Don't Stop Believing...

Today is only Tuesday, but it feels like it is the tenth Thursday of this week. I mean seriously, how much slower can this week move? Better yet, how much more can I cram into one week? My work week started last Wednesday, and I haven't had a day off since. Crazy, yes, I know I am, but see the justification that I can make for that is that when all is said and done all of this time will go to paying off the wedding, and then no one is owed any money. Looking back, I wish I started my part time job earlier, then I wouldn't have to try to work myself to death. My motivation now, besides knowing that the wedding will be paid off is Friday. Yes, my next day off is Friday, and it won't even be a real day off, or even a nice 3 days off. My STBH and I are moving into our own little home this weekend, and so my days off will be spent packing, moving, moving and unpacking. I am excited, but apparently we didn't really think this whole moving thing out thoroughly before we jumped to do it. I mean they did give us an offer we couldn't refuse, but we probably could have waited until after the wedding to move and then I wouldn't be working myself to death. Again, it is a decision that I made, and while right now Iamthisclose to jumping ship and quitting, I know that my wedding is just around the corner. I can see it now. So how much crazier can I make this week...lemme think. Oh right, today, at 11am (when I am supposed to be sleeping) I have my final appointment with the florist. It's OK, I don't know how long the appointment is going to take so I chose earlier than later so that I wouldn't be late for work. Really, I just have to make it through tomorrow, because Wednesday I don't go into work until 11pm; then Thursday I work one more 12 hour shift. Oh yeah, I am also checking on a cat for a friend who went on vacation, so I believe, nope I know that I am probably going to go to his house, check on the cat and then pass out by his pool. I will be able to kill 2 birds with one stone, sleep and tan. Even if it is only for a couple of hours...who wouldn't like to pass out by the pool. Free tanning! No membership required! If it's free it is for me!
Does it sound like I am stressed, no, not at all ;) I have so much more packing to do, and all I really want to do is sleep. I have no idea how I used to do this every 6 weeks as a travel nurse. Seriously, I was always so excited to move (well except one time while in Texas), but seriously I used to be able to pack all in like 6 hours. I started packing last Tuesday, yes, A WEEK ago, and I still feel like I haven't made any progress. On top of that I keep worrying that something is going to not get planned on for the wedding and then something major comes up and then what?!?! OMG I think I have completely lost my mind.
Enough of that...seriously, I am totally stoked to be moving, and even more stoked to be getting married to my best friend. I am looking for beginning that new chapter of our lives and living like a married couple. I am looking forward to cooking (when the STBH lets me), cleaning, vacuuming, heck I am totally looking forwarding to riding my bike to work for that last minute exercise crunch before the big day. Sorry, I just had a lot on my mind, and while I don't mean to whine, I FEEL 1000% better and feel like a huge weight is lifted off of my shoulders.
Have a Happy Tuesday...hump day is just around the corner.
