I finally slept in my own bed last night. It was for the first time in two weeks. Maybe I'm too sensitive about this whole renovation thing, but in all seriousness I haven't slept through the night since we left. My sleeping schedule went to shit.
Today I have more than enough things to do. In fact I think it might be humanly impossible to get everything done in one day, my only hope lies within the strike. I know I shouldn't be looking forward to losing money and classroom time, but to be honest, I could really use a week to get my life back in order. Reading week was a sham. If the strike doesn't happen, then I guess I'll be having a few sleepless night ahead of me.
My family and I are I staying in hotel this week while the renovations come to an end (thank God). I really miss being home. I hate the inconvenience of living out of a bag, or in my case a laundry hamper. I just feel so disorganized and unfocused. I think it has a lot to do with being so unprepared for the month of renovations. I didn't take the time to pack properly, nor did I prepare myself for it school wise. Needless to say I wasn't really happy about this whole situation, but I guess the reward comes at the end, like everything else, when the house looks fabulous and I can throw parties in it. haha
Life is shaping up to be more promising than I expected. My family and I might be taking a ski vacation together if the strike happens, probably if it doesn't either. I was invited to go to New York with my mother and her students. I'm applying for jobs outwest for the summer. Rick and I are slowly but surely saving a friendship. My grandmother and I are planning a trip to California to meet her long lost brothers. Life is grand.
There still are a few minor details that stand in the way of these fabulous things though. I need to push myself harder at school. I desperately need to find a part time job so that I don't go outwest without a dime. I need to pay off my interest to the bank to save my credit rating, also why I need a job. Money would also be something I would need for New York.
So today, I'm off to try and cross a couple items off of my list and continue this upswing life has presented to me. I really think that I wouldn't appreciate these things half as much had I not realized that life can't always be peachy keen.
