So I seem to be feeling much better about being back in the states, not as depressed and sad as I was when I first got back. Things are looking up. I begin my formation classes tomorrow or at least I think they begin tomorrow, so kind of looking forward to that. Also next weekend is my first formation weekend with others in formation, hopefully that will be a blast, plus it will be since next Saturday is my birthday.
On Friday, I had a meeting with a choir friend of mine who is in charge of Religious Education down at St. Daniel's, which is the parish down the street from me. They needed volunteers to teach Religious Education, so I thought this would be a great apostolic assignment for me since they want me to teach religion in the future anyway. Found out that I will be teaching 5th graders. That's a fun age and should be interesting. Br. Dan and I were hard at work tearing up the carpet in our basement here in Syracuse because a few weeks ago there was a really back rain that saturated all the carpet in the basement. Insurance has come and looked at it. We did it faster than I thought we would have it done it. So to celebrate it, since it was just Br. Dan and I here, we went and ate at Outback Steakhouse, which was really good. I had myself a really good ribeye. Now we had ordered a blooming onion, but we didn't get it, we still asked for it, and lucky enough we got it for free. Outback makes the best. We bought some throw rugs for the basement since we will be getting tiles instead of new carpet, just to make the basement feel more like a home. I also got myself a new candle, that's right I am really happy about a new candle. I use them when I pray.
Saturday I was able to sleep in, which was quite nice. My sleep cycle is almost back to normal. As soon as I woke up we began to work again. I took out the bed in Br. Mike's old room, which is now going to be Brian's room when he moves here in two weeks. So we were both hard at work cleaning, setting up the bed, moving desks around. It was hard on the back. I am still sore. I decided not to go work out because of all the heavy lifting we were doing. Later that evening we went to the Irish Festival for about an hour. Mostly just listened to the music, but when we first got to the stage, I was able to witness a proposal that was planned, how nice was that. I pray that they have a happy life together. I also got myself a cigar, which the last time I had one was at the Irish Festival last year. I was just happy to have been able to go to the Irish Festival.
Today I went to the gym and then grocery shopping. I felt like I was going back and forth all over the store today forgetting certain items and such, but it all got done. I went to Lake Onondaga for a little while and I say a little while because it began to rain. It was very windy out there, which wasn't bad, I enjoyed it. I just felt like it was God and me and he was speaking to me through the wind. I really feel like when it is windy that the Holy Spirit is blowing at the same time. Went to Mass at Le Moyne and saw a friend of mine who is about to start on a long road trip. It was great seeing her.
My birthday is on Saturday, yay!
