on mutual funds, stocks, widgets, gidgets and knickknacks, and a bunch of other things I can't even remember any more. I feel I have no life right now. Which, surprisingly, doesn't bother me much. It's like that old quotation, "I've been waiting for my life to start that I didn't realize that I was living it." Living is tiring. But you can't really live when you're dead tired, can you?
Busy is better than the opposite. But busy is tiring. And hunger-inducing. My stomach is telling me to eat. Eating is tiring too. Mmm... tiring cake.

Wow. Arv - I was about to respond with something VERY similar to what was just stated by Dr. Howdy...
He quoted from Ecclesiastes...the very verses that we studied in bible study last night. There IS a season for everything and it's through FAITH that we can position ourselves to receive the favour of the "Supreme Designer/ Architect" of the universe, and of our lives...the very One who knows even the hairs on our head. These seasons are these: Growth, Maturity, Sowing & Reaping. Be joyful Arv. CN once wrote to me, "Be happy to be overwhelmed, your life is full". In fact, this post-it is still on my computer.
