• Tonight football practice was from 5:30 to 7:30, like usual.  For the first hour of that time, I went to the coach's house with 3 of the other moms, and we sorted out and separated everyone's cookie dough order for them.  That was actually pretty fun!  I like those three ladies so it was a good time.  I was also happy about doing it because otherwise everyone had to go to the coach's house right after practice which would have put us getting home even later, and I don't like that.

  Work was sooooo busy today! This was the first day of our flu vaccine clinics.  It had been arranged that I would cover that during the busy time, and then go back and forth to my desk and do my regular work in between things.  They had asked if I could just sit there all the time, but I said no.  I mean...I have a busy full time job as it is, so I'm not sure what the thinking was there to begin with, because there isn't anyone who can cover all of the things I do, but I agreed to try to keep up with both jobs for a short time.  The morning worked well doing it that way, but the boss ended up switching it by noon, because the doctors decided they wanted someone sitting there literally all day long even if no patients are booked, because that way if there is a work-in, it would be a quicker process.  She recognized that I cannot possibly sit there all day every day, so they pulled another girl to do it, and then yet another girl will cover that girl's position, and they will just close the phone booth and operate phones from the front desk.   It really all works out better this way, so there aren't any problems with that.  In the meantime, my shift has been switched from 7:30 to 4:30 so that I can cover here and there as needed.  I don't mind that, it is only half hour off from my old shift and it is kind of nice to have that extra half hour in the morning. 

  I read the forecast on the internet this morning and it looks like it is supposed to stay below 100 degrees for the next 10 days. Yayyyy!!!  I love that!

  I would like to make a sort of... vague comment, I guess you could say.  Without going into specifics, I have a good thing to report!  I have had something that has been nagging at me for a long time, actually off and on for years.  It is about a certain person that I am friends with-but wasn't exactly sure of my true feelings for.  I went back and forth with deciding if this particular person is even a good friend or just one of those people who use others when they need something, and if I should stay in contact, etc.  Anyway it really had been on my mind off and on for a long time, and I was just hit with such a feeling of peace about that situation.  It happened all of the sudden, and I can pinpoint the exact time even...  it was awesome.  I was sitting there thinking about said person/situation, and I remember actually tilting my head sideways like a curious dog, and it just hit me .... this doesn't really matter.  This situation is unimportant.  It is ok to be friendly with this person but to just let it go at that and don't expect more than that.  Some friends are true friends, and some people are just people you are friendly with.... and I think here the latter applies.  It took me such a long time to receive the clarity and peace that I had been praying for about this one, and I'm just so relieved.  I was describing this to my best friend, and while here I kind of think I'm not making it clear what I mean, she understood and said that she thinks it is great that I've been able to just accept it and let it go. 

  25 minutes until bedtime!
