And so it goes. . .
My life is unsettled. . .
My lease ended at the end of August, and I didn’t know where I was going. And so I moved my stuff into Andy’s garage. He also moved at the end of August. He was up in Wausau and is now down in Point. I am so thankful that he is letting me store my stuff in his garage. I am even more thankful that he is letting me live with him for the time being.
I’m working in Adams. This is not the job I was expecting to get after graduating. I know that I can do a lot of good in this position, but I don’t know if I want to keep it. I have resumes out at a few different school districts. I guess I’ll just wait and see what happens with them. Even if I do end up staying the year in this job, I am planning on moving on. I want to be in a school district.
As I said, I’m living in Point and working in Adams. This means I am driving 2 hours Monday through Friday. I don’t mind the driving. I do mind the gas prices. My gaol is to find a closer place to live by this weekend. How I’m going to do find the time to do this I haven’t quite figured out. But it needs to get done. I know I’m not going to be able to find a place in Adams, it’s too small. I’m hoping to find something in the Rapids area. That would cut my drive time in half. And I would still be realitively close to Point.
My sisters and I spent this past weekend in Waukesha visiting our grandma. It was a very relaxing and fun weekend. I drove straight to Milwaukee on Friday after work and went to dinner and ice cream with HMS and JoAnn. I was so glad that I was able to do this. It’s been a long time since I’ve seen any of the Milwaukee folk and I missed them. I hope my next visit will be longer. After dinner and ice cream, I drove to my grandma’s in Waukesha. All of this driving was very exciting for me. It was the first time I had driven to Milwaukee/Waukesha. I didn’t get lost and I navigated rush hour traffic without any problems. :)
I got to Grandma’s and we visited a bit before she went to bed. Jenna and Aimee got to Grandma’s around 1am and we stayed up visiting until 3am. Grandma made us pancakes on Saturday when we got up. Then we sat around the table for hours just talking. It was wonderful. Gandma then made us a wonderful Indian dish for dinner (I’m blanking on the name). After dinner we went to see Crossing Delancy, a play being done by a local community thearter. Also fun. Sunday we got up early and went to church. Gandma showed my sisters and I off to everyone. It was cool to see how proud of us she is. After church we went to a Didgerydoo workshop that was being held at the church. Jenna, Aimee, and I were the stars of the class. I discovered that I know how to do circular breathing! :) After the wrokshop we spent some time at the Frank Mot’s Kite Festaval being held at Veteran’s Memorial Park. On the way back to Gradma’s we stopped and got custerd. It was yummy. And then is was time to go home.
I have other thoughts, but my time is up for now. . . More to come later.
