So much to do ... so little time....

There is so much to get done today.

I get off work today around 12:30ish... then the rush begins. Mainly because I was lazy last night when I got done with wedding stuff and couldn't move. And who wants to do laundry when it's dark and cold outside?!?!? not I!

So today when I get off work I need to run over to Walmart and pick-up a prescription which I called in yesterday. I hope they have it done once I get over there. I guess they go on break from 2-3:30... what weird lunch hour time.. why can't they hire anyone to cover lunch... or have two people working? But then again it's Walmart :)

It might be a little tight because I have a youth thing at 4pm. I know, I know, I quite already... like back in November... but the youth don't know that yet and I have to tell them. So there will be pizza involved (pizza's always a sure bet) and some type of game, yet to be determined. I really don't have time to do much tonight but this was the best time I could find to break it to them. PB worries about them taking it hard, but I don't feel like I have done a good enough job for them to really miss me. Not that I think I suck at youth ministry, but I just haven't had the time to do what I think they deserve and don't spend enough time with them to form great bonds. Another reason why I think I need to step down. I think they need someone with more time.

Tomorrow I leave for Pine Ridge at 6:30am. Ugh. I don't even want to deal with it. I just need one more day to sleep in. One more day to relax... One more day to get things done... like laundry. Something about having underwear to wear and that being important, I don't know.

I also need to pack... packing for a weekend is easy, but 2 weeks is a little bit more difficult. It's just nice that I don't have to worry about looking good or about what I wear. I just get to learn, work, learn some more, and hang out... kind of like camp. Camp is the one place that I love not only for it being camp but because of what camp makes me... less selfish. I'm so busy helping others that I even forget if I have showered that day. I like that life. I like it when I worry less about me...

So maybe that's the lesson here... this too shall pass. I will worry about my stuff for 24hrs and then it will be about others for 2 weeks. Maybe I will find that more relaxing then the one more day of being here.

Oh yeah... final thought.... I miss Eric. Bunches. 2 1/2 more weeks. They should go fast. Then I get to see him and a bunch of friends and hang out at the Rodeo in Rapid. Life doesn't get much better then that! And it's only 7 months and 5 days till I don't have to leave him all the time.. that seems doable and will hopefully go fast!

once again, thanks for saving my life- and I'm not being dramatic. Life is so difficult without friends- especially friends who care enough to call other friends to remove a radiator cap. have fun and learn a lot on pine ridge...blog if you get the chance.
