Is it really necessary to be typing right nowI'm not sure if this "escapist" post will solve anything.
probably won't.
It seems not many people have been able to encourage me regarding the state i'm in now.
And it just goes to show that only Jesus can help.
Through the little silly things guys can do that crack me up, to the few real hugs i've had lately that just wrap me up in some kind of tangible love if only for a moment.
So, i bought a Hp printer.
and i'm horribly regretful that i did.
Only after setting it up did i realise its 2 primary faults.
Ink cartridge not for individual colours and a risk of paper jam/wear & tear in the paper feeding system.
The lady at the shop wouldn't budge, "If you've used it you can't bring it back."
Now, i'm praying 2 things.
- That it will last me for years since I look after most of my things well
- That it will break down within a year so I can claim warranty and get an Epson instead
And this morning, I was having a slice of honey on toast.
In my last bite, I felt what seemed like a big grain of sand rolling about my mouth.
When I tongued out a piece of whiteness, my greatest concern was realised.
I had chipped my back mollar and a substantial amount at that.
Been brushing my teeth after every meal ever since, as I don't want a cavity to form in my fearfully naked tooth.
I rushed to the nearest dentist, and the earliest appointment I could get is next Wednesday.
And it's only going to be a consultation! with me forking out £38!
I can't imagine how much treatment is going to cost.
Oh yes, and i've got just as much work; if not more, alongside all this non-sense.
I feel the workload is coming in faster than i'm completing it.
So let's point out a few blessings shall we?
- I've got Oscar Peterson on the music player
- I can see Zixi soon
- I had friends who may not understand me but who care for me dearly
- For the sense of humour guys have
More than that, I have Jesus.
Imagine the hopelessness i'd have without Him.
