amateur hour:

I totally forgot which grind was for french press, so I had to look it up.
Couldn't figure out why my new keyboard wasn't syncing until I realized it wasn't turned on.
Didn't do laundry until like 5 minutes ago.
Forgot to get the car serviced before we leave for Faithwalkers tomorrow.
Excited for Faithwalkers, but nervous I'll forget something important.
Had to run upstairs to see who was playing on iTunes, because for some reason, Sparta didn't click in my brain. I was bummed about that enough that I just put on a radio station on Spotify, because I need some new music.


The awesome part about today: got to hang with my Grandma B since Christmas, or anytime really, is hard for her since my Grandad died 7 years ago; 8 years in three weeks. I could see the light in her eyes knowing that I decided to stay with her, instead go to California. Some things just mean more.

And another thing, I didn't "feel" Christmas at all - in a seasonal sense. I just wasn't wired up in the Christmas mood this year, I guess. Maybe because a lot of it is Western tradition, and Americanism is kind of dull to me because of what it's done to the Church.

That doesn't mean it's not real to me - it very much is, to celebrate the birth of my Lord. I suppose it's one of those small lessons in life that goes to show that just because I don't feel it, doesn't mean I've forgotten the significance of it. I'm floored by the grace of God. He is strong when I am weak, and always.
