Did you have one of those weeks that would not end? This is one of the worst weeks I've had in a long time. After the frantic move home home last weekend I have yet to find some of the basic necessities. My stuff is in boxes in various locations throughout the house. Though it has been fun to say goodnight to my sisters at 6am as they are getting up. My sleeping patterns have suffered a bit. I haven't slept a solid 8 hours all week. Work hasn't helped. I drove to the hospital everyday this week between my 12 hour shifts, a very non-educational skills day, and the oh so ever productive staff meeting. The shifts this week were long and demanding with a lot of cranky people who didn't need to be cranky. Why must people be rude and obnoxious when they don't need to be?
In addition to this I've had the frustration of dealing with a friend who I think is going down a bad path. The reason I moved home was to escape the bad environment and get her attention. Well it did and I explain everything to her. I haven't heard from her since. Even at work she doesn't talk to me. So I've fought the feeling of caring too much and trying not to care at all. Either one didn't work at all.
Between the sleep deprivation, rude people, long hours, and a dying friendship I had about had it on Saturday. I am going on a humanitarian mission in May and had a meeting for it at 8am in Salt Lake City. I was grumpy and everything annoyed me. As I drove around the point of the mountain I saw something like this:
In addition, tucked inside the mountain I saw the lightly glowing Draper Temple. To most people it probably wasn't much. To me it was a tender mercy to remind me that despite my crappy week someone knows and understands. The sun will come up on a better day. Yesterday, I spent it sleeping and playing with my family. I am usually pretty good at knowing my limits and stopping before I push past them. This week was not the case. I pushed too far with no sleep and now I have to recover from it. I applaud those who do so much more than me. A lot of people are busier and have more responsibilities then me and thrive on them. One day I will be able to handle more! The one good thing about weeks--they end!!! On to the next one.
