...you approach the dryer to fluff the clothes you left in there the day before. Only to realize that the dryer is, in fact, empty. And you never put the clean clothes in the dryer to begin with.
This has happened twice in the past couple of weeks.
Oops.
But other than that...life has been pretty good. Busy, but good. In the past two weeks I have been to..................5 or 6 states. At least one of them I visited twice. And I've done 9 days of training. Twice I got back to my house in the middle of the night, simply because I wanted to sleep in my own bed so badly, it was worth the drive home. And now, instead of leaving again tomorrow...I actually get a couple of more days off. Good, home made coffee will be drank. Books will be read. I might even go for a run or two. If my somewhat cold riddled lungs will allow it...that is.
I've been asked a lot since I moved back if I'm happy with the decision to move back...and also...how the job is going. I honestly had no idea how great it was going to be. I absolutely love it. Yes, I hate hotels, airports, and rental cars. And I look forward to the day (eventually) when I don't have to rely solely on this job for income or to survive. But it's been a wild, crazy, amazing journey. I feel incredibly blessed to have this opportunity. And to be surrounded by such amazing people while I'm doing it.
First of all, my life could not happen right now without my parents. My dad has been caretaker extraordinaire...the man makes sure my house is still in one piece, collects my mail, mows my lawn, makes sure my garden doesn't die, and then some. Beyond that...I can't tell you how many times over the past few weeks I've called or sent a text message to my parents asking them to buy groceries and deliver them to my house. And then I'll just invite myself over for dinner while I'm home too.
Yeah...they're pretty amazing people. And I love them a lot.
Believe me, I look forward to the day that I spend enough time at home that it's worth actually grocery shopping myself (let alone having the time to do so) but it's nice having them so close and so willing to take care of me. Parents...their job never ends.
But other than my parents...I'm just feeling overly blessed right at the moment. Things have been going well. Yes, I'm sick, and tired. But it could be worse. Yes, I've lost a lot of sleep, and my back is killing me from carrying my computer everywhere, and sleeping in bad hotel beds. But for some reason...I'm actually really...happy right now. I'm just reminded every day that no matter where I am, the sun will rise, my friends will still be my friends (and they're all pretty amazing too) and that frustrations are ever present. Life is never going to be easy. But I also know that everything happens for a reason. I have the option of how I approach things...and the ridiculous, over the top positivity has definitely been working. Everything that I've been through in the past has made me, not only a stronger person, but also has been building to something. I can't exactly tell you what that something is. But big things are in the future. And everything I'm going through now, the good, the bad, and the tired...all shape the future. And I have to say...I'm excited.
