February flew even though work was slow. There is something about relying on others to get your work done...that when you really need to get it done, they don't send it too you. So I was asking for BOS work to do since reports weren't coming in. February was also a little fluey with the odd day I'd feel really grot and then fine the next...but it did finally take over me and I found myself horizontally under the duvet for a weekend.
Car problems seem to be it so far this year...two and a half months into the year, two different car problems. First was a petrol leak....just what you need when the price of petrol is going up!! I filled my tank the Monday lunch time, since the price was going up, and by Tuesday morning I had lost over a quarter of a tank. Needless to say, I was not a happy chappy...and even more so when I had to pay the bill to get it fix. Today, just over two weeks later, I had no power driving home from work in the pouring rain and my car was jerking. I think John, who was getting a ride home with me, was praying the car wouldn't stall and that he'd have to push it home. When I dropped him off, I heard a really horrible noise coming from the engine that you cant hear while driving, so I got home, called my dad to come help me, popped the bonnet and there, on the cables, were sparks flying!!! As cool as it looked, the sparks, my heart dropped. Most likely I will have to replace the cables...YAY (not). Hopefully driving to work in the morning wont be a shocking experience... ...then right now I'm actually hoping my car will start in the morning! And I'd be even more happy if the sparks disappear so that I can wait till next month before I have to replace another item on my car. God's in control right!
On a slightly lighter note, I am still *kinda* enjoying the challenges of BOS. Last week and these past two days I've worked on it quite a bit...and have made mistakes but I'm learning. I'm still excited about the change and challenge ahead and will at some point conquer! Yesterday I think I got a few more grey hairs thought (sad but true...still in my 20's and I have grey hairs appearing...much to some peoples entertainment) cause I wasn't totally sure of what I was doing....and today I worked only on BOS but felt more "in control" and understood what I was doing. Taking it one day at a time.
Sunday I played guitar in church. I was really nervous, made mistakes...thankfully I didn't have a mic on me or anything so people might not have heard...but LOVED it. I sat Sunday afternoon thinking about it and just had to thank God just for everything. Saturday I had played 9 games of squash with Ryan...and over three years ago I had foot surgery unsure if I'd be able to play any sport let alone squash that takes a lot out on your knees and feet!! Sunday I got to play guitar. I got to spend the weekend looking after my brother's dog and house so got some down time... ...so yea, I had to thank God cause He's given me so much even though, like today, I'm more focused on the negative... ...which is why I'm writing this, to keep me focused on the the positive and remind myself that GOD IS FAITHFUL!
So that's it for now. Me, being me, I have to put a picture with a blog so that its a little more exciting. Since I didn't go anywhere exciting the past month...I'm putting a picture I took last year in Cape Town. Oh to be on the beach taking pictures again!!
P.S. I hope you're watching the Cricket World Cup!! GO SOUTH AFRICA!! We are now into the quarter finals and I'm really hoping that my next blog will be about us winning the world cup!
