for anyone reading this who is knowledgable of the game of baseball, the person named in my title is obvious: edgar martinez, who was honored at safeco field last night, and who will play in his final game for the seattle mariners this afternoon...he has been such a huge part of the m's for so long, it will be strange next season without him...not just the numbers, but the experience, the presence, the mentoring...he deserved to end his career in a game 7 against st. louis, hitting a 2-out, 2-strike double that scored the winning run that gave the m's their first world series...but that wasn't to be...so thanks, edgar, for everything...
mt. st. helens is predicted to explode or something in the next 24 to 48 hours...we'll see...i think that it will happen, and that it will be a larger explosion than is expected...i don't think explosion is quite the right word, is it?...
had another violent dream last night...that's 2 in the last week...actually wednesday night was the "being chased" one, and last night was the "van" one...i just wanted to give myself enough information to remember the rest of the details without having to mention them here...for anyone reading this, a reason that these dreams are significant is because as a child and especially as a young adult, i regularly had vivid, violent dreams...so for them to be starting up again is disconcerting...
l.'s mom lent me rent money yesterday, so i will pay that monday...as for the rest of my bills, i will pay the essential ones first and deal with the rest later...i just can't be concerned about this...God is aware of my situation and that i am working 2 jobs and supporting my two kids with no help from their dad...blah, blah, blah, i know, i am complaining and feeling sorry for myself...so i'll stop...
i am addicted to cinnamon toast crunch cereal lately...
today i will go to crossroads service at 11, since it is almost 9 and contemporary service starts at 930, and i haven't showered or anything, so...after church i will meet mom and dad and ka. and ch. at sterling's, then dad said he wanted to discuss something, so we'll see what that is about...
it was good to get out and do something yesterday, instead of isolating myself in the apartment as i usually do...unfortunately, one reason i do that is because i believe that since i have no money, i have no reason to be out doing anything...obviously there are many things to do that don't require money...it's important to spend time outdoor, especially when the weather has been so absolutely gorgeous...about 70 degrees, sunny, blue skies, the leaves changing to yellows, oranges, reds, dark purples...the crisp chill of the morning gives way to those last gasps of summer still trying to hang on...
i found a way cool website that has the texts of some amazing books...last night i started to read "my antonia" by willa cather...
http://www.americanliterature.com/MA/MAININDEX.HTML
is the place...i will start reading these books online...of course, i still need to finish the last half of "harry potter and the prisoner of azkaban", plus i am skimming through jane pauley's book...if i could spend my time reading, writing, listening to music, being with the people in my life...what a life that could be...as long as what i do glorifies the Lord (and it doesn't always, i don't think watching euro trip or american pie movies with m. qualifies, but hey, i am a human with a slightly twisted sense of humor...sorry)
this has been a long entry...this is what i used to do on easyjournal when i had (actually i still have it) a journal there, 2 actually, and i think i had a diaryland one for a while...i like blogger.com the best of any site i have used...
so i had better sign off...hope it is a great day...later...
