Mum’s birthday meant a day of feeling pretty guilty – was I spending enough time with her, was I being a good enough daughter, was I doing the right thing… and it’s been hard, but it’s time for bed now, and the day could have gone a lot worse. I bought a bit too much today, and it’s been therapeutic in a sense as I rarely go shopping like this. Also, it helped to buy stationery for my brother, who’s starting at university on Tuesday.
Stationery stores help to calm me down. I don’t know why.
Classes start tomorrow. ARGH! I feel like I’m so unprepared for it this term but that’s mostly because of the new job and adjusting to all of that. I’m sure this is the place God needs me to be at right now, and it’s been reassuring to have that particular discussion with one of my friends. He has repeatedly affirmed me in my faith and my role as leader at the youth group, and his presence comforts me.
I’m listening to some Red Hot Chilli Peppers right now – they always put me in a goodish mood.
