i went to mass this morning to pray for a good defense. the newman center was the only church-type place here in chico i felt comfortable with my religious worship. the priest seemed open and caring, and not so traditional and strict. father mike at the newman center wore shorts under his robe and always remembered that i was a texan. he never did homilies about how all of us are doomed to go to hell, be us loose women, muslims, homosexual, alcoholics, or junkies. unlike those "saviors" who would come to campus and congregate at the free speech area twice a year and lecture the students about how CSUC was the devil's playground.
anyway, the newman center has a different priest whose name, i kid you not, is blaise. today, in the homily, he told us that he needed to get better at doing his prayers of devotion. any priest who can admit his imperfections and seem like he's just like me is a-okay.
after mass, i had every intention of going to my storage unit to get a jacket and some extra clothes. i didn't realize it was going to be cold here still. yeah, i went to school here for three and a half years, but i don't ever remember it being this cold in april. cool, but not cold. i guess i forgot to put my storage lock key in my bag, because i didn't have it. so, i hit up the trader joe's again for some food.
i still have a salad and the cranberry pumpkin loaf left to eat, but i thought i would need something more. i decided to get a few things that would last through the end of the week, so i wouldn't have to go out to a fast food place. fast food and restaurants are pretty expensive here, so i'm trying to avoid them. anyway, so, today, i bought a bag of vegan trail mix cookies (soooooo good!), a BBQ chicken salad, a tuna sandwich on multigrain bread, 5 layer dip, some organic carrots with organic buttermilk ranch dip, celery with peanut butter dip, and a bag of unsalted organic white corn tortilla chips. i can't wait to eat lunch.
