Best news received this morning: my sister gave birth at 2:20 this morning, about a fortnight earlier than expected, to my third niece: Jessie Hope. 2.7kg and 46.5cm. Cannot wait to visit. Skye was very excited. She and Eden spent the night here, so the news was given to them, and me who slept through the early-morning phone call, this morning.
A dear friend found a job.
Another dear friend, and husband of the friend above, helped me with a work situation I was struggling with: it was a blessing to know I could ask for, and receive, help. And those at work in relevant positions also greatly assisted and relieved the pressure from me.
Enjoyed watching episodes of Six Feet Under and Brothers & Sisters on DVD in the evening.
Looking forward to watching the final episode of Torchwood: Children of Earth over the weekend [thank you ABC iView -- may not work overseas; it lets us download and watch epsiodes of shows on the ABC we missed]. And happy to hear The End of the Time, David Tennant's last episodes as the Doctor [though sad to see him go], will finally be shown here on February 14 and 21.
The first session of the course I am doing, Moral Life in Christ, was exceptionally interesting, thought-provoking and enjoyable. We looked at the dignity of the person, our call to happiness in God, our freedom to make choices and the responsibility that comes with that freedom, the morality of acts and the conscience. Hope to write more about it soon.
Had an almost-issue at work with a lightning strike and power failure [luckily the generator kicked in] and a leaking roof in the server room. Definitely not an Up, but, with the help of great colleagues, I did not panic or get overly anxious.
Attended and stayed [until the issue above occurred!] at a work meeting that had me anxious before-hand.
Apologised to a colleague for any intensity and constant bothering due to my anxiety issues last year, and received a very affirmative and appreciated reply that he was happy to help -- and still was.
Thanks be to God.
