long hours and hard nights

school, work, school, sleep, work, school sleep work, sleep, school… and on and on. These long hourso f doing practically nothing are finally wearing on me. Last week, I had my normal course load on wednesday, then afterward spent time with the family and then had to work my normal 1030-630 shift at the hospital. When I got off I went home and fell asleep for 3 hours, then drug myself out of bed and drove 2 hours down to omaha to get fitted for a tux for my brothers wedding. After that we played 18 holes of frizbee golf at a gorgeous course at Iowa Western University. Then another 2 hour drive home and shower then work. After a long night, I head off to school to take two tests and then I can finally sleep.

Long hours and hard nights…

These trials pass, nothing I can’t handle.You Just Gotta Breathe, and let what ever is happening hit you like a wave, and do whatever you need to one step at a time.

I have confidence that you can do what you need to. I have faith in you. Just breathe.

Tell your mom you love her today. Til later, keep seeing what can’t be seen.

Update :)

Late nights, early mornings and so much to do has left me with no other conclusion than coffee is god!  Since I last wrote I have moved states, gotten a new job and pretty much turned my life upside down.

I went from living in denver metropolitian area to the small country town of Norfolk, Ne. From a few million to 23k.  From starbucks on the corner to nil a mall.

I went from being big man on campus at my lovely little bowling alley to being the “new guy” in an all female department at a hospital.  I went from working normal people hours, 9-5 to working the vampire shift 1030p-630a.

I went from being all on my own to livin with the rents again! <— thats a big change as it is! Holy shit!

Well although all that may make you ask me, “Why would you do it? Doesn’t it suck?” I’d tell you no.

Yes, Norfolk is small

Yes, Work is different

Yes, going socially cold turkey is hard.

BUT! There are so many little blessings here that I can do nothing but love it! Take today for example, I spent the morning sleeping in, which i never used to be able to do. Then I woke up to a beautiful 70 degree weather day, and went frolfing (frizbee golfing) with two of my cousins. Great times! Afterwards spent the evening with my family going through a few tubs of photos that had come out of my late grandfathers house. Memories are blessings from God (and not the coffee one in this case 🙂 ).

 

So how can I say that everything is bad. Life is good, small pleasures is something that I think I was missing out on. I need this right now, let’s call it a move to rejuevenate. A trip to revitalize. A trip at a new life.

Til next time, which hopefully will be soon, drink your carmel machiattos for me, enjoy the hussel and bussel of life for me and I will enjoy the slow pace and fresh air of lil ole nebraska. Good luck and let me know what can be seen.
