Day 6: Some Kind of Normal

What I'm doing:
- Talking to my dad on the phone...about paperwork he needs
- Getting Dad his paperwork
- Going to Mass and chatting with old friends
- Sitting in the library, basking in the internets
- Washing dishes and utensils and storage containers and lots and lots of little measuring cups and spoons (I seem to have acquired at least three sets of each, from various sources)
- Hanging out with friends, in a simple (but beautiful) apartment that inspires me to aspire to greatness in my own
- Laughing with friends over an epic German kid's vocabulary game

What I'm eating:
- A granola bar
- Leftover Chinese
- Amazing chocolate chip banana bread
- Cherps and derp

What I'm reading:
- The list of sacristans-to-be-trained
- The covers of some epic programming books that the library won't let me check out because I'm not taking summer classes
- The blog I finally got up
- My news feeds
- A bunch of old notes that I happened across while cleaning up my computer
- Some surveys that I'm doing to try and supplement my (non-)income

How I'm feeling:
- Tired
- Excited
- Happy
- Grateful
- Childlike
- Anchored (in both a good and a bad way)

Goal of the day: Come up with a tentative schedule for the summer...at least until the official work schedule throws everything off.

To-Do's:
- Call Tim Horton's about a job application follow-up
- Call the apartment managers about getting the renter's application back to them
- Call AT&T about the internet situation
- Call my friend about a ride to the store sometime this week
- Call my former roommate about the electric bill that came in the mail today
- Overcome my inherent fear/strong dislike of making business phone calls
- Pay a short visit to my summer employer about the summer work schedule
- Figure out what 'stevia' is, since I seem to have acquired some
- Put away all the nice, clean, dry dishes
- Clean the rabbit cage (and find a new home for her)

I can't tell you all how grateful I am for friendship today. Instead of spending a quiet evening in my apartment, minding my own business (read: either organizing my mess or dissolving into a loneliness-induced puddle) I was abducted by friends and spent a few good hours chatting and partaking of delicious baked (and bagged) goods. Though I fear I was hardly the best of company, being somewhat tired, I had a wonderful time and wish my friends the best! Especially since I had been in the library for most of the afternoon and the early evening, and was starting to panic that I would never speak again. Perhaps I shall start reading the Divine Office aloud...after the wild party my neighbors threw last night, no one in the building has a right to complain about any noise I may make, anyways.
