Lately, life has been hectic. I am now scheduled for six days at the swanky restaurant and one of them is a double. This does not include my schedule from my other job. The sad thing is that I am scheduled to work at both places on July 4th, so no 4th of July celebrating for me. But I knew that this was going to happen. I knew that once it hit July that my life would be my work. Don't get me wrong, I love my work and knowing that I am getting closer to paying off school. I am also planning a vacation for spring break, and money doesn't really grow on trees.
My family and I were watching the travel channel and the show about favorite travel spots was on. It was talking about Ireland and where one should go. I looked at my sister and said "we're going to go there. I want to go there." We discussed it, and I believe that she thought that I wasn't quite serious, but I am. We decided next fall because summer was our busy time. Not this fall, but the following fall so that I had more time to save up. This will not just be a dream, but a reality. I am going to Ireland... soon.
Speaking of family, my grandpa isn't doing well at all. In fact, the proper phrase to describe him at this moment is that he is dying. Slowly and painfully. I mean I have lost many people in my life, but not one do I remember watching them suffer. I know that they did; however, I was too young to understand or really see that they were. Watching him go through so much has a been really hard on me and my family. There is a point where one stops praying for a loved one to get better and starts praying for the pain to go away and that it will go fast. That point was reached a while ago. I just want his pain and suffering to go away, but it pains me at the same time to know that to make that happen I lose him forever. Why does it have to be so hard?
One of my best friends is home from work for the week. She works at a camp for pre-teens and teenagers. And what I have heard so far is that she loves it there. She is having a blast. I am really glad to hear it and to know that I get to see her one of these days, but she is only home for the week, so I have to make haste to see her. I do miss her every much, but I'll be seeing her soon. I think that will be my 4th of July celebration even if it isn't on the 4th.
Happy fourth of July!! May the fireworks you watch wow you. I know that I can't wait to see them!
