mistake

I just got back from some business meetings for the company I work for. I had been looking forward to one thing, how they were going to lay out some changes.

Here’s where I went wrong. My boss’s wife wanted me to go do something with her because she was bored. Boss said go. What is worse is that it was in my best interest. She wanted to take me shopping to get a dress for me for the wedding. So I agreed to go.

Now I get back to work today and I have all kinds of questions that I would have known the answer to had I been at that part of the meeting. Most of the rest of the meeting was good, but not necessary for me to attend. The part I missed was THE most important part for me to have been to.

The good news is that I got a dress for me! It is purple. wife had me try on stuff for much younger prettier person, because she is young and looks like a model. I tried a few on and determined that if I was going to show that much, it should look good. ew.

got interrupted, sorry!

Anyway, I ended up getting 3 dresses (actually skirts with tops).

BUT, the problem is, I missed a very important opportunity to be informed. Now, all these customers are going to be calling me and asking me questions, and I am not sure HOW we are doing this. Our co is making major changes. I mean, I am very, very pleased to have found these dresses, but I am going to pay the price. I am paying it now.

Sigh.

Also, this week was a week of fasting and prayer among those I go to church with. I decided to take that seriously. So, I fasted all day Sunday and well into Monday when we got to the meeting location. THen I ate. And ate. And ate. Oink. Oink. And I ate all day Tuesday, lots. So today, I am fasting again. I felt like I should probaby eat while there becuase I did not want to draw attention to myself, and I certainly didn’t want to pass out or anything like that. So, today I am doing ok not eating. I am hungry, but it is actually not as hard as Sunday and Monday. Of course, it has only been one day. I plan to fast as much as possible until Sat PM. I decided to allow myself fruit juice or V8 and that is all. I know it is good for a person to fast from time to time, physically and very much so spiritually. Emotionally it can be a bit extreme, but so far I have been ok. Except for regretting missing the meeting. Oh well. C’est la vie.

faith hope and love, but the greatest of these is love.
