Not So Normal

This week has just been a bad week. However, it is finishing up quite nicely despite the fact I could not sleep Thursday night, so I ended up getting maybe 5 or 6 hours of bad sleep which made me extra tired all day Friday. I finished some of my assignments, but was stressing out trying to get EVERYTHING done. I don't have to get EVERYTHING done right now. I have some time. I just need to remember to relax and have fun with life. John Lennon said, "Life is what happens while you're busy making other plans." I think he means that we should live our lives to the fullest capacity and yes, planning is a good thing, but living is better. We can spend our whole lives planning and not get anywhere. 


Okay, moving on. Mason was kind enough to replace my rear brakes on The Gutless Wonder, so Leslie and Tyler could take it today for next week. Luckily, he had some free time last night and could work on it. I learned quite a bit about cars like, drum brakes are really stubborn and a pain to replace, I feel pretty cool when I have oil and grime on my hands, garages are much nicer to work in than out in the cold (especially with a space heater), mechanics talk to themselves, I called Mason a car dentist, and I got to help by holding the light. Woo! It was a pretty fun night, although not so normal. After taking the car for a test drive to make sure the brakes worked, we finally got to eat. Oh, but before that we were driving by Ellis Elementary when we saw a huge pile of glass, and being the kind citizens we are, went and cleaned it up. And right as we were finishing up, the man came back to clean it up. Good man. During this whole time, I was excited to go see New Moon with my seesters! It was so fun and it was a great movie. I don't care if you don't like the series or think I'm a screaming fan... I enjoyed it and I will always like it. I am fascinated by how they adapt the books to the big screen (Books are usually better than the movies). I think New Moon was a lot closer to the book than Twilight was, however, I like both movies and was thoroughly entertained. And I get to go see it again on Monday! Tuesday I leave for Las Vegas for Thanksgiving. I'm stoked. 


Here's to a not so normal week and having a better weekend! Cheers!
