Tuesday: green peppers

I remembered what my thought was from yesterday, although it really isn't that profound. It is that I've started enjoying green peppers in food. Growing up I never really had green peppers, but a few months ago I started putting them in my breakfast burrito. And then I put them on my Subway sandwich. And then I put them on my own sandwich. I'm working my way up to eating them plain, but just haven't had the desire to do so yet.

Only one more day of work! I have something kind of big due though, so hopefully it won't be too stressful. It's actually something small, but a big step for me. I'm supposed to be helping people by doing this but I'm not convinced that they couldn't have done it faster. Sure, it is one of those things that just takes some time to learn, but the idea behind giving it to me was that several people are out this week and I was the least swamped person.

Monday: pilly

So I've noticed that some of my lighter (vs. heavier) pants seem to be getting a little pilly by where the crease is when I sit down. I've never seen this before on any pants...is there any way to get rid of it or at least stop it from getting worse?

I had something else profound to say, but I can't remember it. Maybe tomorrow.

Friday: stripes and mice

Today I wore a shirt with blue stripes to match the blue wire I was working with.

Announcer: Let's see what the interesting conversation is today...

Ben: I use the side mouse button to cast my spell.

Amanda: I found out that my mouse was on my desk again last night.

Blank stares from everyone.

Amanda blankly stares back.

Dusty: oh, you mean a real mouse?

Ben goes into a laughter convulsion.

Amanda: yeah, it left me some presents on my mouse pad. I never thought about it like the real mouse being by the electronic mouse.

Ben: I was wondering where else your [electronic] mouse would be.

Thursday: lame?

Today I did a lot of unrolling, measuring, checking labels, and rerolling blue wire. I knew I was going to have to do this yesterday, so I wore a blue shirt so I would match the wire. Lame? Maybe.

Tuesday: a row

I have a row done!

Monday: and here we go again

Today they announced some significant company reorganization, and with that came the announcement of more layoffs. Oh joy. We don't know how many, although we do know the number will be announced early January. There could also be some relocations for people as some of the business may be moving to different locations.

It's really hard to put into words how I'm feeling. I'm frustrated because I want to feel settled. I'm annoyed that I will have to listen to people talk about it for the next 2-3 months, even though no one knows anything. I'm sad that people will have to leave. I'm happy we didn't buy a car. I'm afraid that Ben and/or I will get laid off. I'm wondering why I worry more about selling the house than leaving friends (although I think it is because selling the house would be more stressful).

And above all I'm trying to trust God that he will take care of us, like he always has.

Sunday

I tried the spice tea made with lemonade today. It tasted like hot iced tea with lemon. Not bad, but not good either. I'll be sticking with the Tang.

The computer room is really hot and seems to be sucking all the heat out of our bedroom, which is really cold.
