raise a toast
Time is ticking, my friends.
Christmas is Sunday, the year ends next week, and then it's January... The month that begins my exciting new adventure.
This week has been a busy one. I've managed to work late (twice nearly until 7) every night, and have come home in zombie mode. It's pretty bad when you're hungry but can only muster up the energy to make toast. Dinner has consisted of 2 pieces of toast every night this week. Pitiful.
It's a combination of a few things I guess. I'm overwhelmed/relieved/sad/busy at work. I'm thrilled to be preparing for the tour, but I am realizing how leaving my present job will be extremely bittersweet. I've been training the new girl (we'll talk about that in a minute), and I've been personally amazed at just how much I've had going on there the past 3 years. My boss and co-worker keep telling me about how different it will be around there without me. This is an attempt to make me feel guilty for leaving, but it's managing to make me feel pretty appreciated... I'll take whatever I can get!
About the new hire... She's being replaced. In a combination 'I don't think you're right for the job/I was going to quit tomorrow anyway' thing, we severed ties with her today. But my boss has something new brewing, so maybe another smiling face to begin training on Monday? Next week IS my final week there. The excitement continues...
In other news, I'm continuing to wait for more details for the tour. I know the ZOE clan is busy preparing, and with the holidays on their plate now too, I'm trying to keep my eager wits under control and remain patient.
This has been a real challenge for me... But I'm doing okay. It's a little bit of that 'my life is yours, but I don't know you, and I don't know where you're taking me' sort of thing. Oh well, I gotta believe that God opened this door, surely He's taking care of me still!
Wow, 9 o'clock, it's past my old lady bedtime.
...Now about that toast.
