Good news, bad news

In lieu of actual paragraphs and narrative, I'm doing this the easy way.

Good news:
  • My brother is VERY CLOSE to coming home from Afghanistan. Obviously not giving specific dates for obvious reasons, but I am thrilled to my heart's content that he'll soon be out of that hellhole.
  • We had a 'We Love Daddy' party today, for no other reason than we wanted to show Hubs how appreciated he is around here. I made him tostadas (one of his favorite things) and we had dirt cake for dessert. Oh, and the balloons. We blew up a couple dozen and threw them all over the house so it would look like a real party.
  • My boy has plans with his grandmother to visit some out-of-state relatives for Thanksgiving, so that means we get the house to ourselves for a couple days. I'll be working for a couple of them, but still!
  • I'm doing a Bible study with some girls from church on the book of Esther. It's a Beth Moore study, and her studies are usually very good. This one's no exception, and I'm realizing that God doesn't really make mistakes about where God places me and when. I don't always agree with His placement nor his reasoning, but that's another story.
  • In this crapola economy I still have a job.

Bad news:

  • I am still a horrible insomniac. I'm a nightshifter trying to make it in a dayshift world and most days it just barely happens. I don't get sleepy most nights before about 1am, or if I do, I go to bed and toss and turn for several hours. It really sucks. I try not to complain, because the weekend night diff is nice. But there are days when I wonder I'm going to ####ing lose it. I would like to be able to sleep without the aid of medication at some point in my life.
  • Immigration crap is still....immigration crap. No news one way or the other. Limbo sucks sometimes. (See the next-to-last bullet point under 'Good News.')

So....I guess it's good that the good outweighs the bad today. :)
