don't worry; be happy :)

there’s 8 billion things racing through my mind right now, so naturally, my brain won’t let me sleep. AWESOME.

i’m reading a book- “Confessions of a Good Christian Girl,” and i reallly like it so far. when i went to Family Christian Bookstores last week, i was like drawn to it. i read the back and immediately knew it was something i had to read. i started earlier, but was interrupted with work & conversation. so yeah. maybe the reason i’m awake is because i’m supposed to be reading it?

or maybe not! maybe it has something to do with the fact that i just got home from a date. sorta. well, i went bowling with my ex boyfriend. who i conveniently still love and care about. makes things…difficult. anyways, it was fun- so that’s the part i’m going to focus on now.

i worked today, for the klein’s. i stuck around after i was planning on leaving to watch claudia practice walking a little bit on her own. it’s amazing to see the progress she’s made, even in the short time that i’ve worked with her. she was walking between her dad and steve and took a couple confident independent steps without anyone having to catch her! and she balanced without us. i actually thought i was going to tear up. she’s been through so much, it’s amazing that she wants to get up every day and work hard when all odds are against her. she should write a book, seriously.

speaking of keeping a positive attitude, Dan (her dad) went in today for his last chemotherapy treatment in this series. he has a test next week and the results come in the following, telling us whether or not his cancer has come back. i reaaallly hope it hasn’t. dan’s a great guy, and has always been like family to me.

wow, and since we’re on the chipper subject of cancer, i’m reminded that i absolutely must go visit my grandma soon. everyone else gets to see her a lot, and this holiday season has been really tough for her without papa. it’s been really tough for me, so i can only imagine what she’s going through.  i need like 3 more weeks of break to do everything i intended. grrr.

well, i’m winding down. guess i’m off to bed.
