Mood:  a-ok

I just drove by my favorite Catholic bookstore only to see that it has closed forever...wahhh!!!  When did this happen?  So many things have been changing lately.

 I went out to shop at the new Target store close to me only to find that they advertise it with a sign, but it has not been completed yet.  It's still under construction.  Gee whiz, why do they advertise it if it's not there yet???  To trick unsuspecting potential customers like me.  Ugh.

I am awaiting the completion of the Kroger store that I like to buy my groceries at.  They started remodeling it when I was still living with the Sisters...  It's been almost a half a year now.  Saw signs that they're hiring people, so it must be close to being finished.

I still can't believe that it's been almost a half a year since I lived with the nuns.  Time's flying by so quickly.  It'll officially be half a year at the end of next month.

I miss the Sisters a lot.  I have a feeling of being far from home right now.  I don't know why this feeling won't pass.

I got my oil changed in my car today.  Went straight from work, thought I wouldn't make it.  It took less time than I thought.  I walked across the street to the local dollar store and bought some glow-in-the-dark stars.  I've been using them to decorate my bedroom.  Ok, perhaps you think this might be childish, but I don't really think so.  I wake up often in the middle of the night and this gives me something to focus my attention on until I fall back asleep.  It's like sleeping under a night sky.  I even put some around my crucifix so that I can see where it is when I wake up at night.  That way I can also keep my eyes on my beloved even when it's dark. :-)
