Out of Reach

I had one of those moments today that just make you shake for 5 minutes after. Linda went downstairs to get some makeup or something and I was helping watch Violet. Violet went after Linda, and I wasn't able to catch her before she started tumbling down the stairs. She was okay after, but it was the longest 5 seconds of my life. I wish my reaction time was just a bit faster, but I was a foot short of being able to catch her. I was shaking for 5 or 10 minutes after, I swear the first couple of seconds happened in slow motion.

Last night I just couldn't get any sleep. I got like 4 hours, but other than that nothing. I suppose I'm still a bit over excited about Linda and everyone being here. It rained a lot today, I'm just glad it wasn't windy. It doesn't even feel remotely like winter here at the moment. My ride was late today so I missed the sacrament at church, I was going to attend the other wards but I totally forgot! I wanted to sleep so badly, but for the most part I managed to avoid it today. I did a little during Relief Society when we were talking about the signs of the second coming, but not too much. I had to walk around the halls a few times and drink a lot of water. I also got to talk to this guy I know, his name is James, he used to be my home teacher. He says he isn't very good at talking to people, but I don't see it. I find him to be really interesting. He's one of the very few guys I actually like talking to. He also gave a talk in sacrament meeting today, it was pretty good.

I'm still adjusting to our new puppy. She is still too hyper for me, I don't spend much time around Panda right now. It's going to take time for my heart to warm up to her. Part of me still feels like my space has been invaded. I'm sure the cat feels somewhat the same. I'm just going to have to be patient I guess. I'm just not that into her right now, though I admit she is cute.

I napped today and hung out with my nieces and nephews. The whole family was here tonight, all of my brothers and sisters and their children. I now have 2 nephews and 4 nieces. We had home made minestrone for dinner tonight. My mom is a master at making soup. Actually she is a master at cooking in general in my opinion.

Anyway, nothing much to write about other than this. It is my friend Ronnie's birthday today. I'm not sure what he is up to right now though.
