Work was busy today. I was looking after patients in the ICUs today. I always find that it reminds me that the people on the news are real people … real people, sometimes with a long stretch ahead of them. Those are the stories you never really hear.
It was also snowing heavily today. Many inches of snow have come already – a few more overnight.
I locked my keys in my car after work. I’m not sure how, because Eleanor is supposed to have some sort of protection against such an event … I was sure the doors are not supposed to lock when the keys are in the ignition until she goes into drive. Ah well, a nice lady actually let me into her house to call CAA. There are nice strangers in the world. An hour and five minutes later they showed up. I didn’t really start to get cold until about 40 minutes into the wait. At least the inside was warm.
So then, after missing my belly-dancing class that I was going to skip anyways, I made my way home and had a nice long bath while listening to Christmas carols in the background.
A beautiful silent night with the snow softly falling.
“Where have you gone?” cries the consciousness of the single female.
Speaking with a friend this evening, we came to the hypothesis that all late-20-something straight, single men have left the province. Perhaps they are in AB, BC or ON? Is so, should I come find you and relocate my life as I know it?
No longer do we see our male peers in church or in small groups or at grocery stores. Perhaps they have been kidnapped and are being held hostage? If so, please let me know what the ransom is.
Does anyone know where they have gone?
Yes is snowed … white is everywhere. I guess I should leave early for work today.
I won tickets to Chicken Little, a T-shirt and the soundtrack on the radio this morning. I correctly identified the “Come On Eileen” cellphone ringtone on the radio. Frankly, I don’t think anyone else was awake yet. I’ll have to find someone to come with me and perhaps go to the late show to avoid masses of children.
It is supposed to snow tonight. A whole two inches. The previous snow has melted, but I’m not really looking forward to more. However, I’m also trying not to complain since I realize many other places have received much more snow.
That’s all. I’ll let you know if it actually comes.
I went to small group tonight. I long to delve fully into the group but it’s as though there is something holding me back. I know that I can trust them, but I simply have not allowed myself to do it yet. And I only really decided in the past two weeks that this would be the church that I’d settle down in for the next while.
I’ll also let you know how this goes.
My new job is a bit frustrating … trying to figure out the process to do what needs to get done and trying to figure out what exactly it is that needs to get done. Hopefully things will be flowing a bit more by Christmas.
Again, I’ll keep you in the loop on this one. (Where does that saying come from, anyone? “to be kept in the loop”)
I’m a tad tired. So I’ll end this rambling post and tuck myself into bed. Best wishes for your own refreshing slumber.
