Killing Time

So, things are just kind of...moving along, I guess. I feel as though time is just steadily elapsing, and I'm watching it go by. Sure, there are a few things here and there that bring excitement or drama, but they seem to be occurring less frequently. PCSd. Drove to Vegas. Wedding in Alabama. The next major thing coming up is my class in Texas, but that's not for another month. What am I supposed to do until then?
Work might be the problem. I still don't feel like I fit in there. I don't really look forward to going. The highlight of my day is going for a run.
Then again, maybe my social life is the problem. I don't really have a ton of friends here. I hang out with Caleb and his brothers once or twice a week, but I'm used to having some kind of social interaction, like, five or six times a week. I thought about going to the single's group at the Chapel tonight, but I desperately needed to go grocery shopping, and it was too late by the time I got done. Maybe I'll hit up the single's Sunday school class at the Church I've been attending.
I'm not really down. Just kinda numb and slightly unmotivated. I don't think it's anything having to do with my relationship with God. Maybe He's getting something ready for me, and this is just the calm before the storm. Maybe I should be enjoying this time of rest. (Trish is in labor as I write, so her and Paul's time of rest is definitely over.) My faith is as strong as it's ever been. In fact, the other day, I was running and I had to slow down because I was almost laughing when I started thinking about the strange ways that God works things out. I think I might have shed a tear or two, but it could have just been sweat.
I'm definitely looking forward to upcoming events. Tegan and Sara concert this weekend. Possibly snowboarding, too. St. Patrick's Day. Driving to Texas for my class. Seeing Jay while I'm there. Vegas again in May. My brother's wedding in June. I'm just going to concentrate on these things, instead of the lack of activity I'm experiencing now.
