feeling kind of numb about this information...

apparently two teenage boys from kennewick will be charged in the murder and attempted robbery of the ki-be teacher who was killed this weekend...i have heard rumors which i will not share here, but i feel just numb and angry if these rumors are true...there are some real cowards in this world, and i think these two are an example of that...god be with this man's family, friends, students, co-workers, and just anyone that is having trouble dealing with this...this weekend there was another murder, just as senseless, a man having been shot then hit by a car, although the being hit by the car seems to be accidental...violence, terrorism, injustice...sometimes it just gets to be too much...

on a much lighter note...
Ken Jennings, Jeopardy 41-day champion, is up to $1,380,661...cool

what happened to last night's blog entry?

yeah, ain't technology great?...i wrote a fairly insightful blog entry last night and for whatever reason, it never appeared...oh well, so i'll just try to remember what i wrote...worked for only an hour, then ange and i went to wendy's for their "99 cent menu" before our cpr/first aid class, which lasted from 600 until about 930, got home, called mom and dad, watched "amazing race", watched the news, wrote my "blog that never was", then read a bit from "harry potter and the ______________________" (whatever the second book is called, the chamber of secrets, i do believe)...so i am obviously not working today, and the thought of finding of non-teaching job for this year is looking more and more possible...an interesting, higher-paying job which would enable me to 1. pay off my $26,000 school loan 2. make an income that would enable me to pay my bills each month and start a decent savings account 3. purchase a home but really #'s 1 and 2 are the only necessities, i don't ever have to have a home, that is a want, not a need...however, i want to provide matt and kim with a place so they can each have their own rooms...anyone who has read any of my earlier blogs probably knows that i currently live in a small 1 bedroom, 1 bath apartment...i am extremely thankful to have this place, actually...

it's like 1139 am, and my appt is at 200, so i will leave about 100 so i can pay my electricity bill on the way (it's due tomorrow) and i also like to get places early...i asked for the day off, but if i get done early enough, i will go to work...i only worked like 25 hours last week and this week, forget it, i have hardly worked at all...

i just pray for guidance about whatever happens at the doctor today...will update later...
