Changes
Well, hello, dear readers. Everything in my life seems to be happening at a very frightening rate, and I feel a little left behind, but hopefully now that Granddad's funeral is over and Mom and Dad are back things will go a little more smoothly.
The funeral went okay, except for the minor hitch that the people folding the flag did a pretty terrible job of it, and it ended up taking them about 6 minutes to get it done satisfactorily, during which time everyone had to sit in absolute silence (a few sighs were audible though, especially towards the end of the 6 minutes).
Also, because there are not enough nerdy things in my life (sarcasm!), Sarah got me hooked on this mmorpg called Kingdom of Loathing. I'm a pastamancer :-)
And a girl I grew up with is in India right now, doing missionary work with street kids. That's what she's wanted to do for a long time now, so I'm really happy for her. And another friend of mine is trying to decide whether to do a masters in musicology, or settle for a teaching credential (violin). And I'm working at Wendy's. *sigh*
And speaking of Wendy's, I'm still pretty ambivalent about it. Obviously, the salary and benefits are great, but it's so exhausting that everything else in my life is getting neglected. I already dread going to work. I feel slow and stupid at work, even compared to the slacker teenagers, and I hate that. Oh well. I guess we'll see how it goes, eh?
