Oh Saturday

Oh Saturday, how I wish you would last just a little bit longer.

Anticipating Friday felt like waiting for my birthday or Christmas or a BIG event to come. Ryan and I couldn't wait for it to arrive. And now that it's here I know it will fly by. So, although I have dishes to wash, laundry to fold, boxes to pack, errands to run, I am going to sit with my cup a joe and write.

When I say a million things to do, I really mean 510683082615 things to do. I keep staring at all the necklaces hanging on the seashell pegs in my bathroom, thinking: "I really need to pack those. But I need to clean them first, but before I clean them I need to google how to clean them, and then they need to dry and then I can pack them." They're still hanging there.

Can you tell I'm having a hard time packing this time? I keep looking around at our partially packed apartment wondering how we'll ever fit all of this STUFF into boxes. I can't seem to just start putting it into boxes. I just don't know where to begin again. Maybe I'll just get rid of all of it.

Oh, challenges.

This week Ryan and I were tested again. I was sitting at a stop light, on my way home from having coffee with a friend when the car just stalled. The light turned green and I just sat there kind of giggling to myself as cars just kept driving by without stopping. If it weren't for the fact that I was still smiling about my lovely visit with a friend I might have cried. But, miraculously the car started up again and I finished my drive home.

However, the car kept Ryan stranded on the side of the freeway for a few hours. A couple hundred dollars later we're up and running again. Luckily, the extra shifts I've been working covered the fix.

I am trying so hard to not think that it set us back. The money we had saved was serving as an inspiration. I felt good about the extra work I had done and wasn't too worried about picking up more shifts the rest of the month. I almost feel like it was a waste of time. Ryan said it definitely wasn't because it allowed us to fix our only mode of transportation.

I am still confident about attaining our goal for the month. I know every little bit helps.

I should probably google how to clean jewelry, do some dishes, pack some boxes and spend some of this Saturday with Edee and Ryan. I hope all of you enjoy your Saturday.

Keep loving.
