i'm a sap T.T

i watched the notebook last night (third time now). i tried very hard to change the channel, but a good compelling love story is very hard to turn away. so i cried, and cried, and cried.
and now my eyes are swollen on a monday morning.



must do this.

a road trip is calling...

hectic

its better to be hectic than to not have any work to do. i love you. and remember when its a hectic day it just means that you will have more of God's grace surrounding you.

fear of numbers

i do not like math. i did once in elementary and i was pretty darn good with it.
but when numbers started mixing with letters (read: algebra), it just threw me off the deep end.

anyway, i say this because my class in public budgeting and finance is about to end in a week.
i postponed taking this class. the name itself gave me the shivers--a feeling of disgust and fear.

BUT (there's always a but)

i was kind of surprised how much i enjoyed it. once again, my husband is correct. he told me that i will probably end up liking this class because it's out of my comfort zone--and that's a good thing.

so as i finish my final paper on yolo county's health and human services department, i smile knowing that i learned a lot this past 8 weeks.

i can now decipher a public agency budget!

somber

my lolo francis passed today.

i'm surprised how saddened i am with the news.
i feel heartbroken.
i made him tell the story of his life once. it was a school project-- to interview an older man or woman and write a paper about their life. i wish i could re-read what i wrote. or better yet, i wish i still had that recording. he was an accomplished man who did a lot and gave a lot. i'm very blessed to have known him.

this is a gentle reminder to myself. take nothing for granted dear christie. and love with all your heart.

deep brown wrinkles set
smiling face of wisdom passed
are no more today
