Late night reflections

I've been busy...yes, employed! That's a great reason to have skipped out on blogging. I am going to be making another trip to KC because the Mass scrutinies for the catechumens are so important. It's worth the inconvenience, the gas money, the interruption in "days off" to go. There will only be one time that I will have this special moment, this initiation into where I truly belong, as a convert to Roman Catholicism. Laura Ingraham once said she just felt it. Yup, so do I.

There is still stuff from my car I need to take back into my apartment. I still haven't done that. I also need to gather up all my tax papers to get my taxes done tomorrow. I have always been late with that for as long as I can remember. Without exception, I have always filed my taxes the first or second week of April. I still don't know why. I expect a return and well, it was always my money. Of course, who is the government to not pay back on the interest they had on it the whole time? Of course, I digress.

It's been exciting. Scary, uprooting, at times mildly painful, but never uneventful.

I hate mornings. I hate forcing my rested body to jolt itself, mentally and physically, from the bliss of a soft bed. I will have to get up at the crack of dawn to drive back to Kansas City. I love the drive, but again, I hate the initial waking up. It sucks. The morning light looks unkindly to the opening eyes of an owl, especially without some sort of caffeine or similar stimulant.

Ah, well time to grow up and so what grown ups do--which is things we don't want to do.
