skating on strawberries
last night, i worked. again. i don't mind the "job" part, its the "how are people so stupid?!" part that i get frustrated with. last week, a lady waved a cane around to point at stuff she wanted, and she almost knocked everyone out in the process. last night, i spilled a bucket of strawberries on the floor. it looked like i murdered someone (i didnt). i didnt have time to clean it up right away because people kept coming and coming (monday night must be Official Old People Date Night). so i slipped and slid all over the floor...kinda fun, but slightly dangerous when your holding a knife to make banana splits.
and today...anyone notice the smoke and weird yellow sky? after school, i got a phone call from my mom saying that people right down the road were evacuating and "taking just what was important". a few minutes later, i got another call saying "don't even come home. go right to your grandma's house in pinecraft." o. i was talking to my sister and she was like "we have to start packing, just in case. do you want anything specific?"
people say they have "life changing moments". no, our house didnt burn, and neither did anyone else (at least on our street). but i kept thinking "if my house is gone, what do i have left that really counts?"
we will always have family, and friends (well, hopefully) and memories and all those other typical "feel good and inspired" things...but how willing are we to give up our STUFF?
honestly, my first thought when jolene asked what she should grab was "my graduation board. i need to have a display at bacculareate!"
im always being told to "check my priorities". and sometimes, its scary.
