6:00am...gets up after 2nd alarm goes off.
7:00am-11am/12pm...works in the school storeroom (basically i move 50 lb bags of veggies and make carts for classes. hooray for muscles...it's like getting paid to go to the gym. :-P)
12:30-5:30pm...learn to make bunches of pastries and breads at school. (i was talking about how i enjoy what i do at church last night, and a man said that if you find the right job, you never work a day in your life.)
6:15pm...get home, take a mucho needed shower, eat, chores, school work, and time with jim. :-)
10pm...bedtime.
i've never been so worn out by the end of the day, but also never so happy to be doing what i've come to love. and whatever stress i deal with at work and school, jim always seems to make it better.
"I like living. I have sometimes been wildly, despairingly, acutely miserable, racked with sorrow, but through it all I still know quite certainty that just to be alive is a grand thing." ~Agatha Christie |

“A balanced diet is a cookie in each hand." ~Unknown
"Laughter is an instant vacation." ~Milton Berle
"The heart has its reasons which reason knows not of." ~Blaise Pascal
"We can rest contentedly in our sins and in our stupidities, and anyone who has watched gluttons shoveling down the most exquisite foods as if they did not know what they were eating will admit that we can ignore even pleasure. But pain insists upon being attended to. God whispers to us in our pleasures, speaks in our consciences, but shouts in our pains. It is his megaphone to rouse a deaf world." ~C.S. Lewis |

So...I got back from a long day of school around dinner time, ate, took a shower (what would I do without showers?), and decided I needed to get some groceries and gas. I went to Kroger, carefully picked out the best deals for my food, checked out, and went to the truck. I had three bags in one hand and a gallon of milk in the other, and I needed the keys in my purse. So instead of putting something on the ground (after this past week of culinary school I'm slightly obsessive about germs), I put the milk on the hood of the truck, turn to get my keys, and hear a "dooosh" sound behind me.
In case you didn't know, a gallon of milk literally exploding on pavement makes a "dooosh" sound. So, after I freaked out and asked the milk, in the middle of the Kroger parking lot, not to continue to go everywhere (too late), a lady a couple parking spaces down (who also had splattered milk on her car...I apologized) told me that I could probably go in with the empty container and they would give me a new one. So that's what I did. Thank you nice lady in the car and nice lady at the customer service in Kroger. Pardon my stupidity...who knew that a slippery jug of milk doesn't like the hood of Jim's truck. |

I'm in Atlanta staying with Jim's family (who are wonderful, welcoming people). (As most of you know, I'm not coming back to FC...see previous post). No, Jim is not here. Why am I in Atlanta, do you ask? Because I've decided to go to culinary school here to get my pastry and baking certificate, that's why. I start on Monday. And I...am...nervous. Excited, but nervous.
I didn't realize how much I am going to miss my family until I was through the airport. A little late, right? I'm going to miss my dad's reassuring hugs and wonderful cooking. I'm going to miss my mom's quirks and confidence in me that I'm a good at anything I put my mind to. I'm going to miss Krystal's long talks and Jonathan's cooking. I'm going to miss working with Heather at her library and our lunches together. I'm going to miss my so strong sister Amber's way of finding anything to do to fix any situation, especially with a good (or lame) movie and a hypothetical situation. I know I already went to FC for a year and was away from my family then, but this seems different for some reason...
I suppose I'm going to go take things a minute at a time.
"You keep him in perfect peace
whose mind is stayed on you,
because he trusts in you.
Trust in the LORD forever,
for the LORD GOD is an everlasting rock." (Isaiah 26:3-4)
Yeah. I need to work on that. |
