One of my responsibilities at work is to bake cookies. I'm working at a design centre for a home builder, so when clients come in to choose everything for their new home they get fresh baked cookies AND it smells wonderful! The kitchen above is the one I get to bake cookies in several times a day!
Along with baking cookies, I have been reflecting a lot. The last few months have been SO busy. I don't know whether it's having two jobs, changing jobs, taking on too much or what!? I am tired and feeling overwhelmed this week. Stress isn't always a part of my vocabulary - but this week it sure is! I don't want to sound like I'm whining or complaining - but I made my choice to do temp work this summer so I could slow down a bit and relax, to take some time to rest before transitioning this summer. That didn't exactly happen, but I think it's on it's way! This weekend is my last at Pottery Barn (and they're both on call) and next week is my last as the design centre. Then I'll essentially have two weeks off before the big move to Wheaton! Oh....and I'm teaching English for two days to Taiwanese students which should be a BLAST! They're going to the Calgary Stampede one day and to Banff as well, so I may tag along for one (or both) of those days.
At the same time as feeling overwhelmed and tired, I am also feeling very EXCITED. I am ready to move to Chicago and yes, I'm even ready to start school again. I am SUPER excited to meet all of the RA's that I'll be working with and the students in my building and to get back into what my heart is SO PASSIONATE about - ResLife!
