I don't recall the last time I got more than 5 hours of sleep a night, and having the craziest dreams, that have some relation to current stress in my life. I suppose I am the kind of person who would stress if there was nothing to stress about thinking that I am forgetting something, which would cause stress while I figure out what THAT is. It is a vicious cycle I suppose, and one that I have chosen to live with.
This month is already roaring crazy. Did pretty decent numbers at work last month, and was top 20 in my district, so that is always good work wise. The better I do at work, the easier my transfer next year will be. This month I am starting as strong as possible since I am also on vacation at the end of the month, so I have less time to make a good amount of money. Not that I love money, but it is definitely a necessity. Work has been so busy lately, I am barely able to catch my breath. To top it off, one of my Grad classes finished this week (Human Resources Management). This is one course I would love to have had longer, as this is the field I plan to go into long term and hopefully with Verizon. Depending on where God ends up leading. This past week I had 4 papers due, one being a 10 page project APA final paper, and a power point presentation, 25 discussion posts and a quiz... and tons of reading. Let's just say my brain is a little exhausted. And my body is right up there with it.
In about two and a half weeks the Mexico Team will be heading down, and I am trying to get well-rested for that and out of this weird cold funk I have been in for weeks it seems. I know being sick is not ideal, and so I am trying my darned-est. The highlight this week is some of the High Schoolers are graduating this week-- so definitely keep our youth kids in your prayers as they will be beginning a new chapter in their lives with lots of changes to go with it. The Mexico Team as well as it has been getting more dangerous in Mexico. Prayer that God would keep us safe and protected from harm and from any illness or injury. Prayer that we would be spiritually prepared, and for the adults who are going to have the energy to also monitor the youth on this trip. Another highlight this week is that I get to buy my plane tickets for going to NYC in October. I am going for my birthday, and to unite with my "twin"-- the other Caitlyn Lawton in the world, who is quite the awesomeness that goes with the name would entail. I am excited for that, and a friend is coming with me.... so it is always nice to share the love of your favorite city with people you enjoy being with! I am excited to see my friend Bianca out there, and Jessica (friends I made from my last trip). I also hope to catch up with friends who are going to be moving out there (Liz and Brian Crawford who will be doing ministry work in Brooklyn), and friend from high school (Tiffany Rivette!).
So.... in the midst of the insanity called my life... things are going strong-- but busy. My car is still being high maintenance. Makes me miss my Japanese car a bit, but I really do want it to run well, because overall I do like the car, and have wanted a Jetta since I was in high school... so I got one... now it just needs some lovin' and the inside will be as awesome as the outside :)
That's about it... I know nothing too exciting.
