My Conversion Story

Dunkin Donuts (Reprise)
Today is not Fast and Testimony Sunday. Today I go in later for a short shift. So, today I got the Dunkin Donuts I was craving. I need more food discipline, but today is not the day for that. I need more financial discipline as well, but today we could afford donuts. It’s these little…

Pharmacy
The store was really slow today, so even though there were only four people working front end, I ended up in pharmacy.

Insomnia
It’s 2:30am in Wisconsin and I can’t sleep. It happens to me occasionally. Tonight is fortunate in that I don’t work until Saturday. If I can still get a little sleep this morning I will be tired all day and might get my sleep rhythm back. Of course you can tell that I am blogging…
