Friday - back to work, game, bday party
Saturday - skyped Lisa, SS planning with Anna, and watched a swell movie.1. Sunday was good - just the relaxing kind that was needed after such a long week. I was thankful for no big superbowl party. I had a couple invites but that was far from what I wanted. It was just perfect hanging out with Anna and her mom after church. Just chill with no responsibility to be overly social.
2. Monday morning I was in training again feeling my head ready to explode. I was directed by the head of the department to sit and watch another person in the department and her first words were, "what am I supposed to do?" Awesome. Now I'm just a nuisance and felt that way the entire 4 hours I shadowed over her. It was then I knew I couldn't wait any longer and go through that again. On the way to school for the game it was in the forefront of my mind but the funny thing with HS kids. The second you're around them, it has to be about them which is just what I needed. My thoughts and actions to be serving them and not focused on myself. On the bus on the way to the game, I decided to text dad and write up and send an email to Uncle Rob. I needed it to be fully off my mind by the time we got to the game. It was the right decision. The game was off - the girls were just off and it was obvious frustration was looming amongst them.
3. Tuesday I almost played hookey as I wasn't feeling well in the morning but knew that would be a cop out to not have to face Uncle Rob. I'm not sure why I was so nervous about it but I was. He wasn't there when I got to work and mid-morning he came over and asked me to come to his office. We chatted once again and he understands where I'm coming from but as I knew it would mean finding another job. God is in control. Tuesday afternoon I had a dentist appointment...again. It had been 3 years since I had last gone in from last week. He didn't say I had a cavity so I wasn't sure what he had to do...anyway, was taken back to the "other" room. Ugh. HORRIBLE. 2 people in your mouth, sitting in a chair for 30 minutes with your mouth gapping open, and to be completely numb. AWESOME...not.Then I headed to school for a scrimmage against the JH. Of course the team ate it up that I could barely talk, yet alone give instructions. It was an embarrassing loss against the JH team which I blame completely on them. Afterward, we went back to a classroom and I had a devotion and some other things to go over. I have sensed some great frustration with each other, so I had each of them get a piece of paper out and write something nice about each of their teammates. I will type them up later and give them to each player with a spiel of some sort. Headed to BSF, which was good but I was definitely off for some reason.
4. Wednesday mom comes down pretty early with an omelet. I'm not entirely sure why but it was delicious especially for the fact that I woke up feeling too sick to go to work. I mostly slept and watched movies all day. Chatted with Anna at night and hit the bed early. Like 8:15 early.
5. Thursday woke up feeling worse than the day before. Awesome. Home again. Slept, watched tv and bummed around. Nothing thrilling. Oh got a call back from a job I applied to. I asked mom "how do I sound" she responded "you sound awful" then I explained I just got a call and I shouldn't call him back because I sound back. She then switched and said I didn't sound that bad...haha, thanks mom. I called him back and we set up an interview. Then Heather (my bsf leader who passed along the job) told me he emailed her and said, "I thought Bethany was a girl, she didn't sound like one." Awesome. I only mildly freaked out and Heather played it off and finally admitted she made it up. Sick Bethany doesn't get jokes as fast. My first thought was that seems incredibly unprofessional but I didn't want to say that to Heather.
6. Friday back to work. Nothing too exciting. The game was alright. We stuck with them pretty well till the refs messed us over. By the end of the first half we had 15 fouls and they only had 5. They were in bonus half way through the first quarter and the first foul called on them was half way through the 2nd quarter. It was unbelievable. From the game, I slowly made my way to Kae and Teresa's bday party. Played some games, ate cake and talked - was a pretty late night. Well past midnight which is sadly late for me now.
7. Saturday I didn't have practice and it was really nice to have the morning free. A night where I could go to sleep and not set an alarm. Absolute bliss - really. Spent a couple hours talking to Lisa on Skype which is really the first time we've talked since she went back in January. It was really good to do more than say hi to her. I decided I should probably get ready for the day, then lounged around a bit - just relaxing. Headed to Anna's house, planned a Sunday school review lesson from scratch on lessons we didn't teach. Thanks West Cannon. Then we were determined to watch The Book of Eli, which I hadn't seen before. SO good and a must watch again. With all the attempts and such trying to watch the movie, it was past 11 before I headed home and a little after midnight before I hit the bed. 2 late nights in a row. I was feeling cool. haha. Another quality hang out with Anna - there's something about having such a good friend in the same stage of life. It's just good.
