It's about 1:30AM, getting up early tomorrow, and I really have to pee. Perfect time to post.
One of the things I asked for this Christmas was a jewelry box. I'd been keeping my jewelry in various, sometimes surprising places, and had consequently lost track of some of it. I figured by now I had enough "nice" pieces to warrant an actual jewelry box. My mom actually bought two and had me pick one, and tonight I was sitting in my room with my laptop, alternately talking to Ryan, untangling necklaces, arranging things in the new jewelry box, and getting up to search for pieces I had forgotten about. I realized not too far into the project that I had a heart necklace from each of the serious boyfriends I've had in the last 5 years (there have been 3), and one of them took some searching to track down. Then I got to wondering where one of the other gifts from the first boyfriend was, and then I started wondering where the first boyfriend was. So far I haven't found the necklace/bracelet, but I think I did find him. On myspace. I'm not a stalker.
Things have been alright. My blood pressure is unforunately still on the high side, I think, (it's hard to say because it skyrockets when this one particular nurse takes it, but can be almost normal at home), and as of next week I'm officially off the bc. A little while ago I heard what sounded like the front door open, which is not good because everyone's home, but it turned out it was actually my parents' bedroom door. I found my very sleepy mother in the kitchen. Tomorrow morning we're going to a mass in Waterbury for her father, who died....probably about 25 years ago, maybe a little more. It's at 7:30. I like church, when I go. My personal belief if that the presence is always there if you believe it is, and whatever rituals, songs, or pretty windows and candles you use to get you that much closer to it, sure. I find some comfort in the Catholic rituals - like I'm connected through tradition to something established and wise. Here's my thought - religion is a man-made construct designed to keep us in touch with our spiritual sides, and to keep things in order. We have laws and consciences for order, so whatever you choose to satisfy your spiritual needs (provided it doesn't harm others), cool.
G'night.
