Today went well. It seems that the farther into summer we get, the easier it is to get up at 7:00am or earlier to be at work around 8:00. My goal this morning was to be to work by 9ish. My internal alarm clock woke me up at 7:00 and I showered, got dressed, and was settled at work by 8:15 and I wasn't even complaining about it. I guess if I get used to working early, it will be super easy to get up for my 10:00am classes in the fall. Or I'm just blindly misled. Either works for me; I'm an easy going kind of girl.
Even though it's semi-easy to get up and go, it IS NOT easy to stay there. I am doing the most boring work that exists. I still have this huge pile of stuff to catch up on from vacation, and I have to take it in the order it came in. Deadlines are fast approaching. I should have gone in this weekend, but that's another paragraph. I am doing 8+ hours of filing. Not the big files that you just have to put on the shelf, no sir. Those are too easy. I am taking single pieces of paper that you have to look in the database to figure out which client they belong to, then what matter, then what category within the file. And I seriously have a stack of papers over two feet high. Anybody wanna help me???
Anyway, this weekend went well. Parents were still gone as of Friday and Saturday and were coming home Sunday evening. I honestly can't remember what I did on Friday night. Maybe Derek does. Ask him. I'm pretty sure I was with him. Oh wait. I did nothing. I went out to his house after work, napped on the couch until he got home, ordered pizza, and watched a movie. And that's it. More fun that it sounds, I promise. On Saturday, Derek called me when he woke up and I started getting ready to go out to his house to hang out with him and Matt as they worked on the shocks on the Eagle. That is, until he called back telling me he just found out is dad was in the ER with a kidney stone. So I rushed over to NOCH to meet him there and was there until around noon. Then we finally did make it out to work on the car, but it cancelled our plans for Mad Dogs on Sunday. Bummer, but it'll be okay and even more fun next year. I think I just relaxed the rest of the day on Saturday. On Sunday, Derek had his car in the Wheels of Grand Haven car show Downtown. That was a blast. Talked to both Brett and Ken and even ran into Mrs. Mesler from seventh grade english class. My dad came out to spend the day with us and Derek even got a second place trophey in his class out of the deal. I got sunburnt, but ah well. Much, much fun.
Well, see you all later. God bless.
~Patience serves as a protection against wrongs as clothes do against cold. For if you put on more clothes as the cold increases, it will have no power to hurt you. So in like manner you must grow in patience when you meet with great wrongs, and they will then be powerless to vex your mind. (Leonardo da Vinci)~
