Singin in the Rain

So, this rain in killin me!! For those of you who don't know me that well, I hate the rain. Love the smell and sound...but for some reason, it makes me depressed! And when we get it for days in a row, and the clouds don't go away- let's just say, this doesn't make for a very cheerful Ashleigh. It's just hard for me to be joyful when the sun is hiding... Anyways, life goes on the the Queen City. Work is getting into a routine. Not sure what I feel about that...I think I am doing well. Not making as many mistakes as I did, which is always nice in any kind of work. Oh, if you all could pray about this: someone dad works with has a friend that works at a bank and wants to talk to me about possible employment! I am none too excited about the industry, but banks pay well, have good benefits, and have consistent hours. Also, no weekend work. Always a plus. So yeah, hopefully I will be talking to her soon. I'll give an update whenever I talk to her.
Terri, the lovely lady that I live with, is currrently out of the country...in Ireland. So incredibly jealous right now!! She and her niece that is graduating this summer will be spending a week bouncing around Ireland. *sigh* Someday, that will be me. I was thinking the other day that I might plan something fun like that for my 21st birthday....how cool would that be?! The idea is growing on me. I want to see the world!! Europe, Austraila, India, Africa, Asia, all of it.
So, I am on this crocheting kick...I get these urges every once in a while, and work my fingers into a frenzy. I just can't get enough of it!! I am working on two mile-a-minute blankets right now, and I am planning one for a couple that is getting married on June 20th. *happy hands* There is something about making something with your hands that can be useful...I love it. And doing it reminds me of both of my wonderful grandmothers that passed away last year...they are the ones that taught me to do it; I feel close to them when I do it. Maybe I am being selfish, but the two blankets that I am working on right now are for me. I know. I've made them for babies and other people, but I saw the colors in the store and knew that if I made them, they wouldn't end up being gifted...they wouldn't get any farther than my couch. Haha.
I have had a headache every day for the past two weeks...and it hasn't been a fun two weeks at all. I am seeking the Lord as to what to do about it; what to change, how to change. They are simply exhausting! Mind-numbing is what they are: I come home from work and vege out. It's bad. Last Friday, Mom and Cait were in town and Cait spent Thursday night with me. I was fine when I left the house Friday morning, and not ten minutes later, I couldn't see the pain was so bad. I got hot, sleepy, and shaky....these are super weird things for my normal headaches. I usually get freezing, shaky, and dizzy. It scared me, that it was so quick and how sleepy I got. Cait had to come get me and take me home...needless to say, I didn't make it to work. I am looking into medical massages. A friend gets them for her migraines, and she said they seem to help. I am just at my wits end with all this!! I am praying for discretion and just wisdom on how to proceed. If anyone has any suggestions, opinions, or any insight, please let me know!!

Got Cait's graduation announcement tonight...I can't believe it's time for her to graduate. Dang, it makes me feel old. And wonder where the last year has gone! That was me this time last year. But, her announcements are way cooler than mine. :) Way.
One more thing and I'm out.
The highlight of my week: I went book-browsing! *sigh* Seriously, I love looking at books...there is nothing like it. Smelling them, feeling the covers, reading them. I think I spent over an hour in the store, just reveling in it. If you ever want to know how to make me happy, get me a book. Almost any kind will do. Oh, and I found the cutest bookmark ever!! It's fashioned like an Oritenal rug, complete with the fringe on either end. Only, it's tiny. Eeeek! So. Cute. Of course I bought it.
Well, my friends. That is my epic post. God is wonderful and bringing me ever closer to him every day. Especially through the pain of my headaches, He is there and showing himself to me in ever more ways. Have a wonderful weekend!
