Cool Comfort
As of today, it's finally starting to feel like fall. Let's hope it lasts.
The latter end of the work week (I feel like a wage slave when I say that) had been generally good. I treasure the times I get to hang out with my BCM buddies. We got together in Taylor and TJ's room last night to get ideas for Homecoming. Our theme is based on the Eighties and trends, shows, movies, and media that was popular back then. We tossed ideas like G.I. Joe, Smurfs, Apple computers, and the Reagan administration before we finally settled on the required three. I won't share them here (other groups could be spying), but I'm excited about them.
After that, some of us headed down to the Tower Cafe, where I had a nice, long conversation with Hudson, the other guy in my breakout group from Katartidzo. He was sporting a bandage wrap on his arm identical to mine; yep, we both gave blood yesterday. Although my experience was one I'd rather forget. No sooner do I finish up with the questions, get my mini-physical, hop on the gurney and get the needle in my arm, then seven minutes into it, a wave of nausea breaks over me. When you get that feeling, you know exactly what's about to happen. But thankfully, the nursing staff was keeping a close eye on the "patients," and they quickly stuffed a plastic bag under my chin.
I'll spare you the gory details, but let's just say they needed three more bags before my nausea passed. After it, they tried to make me lie down for another 15 minutes. No sir. I was off the gurney and out of there as soon as I gained my feet. I'd made enough of a spectacle of myself.
I had a fun time this afternoon playing football with Lauren, Andrew, Taylor, TJ, Chris (Teel), Kristen, and some of the others. I think we unofficially named Lauren the MVP of the game on account of her three TD catches and one interception (it was off a pass that bounced off my fingers). So anyway, lots of fun times that were had.
And now, I'd like to introduce you to the newest occupant of The Eye. Without further ado, I give you... ... ...
Song of the Day: Michael W. Smith - "Healing Rain"
Verse of the Day: “And this is my prayer: that your love may abound more and more in knowledge and depth of insight, so that you may be able to discern what is best and may be pure and blameless until the day of Christ." - Philippians 1:9-10
