Five Random Things

So new tradition for Thursday posts. I'm putting up five random things. Because coming up with a new topic every day is really starting to fry my brain. And besides, who doesn't like a tradition? So here goes...

Five Random Things:

1. I am a night owl. I always have been. I know you can train yourself not to be...or at least to tolerate the morning. I used to get up at 4:45 a.m. for work when I lived in Vegas. Because contract time was 6:40. And then the first bell rang at 7:00. I lived about forty-five minutes (without traffic) away. It was tough. I got used to six hours of sleep a night. That's rough for me...a person who needs seven and a half to eight to feel really functional. Maybe that is why I wanted out of that job so bad! Anyway, all this to say that I sort of wish I was a morning person.

2. Ironically enough, there are days that I miss the long drive home. Traffic was a biotch after school, so it took an hour or more to make it around the valley. But I miss the freedom of the road, and I especially miss having the time to just think, listen to a book or music. I swore I hated that drive, and I didn't want to do it ever again after I left. But there is something about the desert. I know I say I hate Vegas...but? Maybe hate is a strong word. I'm not going to say I'd never live there again because every time I say that, I end up in that place. Still, Vegas wasn't all bad.

3. I'm really confused a lot about being an adult. I thought by now my life would be figured out. But lately I feel like an extremely insecure fifteen-year-old. It sort of bites!

4. I don't want to leave Texas. I don't I don't I don't I don't I don't!!!! But I don't want to stay. I can't even think about my brother or Leah or the girls. I can't. But my room is practically stripped of all my belongings and there is nothing for it. I wish I had a Samwise Gamgee to take this journey with me because I am rather tired and worn out of going it all by my lonesome.

5. I am exhausted emotionally, as you can probably tell by this super happy post of super happy random things. Still, sometimes life is hard. And you have to do hard things. I guess right now is one of those times.
