I remember about a year or two ago, the building where I worked had an asbestos problem. Apparently, if you’re exposed to it too much, you can get mesothelioma, a type of cancer. I didn’t know what all the huss and fuss was about until after I had done some Googling and understood that’s why they shut down parts of the building. Isn’t scary now how easily you can end up with cancer just by doing normal everyday things?

I’ve always had a love-hate relationship with health insurance. Some days, I love it because it takes care of things, like shots, for me. Other days, the days when I realize that certain things aren’t covered or when it comes to my mental health, I’m only allotted a certain amount of visits, it makes my day quite difficult. Some places, like Allsup, can provide helpful disability insurance for those in dire need.

Yes, I know, I’ve been completely lagging on updating, but one day, I will try to revamp, update more often, etc. I’m still deciding on the direction I want this blog to head, so bear with me. Thanks for reading!

I think it’s going to be a recurring theme for me: going to church pissed off at my mother, only to be soothed by the word of God and the sounds of His love.
Today’s mass was beautiful. It was the mass for the confirmation as well as the Feast of the Trinity. It was surprisingly crowded today, much more than usual. The choir was much bigger and this time, included a cello (I think? I couldn’t see because I was in the back), a violin, and a flute. The selected music pieces were definitely good choices and the violin beautifully added to that.
Going to the mass today, I took away a few things. First, I’ve discovered that when I sing or am surrounded by good music and words, I feel enlightened, if not, definitely happier. I feel a closer connection to God and I remember all the good He’s done for me, for my family, for my friends. Singing the songs reminds me of how much I have, how blessed I am to be alive, to be loved, and to have the ability to love.
Second, as the Bishop was talking, he said that if the confirmee’s were to forget their confirmation teachings, he would hope that they, as well as the rest of us, would remember one thing: God loves us. We are loved by God. Our religion is highly based on love… love for God, love for yourself, love for your neighbor as if they were yourself.
People wonder sometimes why or how it is I can choose to follow this religion despite all of the different vices I do outside of the church. For me, I follow this because the main message of love is a message I believe in. All the little rules and taboo are things I choose not to concern myself with because to me, they’re not as important as the main rules of love. Even when I’m stumbling back into my apartment, completely inebriated, I know that I truly am blessed and have so much to be thankful for. The chances I’ve been given, the opportunities, the experiences, all of those things happened so I could learn and more importantly, so I could learn to love.

Over the last week, I’ve been moving my things from the living room into the bedroom (Yay for finally having a door!). Thre were a few things that I needed to take down, such as my lights, and reinstall. I had to use a power tool, but I wonder if I would ever need industrial equipment supplies. The things I did didn’t require too much effort and work, but still, it did require more than a flathead and phillips screwdriver.

I’ve noticed that people nowadays have slipcovers for a lot of things, couches, sofas, futons, etc. Some people even have patio furniture covers to shield it from the weather and the elements. I don’t know if i would ever do that but if I had the time and money, it wouldn’t seem like a bad idea to do. Actually, thinking about it, even people like to cover up their cars and bikes and everything else too. What is it with this whole cover business?
