May 6th

It has been a couple of emotional weeks.

• a good friend at work left -- "retired"  -- I miss her (very sad)
• my son moved out -- I know he is on the right path (sad..happy)
• school -- (tense, tense, ouch)

But...

• My son is marrying a great gal -- she is very good for him, and he makes her happy.
• and... I got an A in programming !!!!!
• and... after the fact, I found out that I didn't have to take my Marketing exam: I'm getting an A- , unless I got a better grade due to taking the exam!

Going with my mom and daughter to the movies -- got to go!!

Almost time to get ready for school.

I had weird dreams last night. A mixture of war, and reconciliation. I specifically dreamed about one who embraced me with open arms, and another who shunned me.

So much for eating Chinese, and watching an emotional war movie.

I watched "To End All Wars" last night for the second day in a row. It is such a powerful movie.

I woke up at about 3:15 to some really bad storms. I was concerned about my daughter spending the night away and waking up with the storm. I was also concerned for her, and the choices she may have been faced with. Peer pressure, values, and possible nightmares from her choices. As usual, I played solitaire on my palm til I could fall back asleep.

So much stuff going on in my life right now: work stresses (do I stay or do I run?), spiritual struggles (do I stay or do I run?)... wow, there seems to be a theme here. At least I'm not looking to run away from home right now. Improved communication is a wonderful thing. How do I take this into the work, and spiritual?

It will be a busy day. Wish me luck on my quiz. I got an 84 on the last one, and I have some extra credit that I can do to get 10 more points. I want to do a lot better on this quiz. I'll just take my time, and read the questions carefully. I really do know this stuff.

Love to all.

Okay, so this is my first blog.

Going to see Chronicles of Narnia. I'm looking forward to it.

I'm glad I have off work until next Tuesday!!! I'll probably waste a lot of time. But I hope to enjoy every minute of it.

I'm starting to get bummed out, I think my class is going to be cancelled. They still have not posted the syllabi. More of my ambivalence about college. I want to go to school. I love to learn. I want to get my degree. It's hard. It's rewarding.

I'll write more later.
