City in the night…

I’m one of those individuals who spends money when angry or frustrated.  I think that’s slightly unhealthy.

I also go to bookstores when I need to brood.  That is quite unfortunate for my friends who work there…but I come home much happier and slightly filled with feelings of guilt due to my expenditures.  Tonight I purchased “Life of the Beloved” by Nouwen and Twenty Years at Hull-House by Jane Addams.  I also got a cd, Broken Social Scene- you forgot it in people.

This was followed by coffee overlooking the city’s sunset on a little hill outside town.  Quite pleasant, with my “brother’s” company.  We walked the city for a few hours afterwards.  It was a good evening.

My day wasn’t that great, though.  I got called into work- so I made money, but missed church. I got woken up from my nap AND missed the open house for the hospital I’m working in this fall.  I had dessert with my parents, but got into a slight argument with my mother.  Then I tried going to church, but was locked out.  I guess the one random side door was open, but all the other doors were locked.  Who gets locked out of church? Yes, me.  So the pool gathering I was supposed to go to…and get information about at church…was not attended by me.  I have a plate of brownies and soda still sitting on my counter that was intended for the party.

Ah well. I suppose my night turned out alright.  Off to bed I go…
