  • Tired

    Even after a 4 day weekend I am tired. Emotionally, physically....and every other way...

    Today was back to work and I almost wish there hadn't been a long weekend. After lounging all weekend today was exhausting. The lab has been completely slammed with work and I feel like all I am doing is keeping it afloat. Final move is almost finished which is a FANTASTIC thing!

    The week is sure to be busy plus I have started tutoring and will be tutoring 2 evenings this week. The girl is sweet but the hour extra in the car isn't exciting me.

    Next weekend will be a rough one as saying goodbye is always rough. All I have to say is this is a fantastic way to end a crappy 2008. I shouldn't be so critical...negative..I am truly blessed by a job/career that is thriving rather than being threatened by layoffs/closures and I do have a roof over my head and I have my health. But there have definitely been valleys this year and I feel like I am facing another one. God has been preparing me for this this year. If this had happened last year at this time It would have been much harder but, it's still gonna be a rough one. Any and all prayers are appreciated.

    anyway those are my only thoughts right now -- I am off to eat and hit the hay -- 5:30 will be here before we know it!

  • Saaaad News

    I just found out this past week that my best friend is moving -- I am trying to be positive because I know this is a great opportunity for him and that this is what God wants. I can't help feeling like "what's next"...I am sooooo ready for 2008 to be over, it's been a rough year.

  • misc thoughts

    it's been a while since I last updated because well, I don't really have the energy or feel the need to. Work is exhausting, I think I am getting sick....but this weekend I am going out of town to abbysit at a Dude ranch for morgan and nathan and in 2 weeks I am going to Gatlinburg TN to the Great Smokey Mountains National part for a weekend of camping and fun. I really need the vacation!

    Church is great although I feel like so many things get in the way of me actually getting there as often as I like.

    Family is eh...typical of my family

    Freinds....welll other than the girls at work and a few emails between caleb and I....I feel like I have none right now. Everyone has either A) moved away B) stabbed me in the back and ended the friendship or c) stopped speaking to me/returning emails for unknown reasons. These would include all my MoBap contacts. It's wierd to think of where I was a year a go. It's also heartbreaking to feel like all the friendships that you invested so much in are apparently worth nothing because people up and decide not to respond to your calls/emails.

    Anyway done with the belly-aching

    Other than the "relationship" area of my life things are going quite well. I have recently paid off some credit cards and will be paying off all my debt except car and school by Christmas time.

    I am feeling much more comfortable in my job, knowing what needs to be done and not needing to be told. I also feel more valuable because I can pretty much can run things on my own.

    My dog, Bella, is behaving better, AKA pottytraining! It's been hard and frustrating....it really is hard to teach an old dog new tricks.

    I've gotten to do more photography lately which I love and wish I could do more of.

    and that's about it.

    I gotta go do some laundry and pack ...ttyl!
