To start off, right after i wrote my "hope" post I went to work at the bookstore and watched a member of my bookstore family get fired. Talk about being thrown for a loop. Needless to say, things at the bookstore have been very...tense...and contentious....it's not a good feeling to be in a place that's supposed to have the spirit be filled with contention. it got even worse 2 days later, (also the day I picked up my new car!) when yet another member of the bookstore family got fired, accused of doing things I can testify he didn't do. Needless to say, the contention level went through the roof. It's just now starting to get back to minimal levels of contention. Right now, big changes are happening at the bookstore, we're starting to train the seasonal workers, I'm being made a "lead bookseller" (pretty much I get to be a supervisor, without supervisor pay.) it's gonna be weird telling people that are old enough to be my mother and even grandmother what to do.
Next big change....I got me a new car! One that won't try to kill me!!
I introduce to you....Suby-blu and I now totally understand why some guys baby their cars. She only has 27,000 miles on her....I'm gonna be driving her for a loooooooong time.
And the next change is.....I dyed my hair, and am going to try and grow it out. According to my hair stylist and favorite big sister, my hair will be staying dark, and it will not be allowed to fade. Big sister also said that she will be training Andrew how to properly color my hair and will be shipping hair color to us. I may have stifled a chuckle at the image of Andrew coloring my hair. I just hope she doesn't try to teach him how to cut my hair around my scar tissue, or how to wax eyebrows....I don't think he'd be down for doing that lol.
Theeeeen last Monday, THE ONE FREAKING DAY I FORGOT TO CHECK THE MAIL!!!! and also the day the puppy baby got super scarily sick (when a lab puppy doesn't eat ANYTHING, it's not a good sign.) and the day the little dude ate a granola bar for lunch and then proceeded to spit at me, in the face, after eating said granola bar. My eyes were so swollen it popped my contacts out and I had backward Asian eyes. and of course, I had to go to round 2 of work after having to figure out who could stay with the puppy at the vets and after several failed attempts at getting rid of swollen eyes. A couple hours after I had gotten to work I checked my phone and I had a message from my mom saying I had a letter from Elder Lover Boy. THE ONE DAY I DIDN'T CHECK THE MAIL AND IT CAME!!!!! seriously though, those 5 weeks, and 6 extra hours were totally worth it for that two paged letter. ooooh so worth it. I had been told that letters from this particular part of the land of Mexico like to take forever and a day and then come all at once and then nothing for another forever and a day. And Mexico did not let me down. I got a second letter last tuesday. You know that letter song from blues clues? I was totally singing it and doing the dance. How could I not?? I was just a little excited!
I thought the week of change was over with but then I went to church today. I was super excited that i had gotten there before relief society had started but then I went to pass the bishop and he stuck out his hand to shake mine and said "come walk with me" and all I could think was "ah crap...what did I do..." I was released as visiting teaching supervisor, and put on the activities committee. I was told I was needed to help bring unity and life back into the ward. How the heck I'm going to do that is beyond me. But I like challenges and this one will surely be one!
I feel like i have one more big change ahead of me. I just feel....antsy, like something else is going to happen, something big. I just hope whatever it is will be a good thing.
