how bout i break it down in terms of news.
good news first. . .
i got a new attorney to handle my financial situation. he is awesome. never wants to see how my day is or make sure i am doing alright. he is all business. a man after my own heart. geez i love that. he follows up or has his assistant call me to make sure i have the details. i have new court date and sadly/happily enough he cost exactly half of what the other guy cost. shop around for attorneys people. i should have!
if i can hang on to it, i will have a decent little savings pot of gold over the next few months. miracle upon miracle, money seems to be coming towards me, not away from me. wierd and a little hard to get used to, but i am beyond grateful.
i have another (hopefully final) interview on may 6 with a bright company i would be proud to be a part of.
there are plenty of things i am sure i will hate about it, but they can teach me a lot. that i can respect for at least 2 years. no laughing!! i know you are. i am growing up, i swear.
i am learning to pray when i am impatient, instead of just jumping off into freak out fest or lay into someone who wont know what the heck i am raging about. it is agony, but usually there is a reasonable conversation laying on the other side of the a couple days of praying out an issue that is poking my side.
bad news. . .
the gutter fell off the side of my townhouse and hit the neighbors deck. the best part is my uber smart (and very wealthy and important, by her own account) landlord sent and email stating that it was too hard to find someone to fix it. instead she offered us $25 to push the gutter (old school heavy piping, not the new light aluminum) away from the neighbors deck. then she would it address it in june, when she comes to remodel our ancient townhouse.
ever since she came up with this delightful recipe for disaster, we have had heavy rain, wind and flooding. every time the wind blows i hear the big fallen pipe rub against the tree its leaning on. it sounds like a horror flick. really wouldnt care, but it will cause so much more damaged if it pushes that tall skinny tree over.
additionally, i have a bit of potomac in my back yard, since the water has no where else to go.
never knew how much i liked my gutters.
honestly, thats about it for bad news. just seems we are all so in between. malia sort of going to med school, but maybe becoming a researcher instead. mari working and in between man friends (not enough drama. usually this keeps us going for weeks!) me moving-ish and finding a new job, while nursing the existing one. lets get going, i say!
Isaiah 43
1 But now, this is what the LORD says—
he who created you, Jacob,
he who formed you, Israel:
“Do not fear, for I have redeemed you;
I have summoned you by name; you are mine.
2 When you pass through the waters,
I will be with you;
and when you pass through the rivers,
they will not sweep over you.
When you walk through the fire,
you will not be burned;
the flames will not set you ablaze.
Amen!
