3:00 on a Friday…
This has been one of those Fridays. I’ve had things to do, and I have done those things. But that doesn’t change the fact that I’m just NOT WANTING TO BE HERE. (For those who are wondering, Here=Work, and Work=Where I do not want to be.)
I think some of this stems from last night, which was a tremendous disappointment. Some of you know that I very much enjoy playing video games, and you may also know that my current major addictions are Tekken 5 on the PS2 and World of Warcraft on the PC. Last night, we were supposed to do a difficult dungeon run with some friends, and it was a tremendous disappointment.
Allow me to clear something up: The incredible DULL nature of this dungeon had nothing to do with the people with whom I was playing. They made it tolerable for as long as I lasted. The thing was just long, monotonous, and BORING AS HECK! I had been looking forward to it all day, and it was such a letdown.
When evenings are boring, I get annoyed. I don’t get a lot of time in the evening to spend with Kim, and when it isn’t even remotely enjoyable, I get really testy. lol. Last night was no exception. I had to apologize to my wife for snapping and analyze what I was pissed at so I could stop being pissed. lol.
Anyway, I’ve done it again today. I’ve been looking forward to 4:30pm all day…not because of anything I’m doing, but just to be off. Gabe put it well when he said, “I’d rather be staring at a wall at home than be here.” (Remember, folks: here=work.) Because of this, I think tonight will be better. After all, it’s not anything I’m planning to do or anything…just to be home and relaxing, whether we’re watching TV, or just being with one another, I’m really looking forward to tonight.
In other news: I’m gearing up for Brewing Season. For those who are wondering, brew season begins when the days get into the low 80’s consistently. Fermentation that is not climate controlled is always happier when it’s cooler, so Brewing Season is happening soon. I’m planning out my brews. This weekend, I’m counting my various bottles to see how many concurrent batches I can brew. Each batch is 5 gallons, so I just have to figure out whether I have enough for 3 concurrent batches. :) I think I’m going to do a partial mash this time, which should be a lot of fun. I’ve not done a mash yet, so this could be the first batch I want to throw out. :)
Finally, I think I managed to piss of a very close friend. I’m not really concerned about it. She’s going to be mad that I asked very personal questions, and yet, they’re questions that she needs to be thinking about. Furthermore, it is her nature to be most angry when the person who is asking those questions is right, which I most definitely am, in this case. However, I don’t like having loved ones angry at me. I’m not willing to sacrifice the Truth, but I’d ask that you please pray for her heart. Ask that the Lord would soften it to His Truth. Also, please pray that she gets involved in a church, as she desperately needs that as well.
