First things first, Hey All!
Yeah, The title of the Post may seem a bit pushy, but it's for a reason.
I've had a busy start to winter. Been running my brother back and forth to college for sign ups, (EMT'S) book gathering and everything that goes with it, (his car was down and I got paid, woo hoo!) and attending his Fire Academy II graduation, and helping out my grandma. Seems grandpa is getting worse with what his dr. diagnosed as dementia. She gets all frustrated and has no one there to talk to. So, I go down and go to the store with her and generally help her get stuff done and give her someone to talk to.
I've also been working on this social anxiety thing that has been looming over me for a long time now. Hence the reason for the semi-pushy intro. I'm trying to take baby steps to assert myself a little bit more every day without worrying what other people think too much.
I don't know when this happened, but I'm working my way out of this box. Social Anxiety- a bad mind game with your own mind. Bleh!
And I'm trying not to let things bother me so much. Just the other day some idiot pulled out in front of us (I was the passenger) and almost hit us. The hooker had the nerve to give me a dirty look the first time I looked over at her. The second time we exchanged looks, I smiled nice and big and blew her a kiss! I don't think she liked that very much. I laughed my head off.
I've been on a quest for wood beads. I'd like to make a mala type bracelet, but every bead I find is either too big, or too small. And all my catalogs seem to have disappeared. I guess I'll have to kick the b/f off this dang computer long enough to surf the 'net for some.
Well, I just thought I'd drop a line and say hi. Y'all have a good day and try not to freeze, seeing as how most everybody is probably dealing with bitter cold temps.
Later all-
Rachel
