Why is my room so dusty?

Something is not right when it's 2:10pm and I've already been awake for 9.5 hours. Makes me tired just thinking about it... Oh wait, I'm already tired. I called work last night right before I was going to be to ask about a trip I want to pick up on Saturday. When they answered they informed me that I had a round trip this morning with a 624 duty-in. I nearly cried. I just want one decent length sleep in my own bed. It's been almost a week since I got to do that. But instead, I went to Memphis and back before 11am.

Yesterday I had to get up at the butt crack of dawn as well so when I finally got home from my trip I didn't have the energy to do anything. I sat on the couch and was later joined by Tanya, and then later by Kathryn, and we watched tv, talked and ate fabulous food Kathryn cooked (asparagus wrapped in proscuitto and neufchatel cheese then all cooked together). I was assuming that I'd have the whole day today to get things done... Not so much.

So I got home from work and decided I had to do something about my room. It stresses me out when it's messy and there is stuff everywhere. I sometimes wish I could just throw it all away but somehow I can't. Arg!! I'm on my second load of laundry - the first one hanging out on the balcony to dry because we still don't have a working dryer. I changed my sheets and even washed my duvet cover and pillow shams (is that what they are?). Every now and then I miss the days when Kat or Charity would come help me regain some order in my room. I'm a big kid now and I need to do it on my own. Just wish I could find a way to minimize everything in here. I hate 'stuff'. I want to rearrange my room but since I put those shelves on my wall there aren't that many options. Maybe I can come up with something creative (or get some good ideas from smart people...)

I'm so trying not to stress about money. In a way it's easy cause I can't do much about things right now, but when I start to look at the future it's really, really depressing. This is a bit too much personal info but it's one of the two things that constantly sits in the front of my mind lately so it's hard not mention it. I need to remember to trust God and be smart.

Gotta go change out the laundry so I can take a nap. Hasta la aundry.
