... and it's Friday.  Finally. 

I don't know how to explain how I feel this morning since I DID get some rest (though probably not enough).  When you lose sleep for a couple of days, it's hard to regain it all back.  I know this weekend will not help me either since our SG will be out and about upstate.  I went very sleepy eyed at around 9:15pm before my sister shouted at me to get to bed.  My laptop was running its thing to clean/optimize (don't know if that will help).... but it was on overnight doing its thing.  Woke up at around 5:45am this morning (besides doing my business), I went to check on the laptop progress, and also did a run on tonight's presentation.....  again, please continue to pray that all things will run smoothly.  My throat and stomach are feeling iffy, but it will not stop me for having some relaxing fun (just need to be careful).  Please keep our SG in prayers this weekend in Lake George/Albany -- the weather, drivers driving, and fellowshipping, etc..  I'm really looking forward to it.

Counting days before vacation: 27 days  (and yes, I really need it).  Summer conference is just around the corner, too.  Save $20 by this Sunday or else..... next Sunday, you'll be paying more $$$.

A blessed weekend to all you readers out there.... whoever you are.... wherever you are or may be.... keep smiling .  Peace!

Been quite busy tackling with the (2) internal auditors from Omaha headquarters.... and I felt like I was going through the "third degree" as I had to explain my processes and what I do for the company from a day to day basis.  It was overwhelming that I had to explain my work story to them.  Not really exciting stuff..... but I'm just thankful that I have a job despite all the pink slips that have been going around.  And honestly, I don't know what outcome will be after these internal audits are done.....

Winding down ... and not sleeping well.  If I don't pass out or faint tomorrow night during the broadcast, then that is a good sign and a blessing.  Tonight, I need to get dinner, pack for my weekend trip & continue tinkering on my laptop  (please pray & hope that my Dell will behave itself tomorrow during broadcast) ....  will finish up with the "last" minute additions to the 725 broadcast  ..... and hopefully, I can get to bed before 11:30pm (or earlier).... then after the broadcast, I will then hand over the Dell unit  to L., who will do a complete "brainwash" to my laptop - inside & out to improve the performance.  L., was right: Vista does stink. 

Counting down to broadcast: ???  hours (sorry, my mind has gone kaput)... and my physical stance is clocked in *snooze* mode at the moment.  So, I'll ramble later.  Peace.

Xanga Question of the day: "If you had one day off, what would you do and how would you spend it?"  One sentence: getting enough rest and sleep (the full 8 hours straight) would definitely be a blessing. 

I guess I almost fell off the other edge of my bed last night.  Though the sleep has been good since it wasn't stuffy in my bedroom.  I slept on the floor Saturday night, and that wasn't a fun feeling since my flooring is the hardwood.  Without a mattress, the left side of my body will ache.... and it's still aching.  My throat is a little better... thanks to Chinese tea remedy (and a popsicle stick ).  Stomach is a little iffy, but getting better.  I know I know - ah Meow should need sleep  (for the past few days my sleeping patterns seemed somewhat out of whack -- part in part is due to my digestive system and those late night dinners).  Anyhow, trying my best to get enough rest and just place my concerns/heart in God's hands.  Maybe the next few nights at my mom's place, I'll regain a bit of sleep.  However, I will not be lazy since I'm "almost" finish with the 725 presentation -- I just need to work on some music pieces and cleaning up some slides.  On Thursday night, I will do a final pass with the presentation on my laptop at my apartment, and pack for the weekend getaway.  Please (please) continue to pray for my time management & emotional balance in all facets ...

Prayer: "Father God, please give me the strength and wisdom to go about each day.  No matter how many people have hurt me whether in word or action, I pray for my emotion to stay humble, be understanding and have a forgiving heart.  The words that were said to me still echo and do hurt in my heart, but I'm learning to let go of my anger slowly.  Please help me be guided by Your Word, and let me be a pleasing child in Your eyes.  I know that I'm an unworthy person, but I really want to show humility, compassion and care toward others.  I continue to lean onto You.  May my attitude and life be aligned with Your teachings.  I continue to pray for the 725 presentation, and hope that the program will be smoothe -- and everyone in our group will benefit from this review program.  Our fellowship is all for Your glory -- not in our vain.  I continually pray for a patient heart in all the facets in my life.  Yes, I continue to place my complete faith and trust in You.  in Jesus Name, Amen."

Emmanuel!
