I know, I’ve taken a while.

God is providing, amidst odds that I don’t really comprehend.  I can understand how my clients feel through simple things.  Such as, Bryan and I are sharing a car, so I don’t always have great transportation.  When you walk to get groceries and walk home, it takes a lot of time.  When my patients have to walk to me…or even take the bus…its really inconvenient to change schedules on them.  They do have time, but when they have time they’re really tired.  It’s easier for me to understand that now.  Not having complete independence really is a little draining.

Other than that, I’ve been doing Big Brother/Big Sister.  I went to pick up my little today for an arranged date, but she forgot!  She was sick today, and stayed home from school.  So, no brownies today- we just talked for a few minutes, and I went home.

Our conversation was rather enlightening.  The normal, “how’s school, how was the Valentines dance, how is life…” Then:

me: “How’s boy?”

her: we’re not talking (this changes every other week)

me: why not? what happened?

her: He irritates me.

me: how so?

her: he just does.

———- Keep in mind they are both 13 —————-

me: oh, I’m sorry.  They get better, I promise…just give them 10 years or so.

her: yeah. okay.

me: yeah, by the time they hit 23 they’re alright.  at least, they aren’t as irritating.

her: Wait, 23!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I CAN”T WAIT THAT LONG!!!!!

me: well, girl..you just might have to.

————————

Oh, to be 13 again. Or, not.

Besides that- I cleaned the house tonight, then enjoyed a blueberry drink with chocolate cake and scrapbooked.  And, I talked to a good friend on the phone. Lovely evening, really.  The house is clean, and I’m off to bed…babysit, internship, class tomorrow.
