My hotel time ran out, so I packed up today and moved into my new temporary lodging. This place is very unconventional, but every ounce of effort I put into it makes it feel a pound more like it's my own. I'm enjoying setting it up..

Also, Gawvi got me again with another great character profile. Based only on the theme, without knowledge of who it was referencing, I was really sure I wouldn't like it. It took me until the start of the second chorus to figure out who he was talking about. I had to listen to the song twice after that. I love it.

Today was another kinda crazy day. More conversations with Warranty companies. More last-minute attention to my job. More bills, etc, etc.. But I felt a lot better about it than yesterday -- although I'm still pretty cloudy-headed. I'm definitely not at 100% yet, but God is carrying me.

I finally got a travel license. I wonder if they'll start requiring these for land-travel at the borders between states. What does a travel license signify? What is its purpose again? Is it just to protect the airplanes? How is it a more reliable form of identification than a regular ID?

Anyway I'm glad I did it, because they allowed me to update my voter registration. So I set my party preference to "Christian Nationalist". Doing it made me nervous, because there were people there about to read the paper I was handing them, and they would have to manually enter it into a computer. And then after I submitted it, I felt a little ashamed about being nervous before. I hope that expressing my beliefs in small ways like this will help me to be more comfortable in expressing my beliefs openly. Everyone is so weird about religion and politics. Why should I hide my worldview? Why does everyone have to act like an atheist in public? When we're at church we talk about every event in terms of God's will, so why should we be any different anywhere else?

In any case, I'm very excited about the change, because if the Christians with premillennial eschatology are right (although I don't personally agree with them), then I hope this puts me first in line at the Colosseum. If God gives me strength, I'll sing a loud hymn and then high-five Ignatius in heaven.

Missing Chowon and the baby a lot. It hurts to think about them sometimes. I'm so busy that I am tempted to let myself become totally swallowed up by my tasks, but I need to remember to be a part of the life of my family.

The church guys are putting up an effort to hold me accountable. They invited me to go bowling tonight. That's where I'm going to go right now.
