Still a Gypsy

I am in the midst of summer semester. It is pretty interesting, but not what I thought it would be. I will be moving into a house later toward fall. I am looking ofrward to having the space to walk around a bit. The house is in the same neighborhood as the trailer, but it is a two bedroom home. I like the layout of it. Looks very nice on the inside. I am wondering what I will do when it comes time to start putting my thesis together. I do not know what I want to do yet. I am pretty burned out on the whole deal really. It is hard to see the end while you are in the midst of the fight.

are worthless. I would love to say all manner of evil against these wastes of space. I am livid.

I have one day of class left and then I'm free!!! I'm so glad to get this forst semester behind me it's not even funny! I have some little adminstrative things to get out of the way for Summer Semester, and then it's on to getting the paperwork ready for the Fall semester. Jus t happy it's going to be over soon! I will not have to worry about going home on wednesday night, as the doctor told dad that his bypass won't be until Monday now, so I'll go home thursday afternoon. That will be nicer than trying to  run to class and then go to the train station. I get some time to rest and relax. Talked to Dad about it, and he was ok with me leaving thursday, so I won't have to reschedule work again. That has been the worst hassle of all. I will only miss a day of the revival at church, so looks like everything will be fine. God is so real people. His Word is true...I will never back down on that again. His Word (The Bible) is there to instruct, to inform, to comfort, to mend. Give God a chance to work, and you will never ever be sorry. He gives Life to those who seek Him with their whole hearts. His promises are Yea and Amen!

Pastor has taken the timefriday night during bible study to let us know, specifically me, even though he didn't address me personally, I was the one that needed this the most...anyway. He said that often idleness leads to sin, and that we don't need a lot of spare time on our hnds, so I said ok....Now I get called in to work last night. For some strange reason I'm ok with it, when usually I would have been fuming, because Iknow that I need to have my mind on something or be doing something instead of sitting around. I'll be using tomorrow night to work on my final paper and tuesday to do my peer review. Then wednesday night I have another class and then I'm on the train to Quincy to attend to my dad when he's in the hospital. He will be having surgery on his legs, they will be doing a bypass operation. I look forward to him being able to get around much better after this. He has really suffered with his health of late, so I'm hoping everything goes as planned. I'm also hoping that this gives him an incentive to get off his kiester!

I  woke up around two this morning, and it sure it quiet outside. My neighbors just came outside, and it is now 2:45 AM but it is still remarkably quiet. I suppose people are working this week. This is the last Full week of school, and then next week is finals week, then it's all over but the shouting! I'm certainly glad. Want to detox a bit. Summer semester is right around the corner. I'll be takign one class. It's 8 weeks long, might be more, don't know yet. I still need to have the professor working with me  fill out one more form, then that will be set and I'll be going to the financial aid office to get loans for it.

I've got rollers in my hair...yes, I decided I'm done waiting for that perfect in home setup to do hair, so I do it standing up! *sigh* I'm not exactly thrilled at this, I'd like to have a much more victorian setting by which to fix myself up, but this will do in a pinch. I had a near mental breakdown yesterday, due to some reading that was less than stellar. I was studying the MAyan Calander, not studiously, more like reading an article about it, along with some revelations, book of..thrown in...started thinking "life is futile" sorts of thoughts. That's not hard to coax me into, get depressed once in a while. Not suicidal depressed, but like life isn't going anywhere for me. Need hobby!!! So this morning, I cleaned house a little, did some dishes, cleaned out a couple rancid crockpots from my fridge, things are looking up and now there are rollers in my hair. More like hotsticks. Just needed the cleaning to get me moving! Feeling sorry for myself gets too darned old! I have decided food is a great hobby for me, but unfortunately, I'm the only one here, so cooking needs to be for one unless I'm cooking for church. Bread will be perfected with commercial yeast until I get the unction to really mess with sourdough. I will still make soymilk.

Got new canner, new bike, happy with both!!!!!

Rant time. My aunt Lillian passed away this past weekend...she was 91. I read the obituary in the paper and they did not include my father in the list of surviving relatives! That  upsets me because Dad didn't have any choice in this matter, it just happened! The leat these people could have done is give him the place of a surviving familymember, labelled him adopted or whatever, but no! Two of those siblings have done this, and it never occurred to me to look on the others. I suppose this should make me thankful for the Lamb's Book of Life....my name WILL be written in that place!!!

I'm not giving up on the milk. I tried mixing longer and that made a world of difference. the milk as a result looks creamier. Can't wait to try it in some cereal...maybe tonight.

The yoghurt didn't come out the way I would have liked at all. It was rather gross looking, so I'll just stick with milk when making yoghurt. I won't give up on the process though.
