I'm just sitting in bed, going to go to sleep soon since I work at 7:30 tomorrow. I have been trying to do research about different churches and the like in the area. I actually like the ministry of the Believers Church, but there isn't one in the area. As for churches in the area, I do like what I've found and heard about Valleybrook Church. So I think I'm going to go tomorrow night at 6 pm. But for now it's bedtime....

So today after work I bought 3 sweater-skirts (one black, one grey, and one purple/fuschia) and I also now have a pair of black cable knit tights and a pair of ivory cable knit tights. I tried on the skirt and I just LOVED it!! And with it being sweater material and then the thick tights...it should be decently warm for the winter. I'm actually kind of excited for Monday to wear them to class.

I got good news at work! I got Christmas Eve off of work, as well as the 23rd after 4:00 off. Also, I got December 5th and 6th off for Dad's side Christmas and Olde Fashioned Christmas. Now I just need to try and work out to be able to go to Mom's side Christmas.

Ugh, but I have a headache now, so I'm going to go.

So, I've really been considering wearing only skirts. I really want to be more modest and feminine. While searching for different ways to wear long and modest skirts, I came across a site for another woman's blog and she is an "Empowered Traditionalist" I really like that "title" of sorts. Even though I don't agree with everything that is said on there, overall I like it.

Here is a website of a woman who has VERY cute and fun MODEST clothes-unfortunately, being a little on the broke side right now, they are out of my price range. But overall they are not any more expensive than many clothes you see at stores now-but at the same time you are actually getting much more material for your money-because lots of stores charge the same prices for more revealing clothes with less fabric and coverage.

I wish my apartment let us have pets!! I have been getting my "fix" by visiting the Humane Association and visiting the cats and kittens. I like going into the cat colony because the older cats are in there and they just come right up and rub against your leg and beg to be petted and held. But the kittens are super tiny and cute-there is one that is from a litter of 4 and he is the smallest one and his left eye is cross-eyed-just too darn cute!! He's such a cuddler and is content to just curl up on your lap, or shoulder, or in your arms...I wish I could sneak him into my purse and take him home! But I don't have anything here for a cat, and Kirstin isn't much of a cat person...But Jules and I are planning on sneaking a cat in when she lives here next year! So that will be exciting.

And the Vikings won!! 6-0 as of right now!!

So, let's see...I did find out that I have to work on Sunday the 25th-from 10-5:30. So I left a note to see if anyone could work it for me or switch for a later shift or Monday. Today I'm just hanging out, watching tv, enjoying my day off. I'm getting hungry now though, so I'm going to go make some "lunch", haha, even though it's 3:30.

Well after my almost-meltdown, I feel much better. I ended up getting really sick to my stomach later that night and did vomit once-and then felt better-my headache started to fade almost immediately-it wasn't the stabbing pain behind my eyes that it was initially...so I could finally sleep and when I woke up Tuesday morning I felt quite a bit better-not quite 100% but a great deal better. But since then I've had a headache almost constantly for several days...I've tried lots of different things but nothing completely gets rid of it. Don't get me wrong, it hasn't been too bad-just more of a nagging annoyance than real pain. I just am almost forgetting what it's like to be without that nagging at the back of my skull.

But, on to MUCH better news; I can't wait to surprise my dad on his birthday!! I have class and work today, then tomorrow off. I work Saturday night and then have Sunday off. I'm going to church with Megan A. on Sunday. I've been really wanting to get back into that and find more positive friends-that don't drink and go party at the bars all the time. I still really like hanging out with them, but I don't drink anymore-so sometimes it can feel awkward when all they want to do is party and get drunk. I'm looking for something different-but fun. So I want to find a church here that I like and feel comfortable at. I'm going to try this one with Megan...and there is one just a block and a half from my apartment that I'd also like to try.

But, back to dad's birthday; I found out that I don't work on Friday the 23rd, or Saturday, so I'm scheming with mom to surprise Dad. I'm going to call him in the morning like I normally would on his birthday-but then just show up at work and take him out to lunch or something...Mom thinks it will be a nice surprise for him. I hope I don't work Sunday or can switch for Monday or something...then I could stay home for the whole weekend. I will find out tonight when I go to work.

Well, class is about to start, so I should get off the internet. Goodbye for now!

I'm starting to get a little scared. I feel my mind starting to spin out of control. I have had a headache all day today. It is just driving me crazy. I have had caffeine, I just drank an entire bottle of water, I took my contacts out and am wearing my glasses, I took an Aleve and an Ibuprofen...I am tired...so I hope I can sleep it off. My neck has been bothering me too-feeling like I need to crack it, but I can't....I take that back-I can, but only a few times and then it still feels like it needs to crack. I feel somewhat sick to my stomach...I moved my wastebasket over next to my bed. I'm going to go to bed-turn my light off and tv off and just go to bed. Ugh.
