The Events that are: My Life

Things that go on in my life that cannot be catagorized somewhere else, sort of a catch-all

40 Days and 40 Nights

I just realized I only have 4o days left until I return to Colorado. I’ve added it under my countdown list so you can be sure to know exactly how much time I have left. Despite the fact that I don’t have that much time left, I have to say that I am looking very forward to going back to school. There’s all the friends I have, my house mates, my house, Mines Internet Radio, school, sun, snow, family. Sigh.

Who is Janet Burley?

Well. I really don’t know much about anything that goes on any where. I often use the an example of the circle, Andrew, and Andrew outside the circle. That examples applies here as well. Anyways, Brian says they’re “going out,” but Mom and Dad have not idea of this…until now.

Donating Blood at Puget Sound Blood Center

I scheduled an appointment at the PSBC to give blood again. I was some how also able to drag my dad along. Everything was pretty much the same as last time, although a lot less busy. Based on what happened the last time I gave blood, I had some more sugars before I donated. Toward the end, I could feel my body getting more stressed and shortly after I had topped of the bag (but the needle was still in), I began to feel hot. So I calmly alerted the nurses that I wasn’t feeling so well. They rushed around a little, got the needle out, gave me some ice packs. Pretty much the same symptoms as last time, but less severe and occurring sooner. For next time, they advised that I alert them to what has happened in the past so they can give me ice packs before I begin the donation. I think I’m also going to try listening to some music.

Smokin’ a Bowl

Out of the blue, Nathan Fihn gives me a call. He, Alex Blue, Case Blum, and Charlie Lakatos are down at Dahl playfield smoking and want to know if I care to join them. So I says, “Sure. I’ll be down in 5 minutes.” I grab my tobacco pipe, some Scottish Delight, matches, and my smoking sweatshirt and head down. We talk. They try my pipe. It was fun.

Note: re-reading this makes it sound like it might have been marijuana we were smoking. I don’t recall what they were smoking, but I don’t think it was marijuana because I’ve never really liked the smell. So I think everyone was smoking tobacco of some sort.

Jeff, Marissa Get Commissioned

Jeff Staples, along with Marissa P, Jessica Lehman, and several others were commissioned at church tonight. They are the new interns working in Children & Family Ministries (CFM) for the summer. I also decided to join Staples as a leader for the entering 6th grade boys Sunday Evening Kids Club. Heh, I remember when there was only one Sunday Evening Service at 6pm.
