A brisk walk home for lunch confirmed it- it is cold out! Okay, not Minnesota cold but pretty darn chilly for Northern AZ. In the 20s, but the wind makes it feel a lot colder than that.
Given the outside temps, I was glad to hear that the plans for the Flagstaff Shelter will go forward. Soon maybe, there will be a warm place for folks to sleep. I can't get out of my mind the thought of people sleeping outdoors in this- my dogs don't even want to go outside. I pray that Flagstaff gets it together regarding its' public policy toward homelessness and poverty in general.
The weekend was somewhat eventful- we moved Jamie into her dorm room on Saturday. It is really quiet again in my house. Luke and I are very companionable, and tend to read a lot, whereas with Jamie there is a lot of talking and liveliness. I got used to her being home again, and now she is gone (sorta). We had dinner together last night in the Union, as I was working a late shift at the Reference Desk (6-9pm). So I got to see her new dorm room all set up, and experience the student eating situation. My kids joked about how all the NAU recruiters that came to their school (NPA) said that NAU had the best food. But they must be right, as everything was delish! The heck with the Freshman 15, bring on the Senior 60! It is hard to eat healthy when the healthy options are located right next to the brownies and pasta...
As usual, the first week of classes include lots of little glitches and non-problems that require attention- don't feel like I'm getting a lot done this week, but I will keep plugging away!
I put an ad in the paper to sell my car last week- listed it at Blue Book- and not one call yet. I am anxious to get underway with my debt reorganization, but can't start anything or enter into payment arrangements until I have some cash from selling the car- oh, well. In Gods' time.
Speaking of Him, I am praying that he soften my heart. I am so judgemental and carry a grudge, even though I know that that is not what pleases Him. And I am such a hypocrite (I can't spell it, but I are one ;) I make myself want to throw up. God help me to walk the talk...
