Overwhelmed

And you can just be "whelmed" -- not just in Europe.

I start at Lowes on Monday (orientation Monday and Tuesday from 4-10 in Carol Stream). Whew. I have to miss my English class, again. I already sent an e-mail to my professor. She may just about lose it and I wouldn't blame her.

Of course, I have a student I have to accommodate that I'm not really sure I want to. I will, though, because I am just accommodating as all hell.

Did I spell that right?

I felt like a grown up today. I set up cable, internet, phone, water, sewer, and garbage service at my new place.

Jay and Jeff were the references I thought of on the spot for my new landlords. I love them both--they said nice stuff. I'm not sure I would have. They know my "history" with roommates. This is Steve, though. Each of them also knows him and "referred" him, too.

I just thought about my Spanish teacher in high school--Sr. Lucas. I loved him. I went to his memorial service when he died around 5 years ago. He used to spell it rhythmically -- "r-e-f-e-r-r-a-l . Referral. Referral."

My mind is running too quickly and tangentially right now. I'm going to watch The Wheel.

Did I spell that right? Tangentially. Looked it up. It's right.
