Freezing deer school festival coffee shop toothpaste

1) It is cold. I checked the weather for tonight/tomorrow morning when I wake up. 3. 3 degrees. It is OCTOBER! Whatever. I'll get used to it...or start sleeping next to the heater.

2) They always tell me to watch out for deer when I'm driving. Friday night, I saw a bunch of deer while riding the bus. I finally figured out what they were talking about. And then last night, it was super foggy driving back from town and I ALMOST HIT A DEER! Someone already hit it, but it was like just over the crest of a hill. So I came over the hill and swerved to miss it. I don't think my car would've taken that very well. It was a close call. I am now super paranoid about driving at night.

3) I sang at a school festival today (yay for waking up at 5:30 to watch the game and then go straight to work). And I have another one on Saturday. On Saturday I'm in the drama, playing the piano, and attempting the conga. It's going to be interesting. I don't even know how to describe these school festivals. I'd say they're like Homecoming...but they're really not. Uniquely Japanese...let's just put it that way.

4) Last night I went to town and hung out at a coffee shop with another female JET. It was so nice just to hang out with someone...especially another female! We just drank fancy coffee and laughed and talked about work and the adorable small children that kept running around. It was nice to just have...a physical human being in front of me. And she hugged me. It was just what I needed after a crazy week.

5) I found Aquafresh. It'll do the job. I'm running out of toothpaste and everyone says I packed 2 tubes, but I can't find the other one. I probably traded it for like Cheetos or something on the airplane. But I found Aquafresh in town, so that'll keep my teeth from decaying...hopefully.

I am exhausted. It's time to recuperate before another crazy week!

Lord Jesus, You are so good. Even when I can't go to church, You bless me with majestic scenery and perfect weather to sit outside and just do some Bible study in my car before having to face another day of work. You protect me from crazy deer and have made this week absolutely amazing despite everything that's going on. You are so good. Thank You for so many undeserved blessings...and giving me exactly what I need even when I don't think I need it. Thank You for always loving me more than I can even imagine.
