It's time to recap the week, the first full week of 2012 ( at least the days I remember).
Sunday started out on downward slope but definitely ended on the upside. ACF had Legacy Day and to say the least the planning was subpar. I felt a little overwhelmed and frustrated ( mainly with my self) because how the program was going to pull together was unclear. I dropped the ball and didn't put forth the time and effort to planning I thought I should have. Looking back, I think God was trying to remind me that I am not perfect. I will forget, become busy, etc and not do everything I plan to do. He understands that and already makes provisions for things to come together for His glory. He's always there and prepared to cover for my shortcomings. Our first idea got somewhat shut down, then got a somewhat green light, and ultimately I gave it yellow. In the end I praise God because the final (combined idea) program worked really well. We had a POtL testimony day. The adults shared their stories and lessons we should learn from it. Praise and Worship was......we'll let's just say there's obvious room for improvement. The evening ended with chill family time at the Adewoles. They cooked food over the weekend and invited us over to help them eat some of it. The food was sooo good. My cousins can cook!! Even though, we rarely do anything exciting or out the norm when we go there and at times the awkward silence feels fatal, I do enjoy spending time in their presence.
Monday was time to 'celebrate' the New Year. Which means sleeping in to at least past 9. I started off with about 2hrs in the gym. It wasn't too bad. Picked up one or two exercises two incorporate into my routine. Then I went with Joan to finish returns at the mall and grab a bite to eat. I took an amazing 2hr nap when we got home . I helped my dad organize hos prescriptions from work.Then had to say goodbye to my sister. :-/ She headed back to Philly to finish strong her last semester at Drexel ( hopefully as a non medical student)
Tuesday it was back to work. My supervisor was on his second week of vacation and I had the ongoing task of keeping myself occupied and productive. Fortunately, a co-worker needs help clearing her work desk and a few other tasks. Though I'm not doing anything too exciting, I am doing something so i;m not complaining. One benefit of working with her is that she's impressed with my work and tells the other employees. So a positive reputation is floating around the office about me. Praise God.
Thursday I made a mistake at work that hopefully won't hurt me too bad. I sent out a mass email to people on several membership lists. Unfortunately, I put the email addresses on the "To:" line instead of the "Bcc:" line. I realized my error about 5 minutes too late. I received several emails from people basically saying they felt their privacy was invaded and they didn't like that others could see their email address. I felt awful. Later I realized that emailing lots of people at one time also causes the emails to be bounced back. So I had to redo the task at hand. Talk about frustrating. Thursdays work day just ended on such a sour note.
Saturday- I love these kids!! Such an energetic bundles of fun. They always do or say something that simply hilarious. These two are a definite blessing. I considered it an honor and privilege to babysit them. After a day of errandsand cleaning, I'm happy to end the night with them.
