Vacation Week

Not sleepy yet. Had a couple of naps today. Home now. Home in Coquitlam. Feet tired and achy. Off shift from SDM. Grand opening today (after the reno). Not too busy. Not too many crazy peeps today. Just the usual amount. :)

Why didn't I bring my journal/notebook? I had been bringing it with me faithfully every week. I hadn't been writing. So I figured I wouldn't need it. But of course I do.

This was my vacation week -- the week I had looked forward to the past 4 months. The week I was gonna drive down the Oregon Coast with rc and spend some quality time together. To celebrate. To unwind. Sigh. But that's not how it panned out. I started missing him again. Earlier this week. Missed having someone to chat with at the end of the day. Missed having someone to call my babe, my honey. So I guess it's not really him that I miss. It's having him.

Thursday night, when the emotions were more acute, God spoke to me through a book that I purchased at church a few weeks ago. Sis #1 wanted to read it so I left it here. The words I read were the words my soul needed to hear. He did that so many times this week. Letting me know of His presence. That He has plans for me. Far greater than a life with rc. That I am loved -- far greater than rc could ever love me. Or that I could expect or hope for. He is definitely in my life. I feel His presence. I have resumed reading the Bible. :) Still aiming for finishing 5 books before I turn 29. Looks very doable right now. :) I feel a thirst and hunger to read the Bible. Something I have never felt before.

So my vacation week was supposed to be a week of housework. Well, it didn't happen that way. MA came to see me on Monday. Lunch out then went karaoke-ing with her. :) Indian food for dinner then she stayed over. We talked about stuff. Issues that she has. I think I made her think about things. The next I day I took her to Surrey to head to the US border. Then went on to do my stuff. I was very productive that day and I was so proud of myself! :) Canadian Tire to get my weeder (which I plan to play with next week). RMH to make an appointment with SY. Michael's to buy my canvas (project up ahead :)), Save-On to return my recyclables, then to the acupuncturist. Afterwards, picked up Sis #5 from Coquitlam and also had lunch there. Then off to Old Navy to use a coupon for $75 off $100! I got some yoga pants that are totally hot! :) And sis got tank tops. We were both very happy with our purchases. :) Then to RMH again to chat with SY. After that, home at PM then we headed to the theater to watch My Sister's Keeper where I cried buckets of tears throughout the whole movie! We had dinner at Sango afterwards. :)

It was so fun to have danni around at the house. :) We had ice cream and played computer games. There were times when it reminded me of having rc at the house. But for the most part, I just enjoyed her company. She says she had a great time too. :) The next day, we took the new Golden Ears bridge to watch Transformers on iMax at the Colossus Theater. Lunch at The Old Spaghetti Factory. Then home to Coquitlam.

Thursday, I spent the day watching movies: Bride Wars, Rachel Getting Married, The Memory Keeper's Daughter, The Promotion. Picked up Dan from school then had sushi with her and dad. Friday, went to PM with mom. Vacuumed, did laundry and filed my June stuff away while she cleaned my kitchen. :) Picked up Sock then went home. Watched yet another movie -- The Mummy Part 3.
