Also a non-April Fool's zone

So I get back from lunch, casually load my friends page, and see that Shana and Phillip are engaged!!! Congratulations, guys! It's about time! Though, Phillip, you could have chosen a day when everyone was less wary. :D Yes...one by one, the LJ girls I pray for weekly are finding great men. Prayer is powerful. Hang in there, girls. :)

So far, today is a better day. Yesterday got increasingly worse, work-wise. By 5:00 I was practically in tears of frustration. I went home and talked at length with Kathy, and then went to band practice. I'm so thankful that I can play, because there's nothing like a good music practice to calm and cleanse you inside. I felt much better. On the way home I called my dad for advice, and he assured me that things would be okay. So today's resolution is to do the best job I can, and leave it at that. Sometimes God reminds me that I can't do anything by my own strength. I think yesterday was one of those reminders..

It's official: I'm not tutoring Yolanda anymore. :( Her mother was displeased with her last report card and blamed Streets (not her or the school) for not teaching her well enough. So she's pulled her out of the program. Logic, anyone? I gave them the okay to match me with another kid. They do need tutors badly, and I can't just give up because things aren't working out. I'm applying my Ezra Principle.

Tonight one of my favorite Friends episodes is on! And the 10:30 one will be good, too. Last night's was the first episode of Season 2, when Rachel goes to get Ross at the airport and he gets off the plane with Julie. I discovered to my chagrin that I have almost the entire episode memorized. Anyway, I also get to be with Evan! I feel like I've hardly seen him at all, since we were apart all weekend and he's been busy this week. Yay for quality time.
