Adjustment

I did something out of the ordinary today. Instead of doing as I always do, carefully weighing to pro’s and con’s of every major purchase and almost always ending up without, I shut my brain off. My boss’ wife bought a new Mac and it came with a free printer and a free ipod touch. When he offered me the touch (at a reduced price) I jumped on it… even though I already have a newer iPod. This event goes against all logic, all rational… Yes, I was thinking about a new PDA, but maybe when the old one died- maybe after I had my finances totally in order. I bought something on impulse… something quality… this is so not like me.
I suppose it’s all alright as I am working a lot more this week. While I won’t be getting overtime, I will be able to comp a day… so I can save it for my vacation time next year (and not worry so much about losing half a paycheck!) I decided to put my new little friend to use… to remind myself what I could be doing with my Saturday- and what I have to do.
As sad as it is to know that my creative energy must be saved for another day, I am thankful for the job and for the hours. By getting out of work around 9 this evening, I actually got to see the sunset! (for the first time in… a while!) I haven’t seen some of those colors in a sunset before… the splendor of God’s creation never ceases to amaze me!
Even though things feel a bit crazy right now, I know this season will pass fairly quickly. I am excited for the kids who have yet to see their new high school… and I am excited to be a part of such a neat organization- even if I lose my 3 day weekend ![]()
