Back to work tomorrow...
Well, actually, I've been working a little on and off; my coworkers can't be bothered to check the schedule and see if I'm off, and I've fielded calls during the week asking "work-related" questions; I haven't answered all the phone calls, just those I knew would be brief. I got a surprise e-mail from the book publisher Friday morning asking me to provide 10 more proofing/editing exercises for them, by this Tuesday! Seems one of the persons also providing these dropped out at the last minute. Luckily, being on vacation, I could do it for them (hey, for moolah, of course!). Friday wasn't going so well anyway, a little friction around here... then the AD (adult daughter), who came back Thursday night, blew up at me again; just flew off the handle because the porch screen door was locked and she couldn't get in the house... I didn't lock it, I was in the back of the house working.... talk about displaced anger....
I called her yesterday afternoon (Saturday), around 2:00ish, fully expecting to get her voice mail, just to say "I love you." I had the overwhelming urge to just tell her that... with my belief system, I feel it was the Holy Spirit moving me in that direction, to plant a seed in her heart. She answered the phone, I told her I love her, and she profusely apologized to me; I gently reminded her that she should have called me, not I her. She was afraid I wouldn't pick up the phone if she had...I may not have. Sometimes I just chose avoid hearing the excuses for her vicious verbal attacks.
Anyway, it's raining and dreary here. I'm listening to my classical music, my nature sounds music, to uplift my spirits before starting back to work. We didn't go to church this morning, hubby has been battling his asthma all week, and just didn't feel well enough to go out in the cold rain. I never go alone, not to this church; I still feel like an outcast looking in through a window in this class... wonder if that will ever change?
I appreciate your comments of support, they mean a lot to me. ~ Anna
