trying to be classy

So I didn't tell the jerk guy off. Instead I was polite, even kind. I dare say I almost forgive him. Afterall, it always takes two to tango. Or does it? I certain can tango my way downtown right now and get a drink, and that would be solo, so maybe it only takes one to tango.

I am so exhausted. I pulled off my second solo event tonight. It was an awards and recognition gathering for our literacy volunteers and students. I can't believe everything worked out with how crazy my life has been. At the last minute I even remembered flowers for the other coordinators!
I also was able to book space at my church for a future ESL training after the first site reservation fell through.

Tomorrow I am going to carpool to work, then back to Oly to work as a sub for the lady I am doing caregiving for. Then there may or may not be a meeting I will attend for 25 minutes since I can't stay longer. Also, I need to remember to buy a good bye card for our pastor. I need to somehow get this card into the hands of people meeting at 6:30. I have to be at the lady's house at 6:30. Okay, this is why God invented email and telephones right?!

Also, I am moving out of my overpriced apartment and into a 4 bedroom house with my brother and 2 friends. This way I will only have 275 in rent and bills COMBINED instead of the like, well 700 plus 55 for internet, plus 150 for utilities I am paying right now. Soon I anticipate having a life again and being able to have gas money to do things like, I don't know, go to church. I don't know how I have made it financially since Evan left. In any event, I need to move ASAP, either this weekend or next. I need cardboard boxes. I need to remember to organize people for Super Saturday. I need to remember Evan is coming this weekend to get the last of his stuff. I need to remember to be kind to EVERYONE. I need to remember not to drive to the casino and spent 150 in blackjack like right now, because that would be insane, right?

Really though, things are ok. If I can just pack up my cats, do my jobs, not let the quixote calendar go to hell and somehow find myself in the bliss of the third week of this month, all will be bliss. Well, that's my narrative anyway and I am sticking to it.

Congrats on the new digs!

I have cardboard boxes in my garage. You're welcome to use them as long as I can have them back because I'll be moving soon too! :] (not until late July)
