Yes, another post in one day. I'll probably be posting a lot this next week since I'll have so much free time! It's not as much fun having spring break when your husband is working and your friends are all stuck in college classes and you're not going anywhere exotic. But I'm not complaining. I'll just have more free time which means more thinking time which means more posts.
I'm starting to get over the initial health insurance search craze. Whenever I get on kicks like that I start out by freaking out at the companies and getting upset at all the policies and the little details no one likes to discuss but that could end up costing us thousands later. Then I move on to the financial freak out. Now, I found a policy that fits in perfectly with our current budget. I actually think it's cheaper than our current insurance and it's far better. But I still freak out about finances since money is tight right now. And when I say tight, I mean we might not be able to go out for dinner every week or buy new video games or books or movies every month. We probably shouldn't be doing that anyways and are trying to cut back on our spending. Then I start job hunting once again. And after a few hours of that I get frustrated at the job market. Once I get a Masters degree (if I get a Masters degree) there will be jobs a plenty that are in my interest bracket. Until then, nada. I've applied for a couple positions nevertheless and we'll see if anything turns up. I don't meet all the requirements but there's always the possibility that no one else will apply for the position and they'll desperately need someone. Once I've moved past this stage I get t where I am now, peace. I remember that God has provided for us so far in our marriage and with abundance. He will continue to bless us as long as we are walking to the best of our ability with His guidance. We're definitely not perfect and we do a lot of stumbling along the way, but we're trying. I remember that I have a fun job that will hopefully be bringing in a slightly larger paycheck next year. My husband has a good job and he is gaining more hours so his paychecks will be larger. We'll be fine. And we have quite enough to live off of as long as we spend it wisely.
I'm waiting for one more load of laundry to come out of the dryer and then it will be bed time! We share the washer/dryer with our landlords who live upstairs. Saturday is our usual laundry day and sometimes they remember this... sometimes they don't. Today they didn't so I didn't get started on the laundry until a couple hours ago. Thankfully, since I do our laundry every week I don't have a lot to do. But I decided to wash all our towels and sheets so that was an extra load. I'm tired and cranky and worn out from an emotional (self inflictedm but tiring none the less) day. Bed will feel so nice. Tomorrow is Easter, my favorite holiday. I'm hoping my church service is at the regular time. They didn't say anything last week about it being changed or being a sunrise service or anything.
I just facebook friend-ed (funny how we can change any words nowadays into verbs and they still make sense) a lot of my cousins and extended family. Weird. It's so weird when my aunts and uncles are on facebook. At least my parents don't feel the need to be on facebook. That would just be too strange. Or my grandparents! I know a lot of other grandparents on facebook. I miss the old facebook where it was only for college students. You had to have a college email to be on. Oh well, I suppose it is fun to find family and friends from all over the world on it. Maybe someday I'll find my birth family! I know my birth mother's name but haven't gotten my birth sisters names yet. She always just refers to them as my birth sisters. I asked her for their names in my last letter, but haven't received a response back yet. That would indeed be strange.
Off for a good nights sleep. I'll read some more Moby Dick until the last load is finishes drying. I think my goal of finishing it over spring break is quite do-able. I've read about 100 pages the past couple days. Which is miraculous since the first 100 pages took me about two weeks to read! It is getting much more interesting now that they are actually chasing Moby Dick instead of getting the boats ready and talking about the different kinds of whales. My goal is to read at least 50 pages a day so I finish. I have another whaling book about Nantucket... but I don't think I'll read it. There are so many other options on my book list. I don't feel the need to ever read another whaling books again. One is quite enough.
Good night.
