Stephen’s Space

…. and god must really love me and watch out for me at the same time, which I am certainly thankful for.
I have avoided 2 bad accidents for the last 2 days because some idiot on the road doesn’t know how to drive or is in a big hurry to get nowhere. It started yesterday at lunchtime, I was coming back from Pal’s on Old Gray Station Road and this girl decides she wants to pull out right in front of me causing me to lock my brakes up and leave a nice little skidmark. Needless to say I was very pleasant towards her after that.

Then today I’m heading home to meet my wife for lunch and this jerk decides he wants to be in my lane and dang near hits me head on. I locked up the brakes again and was pretty shook up by it, and he drives by and waves. Yea. Like that made me feel better. I don’t know if he was intoxicated or if it was a simple mistake, but rest assured I made the JCPD aware of it and they can decide…..

Let’s hope I make it home in one piece for the rest of the week….. this really freaked me out!

I’ll never forget this awful day. I watched the events as they unfolded on MSNBC this morning, it was the same channel I watched the day that it happened. I remember being on the phone with my mother and we could not believe what was happening before our eyes.

I hope we never see a tragedy of that scope here ever again.

Well my attempt to sleep a full night last night failed, I slept pretty good until about 0100 and then was wide awake till about 0430 or so. All I remember after that was waking up to the sound of Christy’s alarm clock.

My first full day back at work. So far I am doing real well. Really really tired, but I will make it nonetheless. It will be nice to have a week of normalness ahead of me, I didn’t mind working nights, but it got to be a drag after a while.

So I absolutely did jack shit today. I was supposed to attend the homecoming at my Mom’s church, but I just didn’t feel up to it. I think I upset her, I hope I didn’t. Tommorow will be interesting. It will be my first time back on days in over a month and a half, I hope I can sleep well tonight. I was sleeping ok until about 3AM this morning, then I got up and wrote a little entry on here lol. I ended up going back to bed about 0530 and couldn’t sleep, so up I was at 0645 heading to Wal-Mart to get some breakfast items.

Breakfast was good, I made some scrambled eggs, biscuits, and some brown sugar cured bacon. Christy got some homemade jam from her friend Jonathan’s Mom, it was absolutely delicious.

So my accomplishments today have been absolutely nothing. Looking forward to this week and to our wedding. And a much needed vacation after that!!!!!

I swear night shift will be the death of me. I was sleeping pretty good in bed and then I just woke up with a splitting headache. I am just thankful it is over for me for now anyhow.

Man…. 6 days before my wedding. I still can’t believe I am gonna be a married man next Saturday and bear the title of “husband”. I couldn’t ask for a better woman though, Christy hon, if you read this, and I know you probably will, I love you dearly with all my heart and I can’t wait to be joined together with you. I never thought I would see the day that I got married, not because I didn’t want to, just thought I would never have the oppurtunity. That changed when I met Christy in December of ‘03. We have pretty much been together since that time, it just seemed to work since day 1. Sure, we had our fights and almost broke up more than once, but throughout the whole process we learned to take the good with the bad and found out there was more good in this relationship than ever will be bad. I am just really thankful that I have the woman of my dreams…..

I get to go to my Mom’s church today. I have mixed feelings, this is a church where the pastor wouldn’t marry us because Christy was previously married. I never really did like this church anyhow, but hey it’s for my Mom, so I’m doing it to make her happy. Besides, there will be lots of food to eat after the service, and I like to eat!!!! I need to get back to god anyhow, I haven’t attended church but once ever since I started nights. I go up and down with it. I’ll save my feelings for that in a future entry.

But here is the real question, Will I hit level 40 with my WoW character before the end of October!!!???? lol, life will turn somewhat back to normal after our Nortel stuff is turned up, I am so thankful I am going back to days as of tommorow. I will also miss the entire cutover, but that is OK, I’ve been through many before. I look back on how much has changed in my job over the last 5 years and there has been a lot that happened. Fortunately, I made it through 2 rounds of layoffs, I hope I never see another one, or worse, become one of it’s victims.

So that is my 3 AM rambling for today. I am finding this to be a good spot to catalog my thoughts(well duh) lol. Till next time….
