at the moment

I feel like God is playing a cruel joke on me. I have little faith in the matter that beseeches me at the moment. There are no answers to the questions, only a desperate hope that is fading. This roller coaster is no fun.

Frivolity

We sometimes have interesting conversations at work...
To summarize:
Why do people say "assless chaps"? By definition, chaps are assless. If chaps had an ass they would be pants. Now if you said "assless pants", it would make some sense, you would conjure up an image that probably would look a lot like chaps. But "assless chaps" is just silly redundancy.

Beginning again

Yesterday, I started running again. Yesterday, I started going to the core class that the County offers at lunchtime again. Incidentally, starting both those things again on the same day makes for a sore today. I was pleased to be able to run about 2 km after not running consistently for 5 months and not exercising at all for the last two months. I also started praying during the day again. Little prayers about all sorts of things. I'm not sure why I stopped but I'm happy to be going again. I'm feeling pretty good, I feel like I've turned over a new leaf.

Rant perhaps inappropriately or Why IV

I'm working on doing the charitable receipts for my now defunct church. I am so annoyed with people. One is not supposed to be bothered by this when being the treasurer. Mostly, I'm not but every now and then I get annoyed. "Why don't we have enough money in the church?" "Why aren't we doing anything?" "Why...?" The people ask. Perhaps, just perhaps it's because YOU aren't contributing. 13 regular tithers can only do so much. And I was generous in counting the regular. They might say that they don't have enough money, to which I would say one of the least financially able gave regularly. It wasn't a huge amount but it's better than those that gave nothing. Well, that's enough of that. Back to my receipts.

Why III

Why did the lady in the waiting room say it doesn't hurt? I had what I hope is my last laser eye surgery today and it hurt like hell. In fact, it was the most painful one yet. I had to ask the doctor to stop and then I burst into tears, which is embarrassing. Almost 400 shots. It hurt right at the beginning too, enough to make me flinch. Apparently, she made some shots right near the nerve. She apologized for causing the pain but was very consolatory, of course that's not what she is like. On the up side, she thinks she got it all. I go back in 6 weeks for a follow-up. I feel a little ill; it could be the pain. I think I'll go lay down for a bit.-

Why II

Why do people talk over me? Am I really that boring, is what I have to say not worthwhile? It really doesn't encourage me to talk any more. Or maybe I really am boring and shouldn't talk anyway. Hmmpf.

New Words

I learned some new words yesterday and today, I feel so proud.
lugubrious - sad or gloomy in an exaggerated way
misogynist - one who hates women
prodigious - extraordinary in size, amount, extent...
And I picked up a new word for scrabble: xeric - of, pertaining to, or adapted to a dry environment.
