Tonight I had planned on a wonderful blog. One reflecting on the wonderful messages of General Conference. And on my impending entry date at the MTC.
With that being only a month away I looked forward to an exciting blog. But that's going to have to wait. Because as I went to write that blog, quotes and everything prepped in my head. I stepped onto the carpet in the basement outside my room. Immediately my dry socks were soaked, clear through. So rather than writing an uplifting hopeful blog I spent the last hour and half using the carpet cleaner to try to clean up the flooded basement.
There is of course still water in the carpet now, but I'm exhausted and the machine was slowing down so it will wait till morning.
Of course that came on the Sunday when I realized I have 4 skirts and one vest to make. 2-3 shirts or 2 shirts and one dress to find and purchase as well as a blazer. I need to find somewhere that does MMR's as I need to get two and they need to be 30 days apart. So that has to be done tomorrow. I still have tons of preparation to do for my mission; such as going to the temple which will be a week long trip as I'm going to Utah the day before my Mom's 1st generation family reunion. And since they probably need me to drive them home I can't just leave early. And to top it all off, the smallest deal of all, but maybe the most painful I just found out the person I loved for 3 years just got a new girlfriend, who is of course the age of my younger sister.
So what was going to be a wonderful evening of reflecting on the joy and challenges of what's to come it turned into a night where stress conquered all. In fact I now can't even remember my favorite quote from conference that I had planned to put in my previously planned entry.
Here's to tomorrow, it can't be worse than today.
