I first want to send out my condolences to Josef's family and friends. I barely knew him, just having met him before I left town, but I will remember his kindness. I am saddened to hear of his passing and I wish I would have taken the time to get to know him. I am sorry that all of my dear friends in Eau Claire have to experience another loss this year; it just doesn't seem fair. My heart is heavy for you all.

The rundown. . .

The day sorta started out badly. I didn't feel good, my phone was freaking out (I accidentally called Alicia at 7 am. . .twice!), there were annoying people on the bus, and there wasn't much to do in the repair shop. Things began to get better when I took a coffee break & the coffee dude across the street hooked me up with 2 extra shots in my drink. Yes! The headache subsided & the fun began. I was able to get a lot of chem cleans (or Globo-chems as I like to call them) done on all of the University of Idaho horns & still had time to goof around. Yes!

Probably the best part of my day was the great talk I had with Benny. He called me out of the blue just to tell me some things that he had been working on & how it might help me. We talked for quite some time & I felt really good about myself afterwards. He is one of the few people who REALLY sees me & can articulate how he feels. I'm glad he's my friend.

Also, Ez said that his school didn't get my resume that I sent a couple of weeks ago, so I'm going to resend it tomorrow. I'm kind of glad they didn't get it, 'cause I thought they were ignoring me. Apparently the school is short staffed & is looking for some people. I really hope I get the job. It would be great to work at the same place as Ez.

I just wrote a paragraph, but then erased it. I think I'll send an email.

Okay, time for bed. Sorry the entry is all over the place; that's just how I'm feeling.

Love.
