Monday

Monday morning, I was joined by two senior girls to start of our SECOND week of Focus Month-ing. These girls are amazing, and have jumped through all sorts of hoops to get here around other events. If you see them, let them know that I think they're pretty stinking cool.

We met at the park for some Jesus time, came back to hang out and talk for a while, called the food bank, then took off to Winc* to pick up the things we had been told they needed (canned baby food, soup, and pork 'n beans).

Luckily, we found a very patient checkout lady!

Not so luckily, we discovered what the man on the phone had not told us. The food bank closes completely after 11:30am. Meaning...there was no one there to take said food. So, it is all traveling around in the back seat of my dad's car. :)

Myself and one of the girls headed to the library after that, to do some research and brainstorming. Or, attempted to do so.

First, I killed the battery of my dad's car by leaving the key in the ignition and the battery running - without realizing that I had done so! - and then, while looking for the jumper cables that were not there... I locked said key into the trunck. Yep. Skills.

In the end, she gave me a ride to the library, and we brainstormed until our brains were numb and empty. (And, then my mom and sister came to jump the car. Thanks, guys!)

Not a half bad day!
