Spiraling



A quick break here, as things start spiraling faster and faster.

Wedding stuff is starting, her mom is looking at halls already, and I’m going to talk to the guy we want to do our wedding tonight. I’m saving for the ring (or am I saving for unemployment? Still not sure yet), and things are as usual pretty tight. Sunday night we celebrated 6 months together by driving back from Ft Wayne from her parents and reading the new Harry Potter book together in the car and eating homemade Skyline chili at my apartment. Wait, no that was last night… everything runs together.

Hey, speaking of last night, I had a little taste of nostalgia that very few here in the States would have any idea about. I had Thumbs Up Cola. It’s made by Coca Cola in India, in the same factory as Coca Cola, and has an extremely similar flavor to Coca Cola. How, you may rightly ask, did I procure such a thing when I haven’t been to India in 7 years? When I was down in Cincinnati visiting J’s brother and his wife we went to Jungle Jim’s where I picked up 2 bottles. Deeeelicious

Tonight I have my 201 class at GCC taught by Dr Bob which is gonna run from 5:30 to 10:00 tonight. I probably wouldn’t have done it if my good friend Luke hadn’t talked me into it, at least I’ll have someone to sit next to, AND a great speaker and friend to learn from.

My brother just went for some testing today because of some problems he was having and got the results back. He has something weird, but at least they know what it is, he isn’t in any pain or anything, but… it’s just not good. He’ll have to take medicine for the rest of his life. I’m not listing the name of what it is for 2 reasons, 1, it’s a pretty personal issue, and 2, I have NO idea how to spell it. Suffice to say, he needs prayer as he learns to adapt to this. I know I would have a hard time coping with this for awhile, but he’s tougher and smarter than I am so I’m sure he’ll do fine.

On the job front… I wait more. A new opportunity has arisen, but as with just about anything employment related it gets tied up in HR for undefined amounts of time. I need money, somebody better not be playin solitaire when they could be working on my stuff.

Ever feel like your feet are moving faster than the rest of your body, like when you try to sprint down a hill and slow yourself down at the same time? I’m kinda there right now, and I like it.

Wait, you wanna give me WHAT??

Did you predict i'd forget to take my camera on the camping trip? Cuz I did.

Anyway, this is cooler than all that.

Just found out about an oppurtunity here that would make me a GOOD size chunk of change atleast temporarily and potentially long term. Add this to the two jobs I'm interviewing for right now, and things are starting to get interesting...

more details later...

God just sorta has a way of working things out better than i thought He would.

Man, i'm stupid.

The Tail


This weekend will be the first convening of The Tail of the Sagarsee Lineage. My brother's and I are the last Sagarsee male's in our family to the best of our knowledge, and currently there are none coming after us. While we hope to remedy that, the solution is a ways off.

We're going camping at Potato Creek State Park here in in Indiana. Thing's are a lot more expensive than I remember them being last time i went camping at a state park, but it will be with it to spend a weekend with my brothers out in the woods.
Hopefully we'll have some pictures to post of the trip when we get back.
I'm hoping this turns out to be at least an annual thing, now that we've all moved so far apart it's becoming more and more important to schedule time together. No one would have thought we'd eventually grow up when we were hanging upside down from the pine tree out front,but here we are, grown men.
