If it's not one thing, it's another...

I can officially say I am a college sophomore!!!! Had my last final this morning. Have my room all packed up. The next step is moving out....which is turning out to be more stressful that one would normally expect it to be.

Mom is in town, staying with some friends of ours. She has no car and they work all day. The best plan would be to have her use their car when they get off work, come move all my stuff out, and then I would be done. One problem, their car is not that big, so it would take a few trips to get all my stuff to the storage unit. The woman's boyfriend has a pick-up truck, but he does not speak English....so, I think what is happening is....they will get home from work, use the boyfriend's truck and come move me out. Seems simple, no? Hopefully it will be.

I am all packed, out of meals on my meal plan, and have absolutely nothing left to do. So, moving out tonight would be the absolute best thing for me.

My roommate and her dad just left to get his rental car and go check him into his hotel. I am assuming they are also going to go put the money down on our storage unit. If not....I obviously cannot move out tonight...I am pretty sure that is one of their errands though.

Ah the stress. Of course nothing involving my family can be stress-free, that is just not how we function. Having been away from home for about a year though, I have come accustomed to stress-free daily activities and this new-found stress is unnerving...lol. It's like humidity. When I live in Florida the humidity did not bother me. I moved out to Arizona, went back to Florida for a visit and couldn't believe how horrid it was to be in humidity. That is my family: humidity; and I have been adapting in the dry desert.

Love them though, and once I am officially moved out and on my way, things should calm down a bit. I mean, mom and I still have no way to get us back to Vegas, but that bridge will be crossed once I finish crossing the bridge I am currently on. If I had my own car, most of the stress going on in my life right now would be non-existent...however, I do not have a car. A lot of things would have made these events non-existent; but, no use complaining or hoping for a miracle. I just have to accept things as they are and take it from there. I will continue leaning on the Lord for all my support and on my friends for theirs.

Hopefully my next post will have some relieving news...
Until then:

Bon Appetit
