Always sumpthin'

I am writing this from one of my favorite coffee shops, while using a friends computer. This is one of the first times I have had to really relax. So life has been a little crazy, okay a lot crazy. Last week, well it was two weeks ago now, between both of my jobs I worked at least 15 hours everyday, for 6 days straight. My job at the club, demanded the majority of my time, working a 17 hour day, an 18 hour day, and a 15 hour day (yes all in a row). Then I got sick on top of it all, probably from a lack of sleep. This week was slower. Now I am going to be honest, the pay check was nice, but the work was hard, and stressful. I am not big on Christmas, and beings that these were all nice Christmas parties for people, I found it even more difficult to keep smiling. I wonder why I do not like Christmas, well I don't really like holidays in general, but Christmas is so in my face, and for so long, and so many people actually like it, that they look at me like I am abnormal for not liking Christmas. Anyways I don't know if that will ever change.

This last week was slower, but had its own set of stuff. We had a big wind storm, with a fair amount of damage. Lots of down tress which took power lines out with them when they fell. So at 6pm on Thursday the power went out. Now I am used to this and can cope, but it was two days before it came back on, and it was cold. Fortunately there were places, like work (job number 2), that still had power. But I spent a couple nites in a very cold, very dark house all by myself. Finally last nite the lights came back on. Now this is not such a big deal, but interrupts life's little convinces and comforts like heat and coffee, the internet, radio and tv!!!! Starbucks is close and was used a lot, I have to be honest.

So I woke up this morning warm and ready for my hot shower, yeah! I decided to go to church, I actually wanted to go to church, so it was not that hard. While at church I thought what am I doing here, my heart is not really in this. The message was good though, something that has been on my heart for years, how God cares about social injustice, and how it affects poverty around the world, and where there is poverty there disease and sickness running rampant. So after church, since it is on the other side of town, decided to take advantage of my location and do a little shopping. After a couple stops, I left the store, got in my car, and it would not start!!! What, everything was just working, and fine I thought. I just had the brakes fixed yesterday. Luckily I now have a cell phone so I was not completely stranded. So I made a couple of calls, then it just started back up again. Good I thought, so I will just go home and have someone look at it. Well a couple miles up the road, it just died again, in the middle of traffic. I happened to be by the mall, so traffic was horrible, but some nice guy came and helped me push it out of the way, into a parking lot. So more phone calls but everyone is gone, or busy. Then I ran into a friend who stood in cold looking at it for me, but couldn't really do anything. So I called a tow truck and rode home with my car sadly following behind us. Then I remembered that I was suppose to be doing dinner prep (for the students), and I was late, but it all worked out, and it was not so bad. The weird part is, I am indifferent about all these experiences. Normally there is an emotion or feeling attached to everything, but not these last couple of weeks, just indifference. That is unsettling to me. I guess that indifference is an emotion or feeling, but it is a scary one to me. Well you probably stopped reading this a long time ago, you don't really want to hear about all my happenings in life. It is time to go, the coffee house is closing now, and I have run out of things to say. What to do with a car I just got, and has been nothing but problems to me, fix it or can it, advice anyone??!?!?!?!?!?!
