Longest short week of my life

Work has been hell. I seriously have been going in early and leaving late. I guess it's the growing pains of moving warehouses and not having half your inventory in the same place. I think it's going to be that way for the next couple months. At least until after Christmas. The Christmas season rush is starting on Friday. It feels like it started Monday. I barely got through all of the order holds that were placed on Monday, today. Our UPS count usually drops during the week after Monday. It went up. Monday we had just over 1o0. Tuesday we had 155 and today we had 177. Most of the items were shipped through my shipping line. I. Am. So. Tired.

I slept in till the last possible moment this morning; pulled some jeans and socks on and left. I'm wearing the same shirt I did yesterday and the thing is, I really don't care right now. I want to sleep. But at the same time I don't want to get some much sleep that I feel gross or wake up at an ungodly hour.

Monday I went to go hang out with Jake. We were supposed to go to FHE after having our little chat, but by the time we noticed what time it was, we were an hour late. I don't claim to have known him all too well in the beginning, but now, I know why he isn't dating or why he's not too quick to wanting to start a family...at least a little bit. In short: he has had a really rough life. Lots of tough shiz to live though. We understand each other on a whole different level that other people, if we explained what we've gone through, wouldn't understand at all. It's weird. The people we hang out with, we go to their houses and they have pictures up with them and their parents and siblings all smiles.

Anyway, enough about that. All I know is that I definitely don't like Jake like that anymore. I do like him. He's a great friend and he understands what's gone in my life better than anyone other than my family. But it's totally jaded him. He likes girls, he talks about going out on dates with girls in the ward but never does anything about it.

*sigh* Life is certainly interesting right now....

and...

I.Am.So.Tired!!

Wow, Joyce, I didn't know about the two guys, I think you told me about Jake. So... how are things going with Blake? He sounds nice or is he out of the picture now? Can't wait to see you!

It's Okay to Be Sad

I'm sitting in my room nursing a 7-up because I ate too much cheese with my dinner. Being lactose sensitive, edging on completely intolerant, totally sucks. Sometimes dairy doesn't bother my stomach too much, but I guess eating cheese on a completely empty stomach wasn't the greatest idea but damn, that artichoke and spinach cheese dip was delicious. Was it worth it in the end? Meh..I could go either way at the moment. I just had a memory pop up of my first swig of raw cow milk. It was delicious and totally didn't make my stomach hurt. Anyhow, at lot has been swirling around my brain as of late. Here is a bullet list of the swirling mess: When I left UVU a little over 10 years ago, my GPA was a 1.95. When I came back in the fall I had to fill out a satisfactory academic progress (SAP) report thing to 1.) get my financial aid released, and 2.) promise to get a C or better for the remainder of my time at UVU. Well, I barely got a D in sociology 1010 class in the fa...

Mama

Dear Mom, You've been gone 12 years now and I miss you just as much as I did when you left this earth to live with our Heavenly Father. Life has been hard since you've been gone, but I'm sure you know. Yesterday, on your anniversary, I went to lunch with Felisa and visited Stephen and his wife, Shauna in Salt Lake. Who would have thought that almost all us adult siblings would live within an hour's drive of each other? In Utah, no less. We didn't really talk about you, but I'm sure that we were all thinking of you. My heart ached for you a little bit more. I thought of you on Sunday, since it was the day of the week that you passed away. During the Sacrament, I thought of you and everything you taught me about the Gospel, about Jesus, about facing your fears, about forgiveness. When it came to the bearing of testimonies, I was already crying. Half due to allergies and half due to thinking of you and missing you. I was always the sensitive one. Dad's ex-wife ...

Done

I am so happy that I'm done moving! Now comes the almost unwelcome task of unpacking. As it would have it, I've moved into a smaller space and I need to throw out a few things. Maybe, once everything is cleaned up, I'll take pictures. My younger brother, the previous tenant of the space, has left the bathroom a complete mess. Thank goodness for Scrubbing Bubbles and some pretty amazing toilet cleaner. It'll probably take a another day or two to get the shower to the point where I won't be afraid to shower in it. Its pretty nasty I tell you. Anyway, I'm running out of things to write about today. I'm not feelin' it...
