This and That

I've been home alone so much lately. I have asked my dad to come over and keep me company some days, and usually he will. But I never invited other people over because I was taking pain meds and I knew I didn't make sense when I was on them. They made my head feel funny so I was too embarrassed to talk to people or have people over (besides family, of course).

I finally got to go to church on Sunday. I did pretty good! I started getting achy toward the end of the service, and some of the up and down during the service was rough, but I survived.

I had a friend over yesterday after church. That was extremely fun. We just sat and talked... that's all... for hours. I needed it. I missed her, but I also missed being social.

Today, another friend came over between work and her Bible study. Same thing- we just sat and talked... but it was so fun to catch up with her. (I haven't seen her since her wedding at the beginning of August!)

I have a friend coming over tomorrow. And then I am meeting a friend (I can drive now that I'm off of pain meds!!!) on Wednesday afternoon. And I have another friend coming over on Thursday. So I'm trying to get back into my social life... and I like it.

Tomorrow night I plan on attending a Bible study that is starting up at Elgin Community Church. It's a study on Esther, by Beth Moore. My sister, Molly, had already given me the study guide, but I didn't ever dive into it because I didn't understand it. So I'm very excited to go into a study where somebody will lead it and I will learn and follow.

I also plan to go to choir this week. I missed last week, still wasn't feeling too well.

I can't go to Awana yet. I'm not really supposed to be around kids until the doctor says so. And I see her on the 30th of this month. So who knows. Maybe she'll okay it then. I have to hold off on babysitting too, then.

Jeffrey and I planned to go away this weekend for our anniversary (since we couldn't last weekend). But he changed his mind tonight- in order to save money I guess. I'm a little heartbroken. But I understand where he's coming from, I suppose.

When he's at work all day, I really miss him. I miss having company, but I also miss having him make me laugh or having him here to help me reach something I can't get or helping me do this or that... I always look forward to him coming home from work. Today, he got home, did yard work, we ate supper, ran errands, and when we got home he crashed on the bed and hasn't come back out. I'm sort of sad and lonely. I imagine he's tired, but I just wish he'd spend time with me. It is Monday. And Monday is supposed to be date night. Instead I'm hanging out online- reading people's statuses on Facebook and updating my blog.

Little M's mom called today and left a message- she said Little M wants to know when I can have her over again. No pressure or anything...

I'm still kinda hurting from going through the baby stuff. I emailed the agency to see if there are any birth parents on the horizon... nope. This process might be longer than I thought.

Other than that... I suppose that's all for now.
