Time, or lack of time

Time. There is never enough of it when you need it, and always too much of it when what you’re doing is not fun. Lucky for me, my busy schedule is saturated with amusing activities. Well, almost all of it. My week previous and in advance is as follows:

Thursday and Friday of last week, I worked from 4-10pm. My job is not difficult by any means. I mostly sit around checking MySpace and talking to friends who come in to visit me. Sure, there is the occasional phone call or ping pong rental, but I know I cannot complain about my tasks. It’s a really nice job for the making of a relaxing summer.
Friday night I drove home to my parent’s house.

Saturday I cleaned the house for my mom. When company comes to our home, watch out. There will be a transformation that takes place that would not have been done in the absence of visitors. So, the parents hired me as a personal “job finisher.” I need the extra money [Lord knows] so I didn’t mind painting the corners of the ceiling and hunting for cobwebs. [← I hate that word, and don’t know why.] Saturday night I went over to my friend, Nolan’s house and visited with some high school people. We basically stayed up playing the Wii until 3am as I choked back animal allergies. His family owns a small zoo, I swear. It is terrible.

Sunday, I repeated my Cinderella escapades, hosing off the Ficus trees [also an ugly word] and washing the in-house trashcans. I felt pretty successful in my accomplishments, and I was happy to help my mom. And we are all happy when mom is happy. So everybody wins!

Monday, I drove back to my apartment. I worked again 4-10pm. Then I proceeded to pull a déjà vu on my own living space. It is sparking clean at this point.

Today, Tuesday, I had counseling. I am currently at work, 4-10pm. I am packed and ready for tonight because I am driving back home to be ready to help mom again in any way she needs aid. That’s the plan for tomorrow, more chores. Mostly food prep.

Thursday, family from Ohio will be driving from Vegas to spend the week with us. I love my aunt, uncle, and cousin so I am really enthused to see them! It’s been about a year, and who knows when I will be taking a trip to Ohio again. That night, my baby brother, well he’s almost 19 now… but anyway, he will be graduating from high school! It’s shocking! Sometimes, I feel as if I am still in high school myself! Regardless, he will be walking that stage, not soon enough in his opinion I’m sure.

Friday means family graduation parties. Saturday means the departure of my brother to Montana. He will be working there for the summer at a white water rafting resort. I won’t see him for a few months! Let’s move on though, or else my computer will cease working due to tears on the keyboard… Saturday afternoon, my extended family will be coming to see my school and my apartment. Then Saturday night, I will [most likely] be attending a bachelorette party in Newport.

Sunday is Father’s Day that includes swimming in our newly refinished pool and a barbeque. Monday we are going to the Getty Museum, and I looove it! Can’t wait! Tuesday-Thursday morning we will be in Yosemite. Then, back to work from 4-10pm Thursday and Friday night.

Whew! I can’t believe I am going to survive all of that! [Kind of like how you are wondering how you survived reading it all!] However, it is completely enjoyable and I am looking forward to my schedule!

I apologize for my lack of posting to those of you who actually check it. As you can see, my life is a jungle gym of sorts. I have been writing a lot of poetry, but I fear it’s all too dark and dismal. I don’t understand why I write like that! It’s my outlet, I assume. Maybe I will get brave and post one, but until then, Godspeed friends. May your life be filled with good times and people whom make you happy to be alive. Godspeed.
