Weekend Oddities

This weekend has been full of small incidents.

I'll mention the oddities.

I was woken up on Saturday night (technically Sunday morning) at 3.30am by a phone call. It's Jiz asking for a ride from Fremantle because of the long taxi line. Unfortunately for me at that time I was actually asleep. I went to pick him and his friend up anyway. It was a bit of a chuckle because the whole way home they would not stop baggin' each other out. The main retorts coming from his friend was the fact Jiz woke me up at 3.30am. By the time I got home, in the cold I examined the gifts Jiz gathered between his phone call and me arriving to Fremantle, I cracked up when I saw the "flowers" was a plant where he actually pulled out the entire small shrub which included its roots. Not wanting to dump it, I did a poor attempt of sticking it into the ground amongst other plants at the front of the house. Mum picked up on it today. His other gifts was a kids toy from a HJ's meal and "Norkfolk St" street sign. Currently it's hiding under my bed and I am contemplating whether to contact the Fremantle council to return it and mention that I "found it lying in the streets" of Freo, or a suburb close by. However I got a text from Jiz today saying thanks, to enjoy the road sign and to catch up after he returns from his work related trip to Melbourne. I wouldn't know what his reaction may be to discover I may have been faithful to the public service.

Tonight after church, I had a chat with one of the year 9 girl's mum. She ended up telling me a lot about her life stuff and ended up tearing. I felt odd/helpless as she left so abruptly to go home. She had to have a chat with her daughter because she wasn't doing so well at school etc. But that incident caught me off balance because I had no tissue to offer and didn't have time to decide if she needed a squeeze on the shoulder or a hug (which would have been awkward for me naturally as I'm a non-huggy type).

As for my spiritual walk, I feel so slow. I need to train harder and more diligently, pray and seek his spirit more so that it can stir mine.
