still waiting

I got my tetanus shot today! For free!!!!! I was going to go to the doctor's office, but when I found out how much the office visit cost plus what the shot was going to cost, I called the health department. It was waaaay cheaper to go there so off I went and when I got there and told them I was going to be a relief worker, they said "no charge". So a big fat thank you to the Rhea County health department.

I'm still waiting for the word that we're good to go, so I've had lots of time to think about why I'm doing this, what I'm going to miss, and how much this means to me.

I'm going to Louisiana because Jesus has called us to go into the world, teaching God's word and helping those who need it. I can't think of any better chance than this to show the love of Jesus to people who have lost everything.

As the new fall season of TV begins I realize that I'm going to miss the second season of Lost! waaahh. I realized this when I saw a preview for it the other day. I'm going to rely heavily on my mumsy to record it for me. I'm also going to miss sleep. I'm a lazy butt who likes to sleep late, and fortunately all my previous jobs have allowed me to do exactly that. But I'm thinkin' that down there, time will be absent and I'll sleep when I can get a chance.

I also paid off my car today. I owed less than $1000 so I figured if I paid it off, that would be one less payment to worry about. Instead, I get to pay on my card for 500 years. But I own my car now! I told my sister that now the engine will probably fall out or something like that, just so it could be spiteful and laugh in my face.

Not much else going on. I'm very boring when I don't have a job. Sorry.
