1. I called the sister and asked if she wanted to pick a day each week to study/apply for jobs together. We would normally end the call on yeah, let's do that. We would then not do that. Instead, we picked a day/time for next week.
2. I emailed my long distance workout buddy, Ann, and asked if she wanted to start checking in with each other again. We will be in contact weekly to report on our progress.
3. I sent a message to my friend, Elizabeth, and asked if she wanted to go on a walk this week. We're going tonight. It's going to be cold. I'm still going.
4. I sent a message to the (older) brother to say hi.
5. I called the paternal grandma. At the end of the call she said that I had "made her day." I could hear my dad's voice in my head, "you've done good."
6. I called the maternal grandma. We talked for over two hours. She made me feel encouraged about my job search. She said she's been praying for me. She said maybe she would have to make a visit to a certain city too. She was referring to where my grandfather is buried. She said, "maybe I need to ask (your grandpa) for assistance." My grandfather was a minister, our family's spiritual leader really. The reference to him and prayer brought me peace and calm. I don't pray that often anymore. It's hard for me to explain. It's hard for me to understand. I'm not sure what I think.
