Hello, this is Donna. Checking in again. Today was my formal catechumen seminar, at least the first. It has been said, God willing, I may be chrismated a couple months after Easter. I hope so. I am struggling, and I guess I always will, but I want to see what is on the other side of the divide. And hopefully find peace there.

Church was long yesterday. We had Compline, the evening service. There were some kids running around outside in the lobby. I was hoping they'd come in and sit down. Well, maybe tonight. :) There's another Compline today, then Bible study class. I have to remember to read the first six chapters of Isaiah.

Also had an interview today. Very interesting stuff. It was for a dental lab, with a complicated processing system. I don't know what my chances are, but I have to keep trying. I also have a slight chance to go back to my previous job. We'll see which one develops.

This picture is from a trip I took to Fred Howard Park the other day. It was fabulous. The view is from the road leading to the peninsula. :)

Hi. It's Wednesday. Lent is getting a little easier for me. I did eat spring rolls for lunch. They were good. :) Sunny outside. Hope I can get in a walk before the day ends.

Hi, everyone. It's Wednesday, March 20. I don't believe how fast the past three months have gone. It's already spring! Here is a link to a video I took while outside with my dog, Keisha. Looky lou. It was filmed right on our block in Port Richey, Florida. :) Had trouble the first couple days of Lent. It's getting a little easier now. Usually it takes me a week or two to stop feeling weird. Listening to the new Pye Corner Audio album now. Also got the new David Bowie. Found a couple of prayerbooks in with my other things. I want to start going back to church. Thanks. :)

Just a little picture of my dog. :) She's so sweet. Did a lot of thinking today. Some of it, wasn't so easy to deal with. I know my problems are small, but sometimes they get stuck, and they just churn away. I did some praying, and I went to the storage center to clean out a couple small boxes and bags. After that, I went to the library and gave them a lot of books. The last thing I did, was go to the gym. :) It was rainy, so it was good to get something positive done. I am hoping I can get some more interviews soon. My job is ending in a couple of weeks, so I applied for unemployment. I hope I can find something soon. And I hope I will be grateful for it. :) Happy St. Patrick's Day! :)

Can't believe they're having a festival this weekend at church. Won't be able to go. I don't know what I think about having two of these a year. If it helps them, though, good. Very depressed today. Trying to lift that up. Will lie down for a while. Maybe some music and reading will help. Also, will pet the dog. Plan to start aggressively looking for work over the next two weeks. It would be great if I can get some interviews before my job actually ends on the 29th.

Hello again. My name is Donna R., also known as D.R. Thank you for reading this blog. I'm Keisha's human, and it's nice of her to let me use the computer sometimes. :) I was going to go to church this morning, but I missed it because of the daylight savings time change. I know, excuses, excuses... Hopefully I'll be smarter about it next week. The weather is not bad today. I have to think about writing a letter to the priest, to get a sponsor for chrismation. That will be a big step. Once it's done, though, I'm sure it will have been worth it. This is my parish. It is a beautiful church, not far from Tampa, Florida. Anyone is welcome to visit, if you want. :) Thanks.
