Ok, so as I'm hurriedly wiping down my car on the inside, the $5 machine is washing and waxing my car on the outside...my mind is racing... "What do I do next? What else is on the to do list? How much more time do I have?" My whole day has been a rush...
It started at 2:30 am this morning... moving- yes, I did say 2:30 am- moving into our new apartment- I work in the day... can only move at night... I went to sleep for a few hours... went to work at 6:30 am and worked until 2:00 pm... from there, I jumped into my car, peeled through the parking lot of Ross, Fred Meyer, Burlington Coat Factory, and Target for some last minute shopping- less than 48 hours until the much anticipated arrival of a friend comes! By 3:40 pm I'm racing down 19th Street for an immunization check up for my new job... need to get there before 4:00 pm! By 4:01 I'm running up my phone bill calling back all the people I've been neglecting for the past week with the new apartment, new jobs, and "life." Soon after, I'm racing up three flights of stairs to meet Lori to talk about colors for the room... only a few minutes there... and I'm off again- to go clean mom's house.... I make a detour and realize, "princess"- aka- my car needs a wash... I don't care that it is raining, or that it costs money... I need a car wash now!!! And this brings me to now... the realization has hit me...
When in the world did I jump back into American "rush" culture??? I have no idea...but I don't have time to think about it... I have fifty other things I need to get done tonight! So I've got to cut it short! Gotta run!
