It's been an up and down day.

All day I had a persistent pressure in my ureter as my kidney stone is trying to come out. I had to go to the bathroom alot. The good thing is that I didn't have excrutiating pain and I didn't have to take the day off from work.

Work was good, I got to work on a creative project in the morning and it was slow in the afternoon. As I left work this afternoon I stopped on the corner of 6th and Congress and realized how blessed I am to have the job I have. Tonight I saw a commercial for etrade and I remembered a recurring moment of wishful thinking when I would wish that I could get lucky enough to find a support job with an ecommerce company. Today I have that job.

In the early evening I enjoyed some time with the kids. After Christie left I got overwhelmed by their energy. Tonight I almost didn't do this review again but I remembered a talk I recently heard about bearing one's cross.

I was resentful at the kid's at times.
I was afraid of not being helpful at work.
I was selfish when I wanted to zone out on the tv.
I thought of myself most of the time and not enough about helping others.
