Whirlwind.

I missed three meals and lots of sleep over the past couple of days, and everything is jumbled around in my head right now. You know how you want to fall asleep and let everything just sort itself out while you’re unconscious? I kind of want that to happen.

Pickup trucks and wood chips. I drove five hours to an interview yesterday and five hours back today, and eighty percent of the time I was behind some random pickup truck that leaked wood chips. ??? Made no sense. On the way there, and the way back, pick a truck and it would be dripping wood. I probably looked like a drunk driver behind said trucks as I veered from one side of the road to the other to avoid the wood that departed the jacked-up Fords (and they were pretty much all Fords).

Adrenaline. Is there an off switch for this?

Encouragement. I am thankful for the amazing friends God has brought into my life. Just one thing someone says can help turn your day around.

Attitude. I realize I tend to complain more than I do appreciate. It’s something I want to change. (Just thinking of blog topics: What annoys me? what do I hate? what do I want changed? yeah…that kind of mindset is something I’d rather do away with.)

Home. Five hours away is farther than I thought. Anticipation can be better than the real thing. Sometimes you realize that home is less about geography, and more about your family, your friends, the people you know and care about.
