i think i need a planner. and i am making another list. gotta love those. i am not really a list maker. however, if there was ever a time for lists it is now.
work is good. i have the best supervisor ever. i feel so lucky to have her (esp compared to my previous). she comes to my rescue. being at work the majority of the daylight hours, it makes a huge difference to have someone who listens, calms me down when i burst into her office freaking out or listens again (and laughs sometimes) when i need to vent about something (work or non work related). she works with me, and when something comes up she is flexible and takes stuff in stride (as well as stressing out occasionally, but that gives me an opportunity to help her so even though i dont like her to stress either, im glad it can work both ways).
i have been trying to figure out my whole schedule for work and when i am leaving and looking at my options and all that.
i got some mission clothes. i went shopping with betty on saturday and we got some good stuff. she is determined that i have "cute" missionary clothes-not the frumpy stuff you sometimes see on sisters. it was good to go with her 'cause she could tell me what stuff would be okay and what stuff i wouldn't be able to wear, and i got honest opinions from her. i went with linda in the afternoon and got a couple things. i pretty much just need boots, another good pair of shoes (brown) and a heavy coat, for the main clothing items. both of which i'll probably end up getting in utah or idaho before i go.
and i got to see kokob today!! happy day! we met up at starbucks before work, and then after work we met up again with some of her old co-workers (again at starbucks) and it was so great to see her again. gosh i miss that girl! we had FUN times!
i need to get a pair of shoes out of my storage unit. for the third day in a row.
i need to be "well versed" in the temple handbook- do you know how much that stresses me out?? do i have to have sections memorized? be able to quote it? will i be quizzed about what quote is on what page? how many sections the handbook has? this is where i stop thinking and just start reading it-again. my interview is on sunday.
i saw transformers on saturday. for all the hype it got i wasn't as impressed as i thought i would be. a couple things bothered me about it. i also watched the first half of with about 15 people carrying on 4 different conversations.
i really want to do something fun for halloween. so far i have heard about a party in vacaville this weekend. but nothing for next week. halloween is on a wednesday anyways, so that puts a damper on things. i am going to the optometrist that day. ha, what a party that will be!
as for other stuff happening in my life...im transferring my records back to my family ward <3 so i will start going there this sunday or the next. i wrote about work. im going to idaho for thanksgiving. i miss my friends and family and wish i could see them all before i leave! i will get to see some of them. and i have gotten to see more of them over the past couple months, for which i feel very lucky to have been able to do.
and i guess overall even though im excited to go on a mission i have also been very overwhelmed and stressed about it. today was a good day in that i got some advice i really needed.
