My Week...

So this week was one of the craziest I've had in a LONG time!

It all began Monday...same ol' routine, work in Sac come home and work at church. Typical Monday, but H-O-T!!! I think it reached 96? And by the time I got home that night, around 9 it was 88 degrees in my apartment. ...not ready to turn on the air conditioner.

Tuesday...again, same routine. Work in Sac, come home, grab fast food (which was Carl's Jr/GREEN BURRITO!!!) grab Nick for youth group and I worked at the church. Now TUESDAY was a frustrating evening. Upon getting ready to leave I discovered that one of my keys was missing from my key ring. KeyS don't just "fall off" of a key ring. This key disappeared sometime between 5:45 and 8:30pm. When something that is yours is "taken" from you, you feel violated. I have had my car broken into twice, and the feeling I experienced then was no different than the feeling I experienced Tuesday. As a matter of fact, it was more intense and definitely more frustrating. Tuesday was HOOOTTTTT again an the apartment was 88 degrees when we finally got home. I caved and turned on the air conditioner but it only dropped a degree before I turned it off again.

Wednesday...worked in Sac and had a 5:00 meeting in Folsom. Didn't get back home until 8:30 that night. (So much for getting some laundry done!)

Thursday...work in Sac, head home to grab Nick, fix dinner, work at the church and went grocery shopping after. *sigh* Totally hectic day!!!

Friday...Today was the worst. Work in Sac, (wait, I showed UP for work, but got absolutely NOTHING done because I had to "take care of non-work related issues.") I'm dreading Monday already and Friday isn't even over yet! Came home, grabbed dinner, began to tackle 12 (yep, TWELVE) loads of laundry, and clean. Did I mention that I have had to wash Nick's bedding (comforters and all) twice in two days due to the fact that I have a male cat?!

...and now I'm going to share some of the reasons this week was so great!

The high temps lasted a few days but after that, the evenings have been so extremely pleasant. The fresh air has helped me sleep so much better than I have in a very long time.

Wednesday's "meeting" after work has relieved so much stress and was surprising both at the same time.

I was able to chat online or via text with a few of my closest friends, which is always nice.

Tomorrow, my cat has an appointment with SPCA. Every time I've looked at him tonight, I can't help but laugh... (and look forward to a temperament change)

I broke down and purchased my favorite energy drink which I haven't done in quite a while. (proof that I don't ALWAYS drink Diet Coke!)

Nick and I both chose to give up fries for lent this year. The only time we really missed them was when we'd crave a particular fast food. Tonight was the first night since Easter than we've eaten there and it was amazing!!!

...yes, I even opted for the "double." I hadn't eaten all day!

I lit the candle that my son gave me for Easter. Truthfully, I was a little leery about the scent, but it smells incredible!

And when I go to bed tonight, I will do so with sheets that smell like Gain laundry detergent, a wonderful breeze coming through my window, and a sense of peace in knowing that my apartment is clean. (with more work to be done, but not for another week!)

...22 days until a vacation!!!
