Hey:)
So, this position has no set hours, which is different from what I originally thought.
Also, I now, since yesterday, have a chair. THANK GOD FOR CHAIRS!!! The soreness has been minimal since then:) Hurray! And I don't imagine I'd appreciate that if I hadn't gone three days chairless.
Looks like this'll be a 7 days a week gig, so overtime is almost certain. So far this week I've got 16 hours, and that's with 5 days to go! Yee-haw:)!
I feel like I do nothing but eat, sleep, and work, but that's OK, I know. I get annoyed at times thinking of all the things I'd like to be doing but can't because I'm working 8 hours/day, then I had the realization that this is what most people do... Well, this is my first job like this, so cut me some slack:) It's a good experiences, one way or the other.
Besides, I am a productive member of society. And I like cherries. And I spend eight hours a day thinking, singing, and thinking and thinking and thinking, plus a little praying, plus a little chatting with my coworkers. It's nice:) Very like vacuuming in some ways: noisy and a lot of solitude. Only with a lot of other people. Does that make sense?
OK, going to bed. Goodbye:)
Oh, sad thing: Megan goes to work before I get up and to bed before I get home:`( So unfortunate.
Other wonderful thing: I will be housesitting for my aunt starting Friday. That = mas dinero--praise Jesus:)!
Nathaniel: I had a dream about you last night. You should ask me about it:)
Okay, bye:)

Cerezas!
Hey, all:) Started cherries today. A lot of standing up--round about 6 hours of it. Not looking forward to that part. Neck hurts from looking down, too. But overall, I liked it. I don't know if I'll keep liking it, but it's a start:) I sang a LOT of songs, made up random poems in my head which I sadly cannot remember, and prayed a bit. Ooh, I made up a joke to! So, when are cherries heartless? When they're pit-i-less! Haha! Yes, I know, I'll keep my day job. Or whatever you call a 1 PM - 8 PM shift. OK, totally supposed to be in bed already--didn't realize what time it was. I practiced guitar for a while, waiting for my mom to be done with the computer. Didn't pay attention to how long. OH!!! More good news: I got $2200 from school in financial aid!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yeah, baby! I am so excited about that--PRAISE JESUS!!!:):):)!!! It's a wonderful thing, for sure. Last time I was notified, it was $700, which sounded great compared to last years' amount--I think that was $311 or something like that. But $2200 is phenomenal! Our God is an AWESOME God, and he is Jehovah Jireh:) Never stop trusting that he'll provide everything you truly NEED.
Fare thee well, adieu, gute nacht:)

P.S., World
P.S. to whatever I wrote yesterday. Or was that the day before? Anyway, here's the important news of the day, and yesterday:
1) I am contemplating cutting my hair shorter than it's ever been--which you know is pretty darn short:)
2) I am starting sorting cherries either this week or next week--I'll find out a day in advance. Yay! Pray it goes well/I don't get motion sick/I can handle it:) All good, no matter what--Jehovah Jireh:)
3) Yesterday I saw a guy driving a tractor. The tractor was towing a wagon-deal-thing stacked with hay bales. On top of the hay bales was a dog--!!! Crazy, huh?:)
4) I went out to Cowiche Creek Nursery today with my mama and grandma. The sell dwarf lemon trees for $52.something. I want one. You have to bring them indoors in the winter, but it'd be worth it, as long as the tree lasted. I would make lemon butter and can it, if I could:)
That's all there's time for. I'm in the process of getting pictures from Sally's wedding off facebook--it's magnificent:) Yay friends and digital photography and photo-sharing!
Luvs!

Contemplating Future Kitchen Creations:
Julianna got an apartment and can move in July 1; therefore, she's been talking about food options on a budget.
Nathaniel's dead broke and going back to Cali tomorrow, (stopping in Portland overnight, so back in Redding on Wed, actually) and thus has been talking about the economics of food and such.
Megan's housesitting right now, so she was also figuring out what food to take with her.
All this talk of food is a) making me hungry and b) causing me to think, even more than usual, about when I finally have control of my own food supply and what I shall make and eat. So I decided to make a list of semester must-haves, or if you prefer, musthaves:) Er'hm:
-Pinto beans: cheap and make simple, delicious refried beans!
-Avocados: are simply amazing and useful in so many forms! Mash into guac and add a few other things (tomatoes, onions, lemon juice, cilantro?) OR slice half and put it on toast (maybe even add cheese!) OR just eat it plain OR ... :D If you claim not to like them, maybe you just haven't prepared them properly--some say adding salt makes them better, too. I encourage you to experiment:) And, hey, they're good for you;)
-Brown rice: also eay to prepare, and let's face it--it goes with just about anything. Really.
-Chicken: every once in a while, at least. And there's too many things to list that make chicken good. OK, just one--honey baking it. Prepare a honey/mustard/I don't remember what else mixture to put over it, then stick it in the oven and let it bake for an hour. The sauce is good over rice (previously noted as a wonderful side) or, my favorite, oven-baked potatoes. And since potatoes take about an hour in the oven, you can just wash 'em up and throw 'em in next to the dish containing the chicken and honey mixture:)
-Peanut butter!: Discussing a protein made me think about peanut butter, the staple protein for those of us lacking money:)--and it's darn good, too. Preferred type: Adam's creamy peanut butter with NO SALT ADDED. It's just pure peanuts--YAY!!!
-Hmmm...what else? Lots of fruits and vegetables. Carrots, bananas, romaine lettuce, mushrooms, orange juice, potatoes (they're dirt cheap--how could you pass them up?), oatmeal, the occasional pasta, milk, maybe cheese, the occasional box of sugary cereal, the occasional carton of any kind of ice cream--I'm really looking forward to it, obviously:)

Caught
Caught,
between the conflict--
Ripped,
between the two--
Confused,
and yet delighted--
Unsure,
and yet amused.
The sides
are two so different
and I
must find the balance--
Harmony's
the goal;
Equilibrium's
the challenge.
See me bridge the chasm,
speaking to my selves.
One
side is a child;
One
is an adult.
Got
to hold together--
got
to find the balance--
got
to find the way to be
ALL the things
I ought to be.
Got
to be responsible;
Got
to be myself.
Got
to be a child;
Got
to be an adult.
