Where to start?

There seems to be a lot on my mind right at the moment.  First there’s work stuff. I didn’t get that position I applied for.  They had such a great response that they’re now offering interviews to those candidates they found most suitable.  No interview for me.  I’m disappointed but not terribly surprised.  On the other hand, I’m reminding myself that I need to trust the Lord.  I have to trust that if I didn’t get it, it’s not where I’m supposed to be.  Mostly at this point, I’m ready for all the limbo to end and for me to land in another department already.  I’m either going to land in another department or I’ll make the decision to find work elsewhere and land in a different company. Either way, I’m ready for this particular wave of uncertainty to end.

Our home teachers came tonight.  Our home teacher is actually our former Bishop who is now in the Stake Presidency.  Usually he has one of the Youth from the ward with him, but tonight his wife came with him.  It was suggested I start going to University Ward.  I’ve never felt the need to go to University Ward.  But I did promise I’ll pray about it, which is what I’ll do.  And then I’ll do what the Lord asks of me.  Between the distance from here to University Ward and how much I love my ward, I’m not going to just go to University Ward.  But if the Lord wants me there, then I’ll go.  If the Lord wants me there, then that’s where I’m meant to be.  If I’m going to trust the Lord where work’s concerned, then I’ve got to trust the Lord in all areas of my life.  So I’ll pray about it and we’ll go from there.

We were going to head to Illinois this weekend to see my grandparents. However my mom remembered that she has stuff to get done for the Relief Society Dinner & Broadcast this weekend, so she wouldn’t be able to go.  My dad wasn’t real thrilled about being gone all day Saturday to begin with (he gets home tomorrow night after having been gone nearly two weeks and will leave again bright and early Monday morning).  Since going to Illinois kills Saturdays, he wouldn’t have much time with mom. Plus, it’s hard to go down to Illinois these days.  My grandfather’s memory is really bad and is rationality isn’t any better.  He’s always been rather ornery but from what I understand, it’s really bad now.  I had brief thoughts about going down myself on Saturday as I haven’t been down since Labor Day but I don’t want to deal with my grandfather on my own with my grandmother.  From what I’ve heard from various family members, my grandfather is even aggravating my grandmother these days.

I did get my $250 incentive for changing my hours in August.  I’ll be heading to the mall tomorrow. Apparently Christopher & Banks is having a sale right now that’s worth at least looking at.  I don’t know if I’ll get anything.  Most of their stuff that I really like won’t come in for another few weeks.  In terms of color and style, I like their winter stuff the best.  Oh!  The other thing I wanted to mention is how much I love Skinit stuff.  It’s how you personalize the outside of electronics.  Essentially it’s a big industrial strength sticker 🙂  You can personalize what’s on the sticker too, whether that means picking one of their many many designs or uploading your own.  They’re easy to apply and they have them for all kinds of devices.  I bought one for my laptop and I LOVE it!  I also bought one for my iPod touch, but it hasn’t arrived yet.
