So I’m continuing in my quest to keep myself busy, and integrate myself in Houston life. Yesterday I spent most of the day hanging out with my mother-in-law helping to get her house ready for my mom’s visit in mid-February. We are cleaning out and redecorating Mike’s old room so that Mom will have a room all to herself when she spends her two weeks here. We went out shopping yesterday just to price some things. We found a GORGEOUS bedspread at Tuesday Morning, which pretty much is where things that didn’t sell get sent, so everything is like 70% off. The one I liked was $199 – after the discount. Yeah, it was that nice, too. We didn’t pick up anything yet, we just looked around. There’s some nice things out there, and we’re really excited about it. It’ll give us a project for the next three weeks or so.
Today I put my name in to help with some secretarial work at the church we go to, Sagemont. I’m also thinking about joining their choir, so practice is tomorrow at 7:15. We’ll see how it goes, anyways. I was thinking about doing a Bible Study as well, but I don’t really know which one I’d like to be in so it makes it difficult to choose one. Maybe during the fall I’ll find one. I’m just trying to keep busy these days, I want to find things to do and really I’m thinking that as long as I keep busy I’ll be ok, and if I make friends it’ll just be gravy. Or frosting. Whichever food topping metaphor sounds better (I’m leaning towards frosting). Anyways, we’ll just see what comes up out of it. I’ve got plans for most of the next week so that’s fantastic. I always feel better when I’m out there doing things. For now I’m going to play it by ear and bide my time until the work permit comes through.
