This week has found me smack in the middle of a scholastic dilema of sorts. I have found myself going head-to-head (in the most respectful way of course) with my Biological Evidence Professor, who also happens to be a Lieutenant. I won't bore you with the details, however I will say that I find myself surprised at my tenacity over this issue. Okay, I am very self-aware. I know I am very Type A. I know I am a bit obsessive about my grades, etc. I get that. And in really thinking about this issue that I've been dealing with, I've come to realize that it's not over ego, it's not about me being right, it's not wholly about my grades, rather it's about what is just. It consumes me (right up until my anti-anxiety pill kicks in.) :) I presented my case, took it to the next level after not receiving the result I wanted and in the end, the issue got resolved to my satisfaction. The point of my sharing this with you? The point is that for a few moments I began to doubt myself. I wondered if I was really making a mountain out of a mole-hill for no good reason. My instincts told me to persist, but a little, uninvited voice planted a seed of doubt. What I learned was that I have to always trust myself. From now on, I will.
Moving on to the rest of this week. Well I am looking forward to it. I am treating myself to nail services tomorrow and my husband is off of work, so he and Gunnar are getting "groomed" at the salon. Tomorrow, I'll whip up some chicken vegetable soup (as I do every week.) It's a perfect staple to have on hand. When I want to snack, I grab a bowl of veggie soup. Since Fonzie's not a fan of the veg., I'll make some BBQ chicken for him and the kids. I adore cooking and am happy to have my family to cook for. I well remember the days of being single when I rarely cooked because cooking for one is harder than one would think. Overall, this has been a good week, one that I will definitely file in my mental Rolodex for use on future dates.
Tonight, I sit here catching up on e-mail, Facebooking, and watching the hour get later knowing that Fonzie and I get to sleep in tomorrow. The kids are content watching a movie before going to bed. Fonzie's watching ESPN (no doubt) and I can sit back and catch up on the latest book in my Sony reader. I'm in no rush, and it's the most delicious feeling. Today,...tonight,...life is good. My cup runneth over. :)
Merry Christmas 2024!
