I went downstairs and started to unpack some books that arrived but Eli stopped me saying he had to do it sooo... basically I'm getting paid to sit around doing NOTHING. I want to scream BUUUT I need to keep it together and keep this in perspective. I know Jimmy did this, gave me all this time so that I could look for another job AND pack everything, basically be completely prepared for my departure. People will need to do what I've done when I'm not here. This is a wonderful opportunity and one I should use as well as I can.

I'm going to order boxes from that organization that ultimately gives you free shipping. I can physically clean everything out of here that we don't need anymore. I can clean all the dust AND then clean our portion in the storage room. I can delete all the files on this computer I don't want to be here.I can sharpen my resume and apply for any job I want. It is so hard NOOOT to try to get just any job. Delta Airlines just hired reservation agents who after a 15-week training can work from their PC at home. These are part time positions I'd love because once the schedule begins I can rock the real estate thing WHILE racking up flight benefits. I just can't imagine working for an airlines because the crappy pay.

It WOULD allow me to travel all over the place which is what I'd love BUUUT I think the crappiest work I'm actually willing to do is a librarian substitute with the county again. That only pays 14 an hour which is awful BUUUT it is also flexible, low-stress AND allows me to keep my librarian skills current. Ideally I want a part time librarian manager job but I don't think any of the managers are part time.

Naise worked 20 hours for the County on the weekends. That will be fine as my realtor skills are developed more.

It is hard keeping in my head that I should pursue real estate when it doesn't pay immediately. It does pay well however and I need to keep that foremost in my head. It is difficult because I'm going to need money. It's time for me to make my soup. I'm trying to think of something to take to my bishop's house tonight for our FHE BBQ/Potluck. They want us to take dessert or a salad. I can roast my cauliflower.

Let Your Faith Show - Russell M. Nelson
Whether truth emerges from a scientific laboratory or through revelation, all truth emanates from God. All truth is part of the gospel of Jesus Christ.⁴ Yet I was being asked to hide my faith. I did not comply with my colleague’s request. I let my faith show!
Spiritual truth cannot be ignored—especially divine commandments. Keeping divine commandments brings blessings, every time! Breaking divine commandments brings a loss of blessings, every time!⁵

My friend posted on Facebook that her favorite talk is Of Souls, Symbols and Sacraments by Jeffrey R. Holland. She is awesome so I had to look it up and read it myself. It is a beautiful talk on intimacy and why it is so sacred and important, why violating chastity is so severe and next to murder in intensity.

I enjoyed this talk but the conclusions it draws are not new to me. I have thought a lot about this. I don't doubt it has EVERYTHING to do with why I was led repeatedly to annoying. There is no other explanation for that. Unfortunately I also think it is why I was so specifically warned against Rich because he trivializes intimacy.

It is the best characteristic Curtis has although I don't know him well enough to know for sure if he really is as pure as he feels. He has the image of the Savior in his countenance. I feel he is clean whenever I'm in his presence.
