| Stress is a word of the past but probably will be coming back in full force in about three months from now. I'm married, out of school for a semester, and working four days a week. The other 3 days off I have all the time in the world to do errands, clean house, organize something or think of how to make extra space in my one room apartment to fit all the extra baby stuff coming. There a few people who have promised to give all these baby things that I seriously don't know if I will have enough space for them. Something is going to have to be moved out. We'll find a way to make everything fit and still look decent and be livable. The baby continues to grow healthily in my abdomen. I can feel it moving so much. It's getting stronger. For a while I was really scared of delivery but I've been reading about it and finding out as much as I can of what I should expect. I'm also registered to start birth classes in Febrary. I'm really looking forward to that, especially since there is a possibility that Joseph will be able to come with me. However, I don't want to get my hopes up too high because he also may have exams to study for the next day and if he goes to the classes he won't have much time to study. So it depends on if he has to study for an exam. I'm praying.
I started crocheting again, very slowly though. I had promised my brother Victor that I would make him an afghan if he bought the yarn. He bought the yarn a while back and I still haven't made it for him. So I have started on that. I also have a bookshelf I want to organize. I want to get rid of all the books I don't want or don't need, either by givng them away to Goodwill or selling them online. The projects are endless. I can think of many things to do and I have no pressure of time in which to do them, except for some which I want to get done before the baby comes. But that is hardly a time constraint. | | |
| Sometimes I wonder what it would be like if I had been an only child. For one, I would have grown up learning to take initiative on things because if I didn't no one else would. Because I grew up with two older siblings a twin sister and a younger brother, I didn't have to take initiative much and I didn't worry about having people around, I always did, especially with my twin sister. The bad thing about that is that I learned to let things go by because there was always someone who would take initiative or always someone I could talk with. Now that I live on my own, I have come to the realization that I isolate and have a hard time taking initiative including in that of keeping in contact with relationships, be that towards my siblings or towards friends. I need to work on that, because as my twin sister very recently told me, it seems like I have fallen off the face of the earth. No one knows what I'm up to. I just want to assure everyone that I am alive and well, still at the same job and finally in my own apartment. I have met a wonderful guy from Kenya and we are dating. Yes. I am dating. God is working intensively in my life and ...well I think that is it. I can go on with details but I'm hungry and have to do some laundry, so talk to you later. Chow! Sandy | | |
| I got the apartment! I'll fill out the paperwork on Sunday and then it's done! God is great! Throughout my search for apartments I went through over 30 apartments, calling all them and visiting a few, all the while I had been praying for God to let me find one that is "bueno, bonito y barrato". I almost closed the deal on two before I got to the one I have now. I'm glad I didn't. I just had to wait a little more to get my prayer answered. I can't move in til July though so I'll be living with my older sister for a month or so. That should be fun. | | |
| I will know by tomorrow if I get the apartment or not, the guy said he probably will but he's trying to get of my second reference first to make the decision. I'm praying really hard that I get it... Karen is coming tomorrow! I can't wait! Friends are a blessing from God! I love them all! Lately I've been having a lot of trouble sleeping. This night shift thing is messing up my sleep patterns really bad. I will go to sleep and wake up an hour, two hours or a maximum of four hours later and be wide awake. I've tried to make myself sleep again but after two hours of trying and then waking up after an hour I've decided it is futile to try and now try to sleep when I can and if I can't, I make sure I have some coffee for when I do get tired but have to stay awake. | | |
| I am now in good terms with Angie, the nurse I talked about in the last xanga post. We've had a few discussions of that included our views on various topics. Although we have a lot of different views, some of them are actually quite similar. She has a very strong character but a loving heart. I look forward to the nights working with her. I haven't quite found anywhere to live at but there is one i sent an application for, I really hope I get it. | | |
