Cookie Hooky

Ahh I love me a lazy Saturday, one that’s cloudy and grey so I can feel a bit more justified in my laziness. I’ll say it straight: I am currently hooky-playing. I called in sick for both of my shifts today and that is just ludacris! Saturdays are my money makers! I’m mostly impressed with myself for having done it. Because the only time I’ve ever called in sick has been when I’ve been actually sickly. I remember it, I was sick in bed for three days. It was awful. But today I am very much so well. In fact, I’ve not ever felt better! Except I didn’t go on a run so I’m feeling significantly less fresh – that is, if contrasting the healthiness I feel after having pushed myself unto vomiting (I’m lying). But seriously, I love the I-made-it-home-from-actively-coaching-mylegstokeepmoving (I got bored of putting a space-line deal between each word) feeling, that sense of a miniature accomplishment that no one else cares about.

However, today is one that is absent from any kind of work. I woke up at 6:30 am to attend book group with some members of Doxa where I was encouraged to understanding more of Richard Sibbes’ The Bruised Reed. I sure am glad we discuss the book because there is much that I miss when I read it by my lonesome. It is incredibly beautiful to be lead into understanding by my others who are attempting the same level of understanding.

So now I sit at Starbucks with Pastor Brian and good pal Ryan. We’re working on computer stuff (and by we I mean they, I’m just facebooking) while we wait for the husky game. Mmmm I love me some college football. Not really, I just like hanging out with people and haven’t been able to for quite some time because I have been working nights more frequently. While I love being a waitress more than anything it does suck alittle bit that the good shifts are night and weekend shifts so I miss out on the good hang outs because everyone else works the very opposite schedule. So in my desperation for good conversations and stressless hangin’ I pretended to be sick. While I’m prayferful for a repentant heart in the sin that I committed against Red Robin (Dear God, I’m a loser) I sure am excited to have a day that is free of commitment. Whoop whoop!!
