Today started out and ended wonderfully! It's the stinking middle part I could have lived without.
This morning I worked morning shift. So I got up in time to work out and even had time to grab one of my favorite breakfasts. Then work went excellent as I was able to finish all of the payroll that needed to be done in record time. I was even happier when lunch time came around and I was going to be able to eat lunch with the best friend Kayla. We were going to get Mexican which just made things even better! Then the day started to take a downward slope.
Kayla picked me up and took me to pick up my car, as it has been in the shop for quite a few days. When I got in my car I noticed that there was a HUGE crack in my windshield, of course right in my line of vision. I went to lunch anyway, but Mexican just isn't quite as good when you know you are going to be spending more money on repairs soon. I talked to the guy at the shop, who is also an amazing family friend, and found out it had been cracked when he picked it up to repair it, so apparently it must have had like had a tiny crack that expanded in the heat or something. The insurance will cover it, but only after I pay the $250.00 deductible. Then while I am in the midst of an amazing tutoring session, the doctor's office called to talk about my test results. Everything seemed normal overall but they want me to go in for one more test. And just to clear things up... I am not being tested for cancer or anything, I have just been having some issues that I would rather not post for all to read. After the doctor's office called I was all stressed out again. Not only do I not have all of my money for England anymore since I need to pay for my car, but now I have to do another test and still not have any real answers, only nervousness about what it could be.
Luckily the day began to get better after those few incidents. When my mom got off work we packed up the car and headed to Schaumburg. My dad was offered to upgrade his room to a suite for only $10 so of course he jumped at that chance. I must say that his room is especially sweet...but at least John and I have a separate room, and therefore separate beds. My family relaxed in the suite for a while though and just watched some episodes on Netflix while eating some fabulous pizza. After eating the pizza I felt guilty so I came back to my room and did 30 minutes of a Taebo video. Man did it kick my butt. Kick...get it? Oh how I crack myself up. Well I am looking forward to some time to watch Ally McBeal now and just relax. Though I do wish I had some water after that workout, but I guess Diet Mountain Dew will have to do. I am looking forward to tomorrow as we are going to hit up some of my favorite Schaumburg restaurants and shops. Though I guess I should really watch how I spend my money now.
At least throughout this whole day I have know that the Lord is truly with me all of the time. It is amazing how you can truly feel His presence when you surrender your life to Him. <3
Oh I almost forgot! Last night I went over to where I store my furniture for the apartment. I have been staining a coffee table..which is turning out really nice. I will post a picture when it is completely done. But I was also able to see my finished couch. My Uncle John's friend reupholstered it for me and it looks fabulous. What do you think?
I am totally in love with the couch! Our living room colors are blue, green, and brown. It is going to fit perfectly!
I keep thinking of random tidbits of information. But some kids went to my room today to help me pack. We were messing around and taking funny pictures with my computer. They just thought it was the coolest thing ever.
And the last one....well I might have had fun with the camera too!
Well I really do need to stop writing now and head to bed...or rather to watching tv.
Until later,
Sarah <3
