Shocked

Bad things definitely do happen to good people. India (boss) just called me to tell me that Linda's (coworker) husband died suddenly and Gary's (coworker) little girl is in critical condition because of a brain injury.

Linda has been through so much... just now recovering from lung cancer surgery (her first day back would have been tomorrow) and for this to happen to her... It wasn't even expected at all, nothing was wrong with him. They don't even know what happened yet. She's a strong lady though and she's been through so much. I pray she can get through this.

And for Gary... his little girl was playing with her brothers and hit her head... and she had to have brain surgery. India said she's in critical condition. I'm praying that she'll make it through this and be fine. That just breaks my heart too... I can't even imagine how Gary is feeling. He is such a sweet guy and a lot of fun to work with.

Neither of them deserve that. But God does have a plan I guess... and I'll be praying for them. If and when they ever come back to work I don't even know what I'd say to them. What do you say to someone in those situations? "Sorry" doesn't cut it. "I know how you feel" definitely doesn't cut it. I just don't know... I didn't ever know what to say to Linda she found out she had cancer... twice. I don't know if she thinks I just don't care or what but I just don't know what to say.

And to top it all off... I had to ask India for tomorrow afternoon off work when she called. Because that's the only time my group members can meet to practice our presentation.

Cold

So I'm just lying in bed waiting for 7:45 when I have to leave to go to work. This is my tentative plan for the day-

- Go to work until 10:00
- Go to class from 11:00 - 3:15
- Go run errands with Laila
- Hopefully go to the Petsmart halloween party with mom & Mocha

Busy! Anyway, I found Mocha a costume! A devil :) They didn't have much to choose from but I think she looks pretty cute. I found a costume for me too. An airplane captain/pilot/whatever. Everyone thinks I look like a flight attendant though. I don't know. I just picked the cheapest one (they are all SO expensive!) I could find that I could fit in! Ok... that makes me sound really fat. But no seriously... those costumes are cut extremely small. I had to buy a large... and I'm like 5'4" and 120. It's crazy.

Oh, and remember how I said glo-bus was getting easier? Yeah right. Our group is in last place now. Not sure how that happened... but hopefully we can catch up. I just wish our grade wasn't based on a stupid simulation!!!

Good morning

This morning the weather is beautiful.
I really, really wish I could go to the realtor picnic today at work :(
But I have class!

I'm about to leave to go to work in a minute. I'll probably be helping set up for the picnic all morning... at least I hope so. That's so much more fun than scanning.

I'm glad its getting colder outside, now I can start wearing jeans and sweaters and stuff without being hot.

Today I'm wearing a grey pencil skirt, a cotton short-sleeve blue turtleneck, and grey print ballet flats. I HATE the ballet flats because they kill my feet but I had to wear something closed toe.

I'm not so sure how I like the grey nail polish yet. It's almost too dark. They didn't have the pink!

Anyway - my team got 2nd place (out of 8) in Glo-bus again! Yay. The game is turning out to be so much easier than I imagined.
