Exhausted!!!

I'm absolutely exhausted! I was up til 3am last night packing and I've only done my books & papers!! Still so many more to go! Woke up late but grateful for a job & a manager that's merciful to my circumstances =) Why am I packing? I don't know if I've told you yet but I'm moving out the end of the month. So in about a week from now, I will be jobless and homeless....hmmmm.....and yet I'm happy about it =)

I've decided to move out since I saw it as a waste of money to pay 3 months rent when I'm not even living there! I tried so hard to find someone to sublet the place, seeing as how I have an awesome roommate and would hate to have to break up the household! =( But unfortunately that just didn't work out. So now I'm packing my things and giving away my furniture (the storage alone would pay for a whole new ikea living room set so why hold on to old stuff?!). Plus the future is so unknown to me now. For all I know I could love Philippines, Cambodia, Europe or anywhere else and stay there =) I doubt that'll happen but there's always that possibility, slim as it may be! =)

Let's see...what else is going on?! I've gotten connected with the head of hospital in Cambodia and he's setting me up with a place to stay while I'm there, so I'll be safe and sound and save money too! =)

I'm collecting items for children (clothes, books, arts & crafts, toys, etc) for the HOPE orphanages in Philippines and have gotten an overwhelming response from people from the Bronx church so I think we might be able to bring 2 boxes for them!

Plans for the ISC is coming along and I've already got a date with a native Filipino brother! =)

Besides the hecticness (is that a word?!) of packing, what makes it so hard is that I have to separate out the things I need for Philippines & Asia, the things for DR, the things for Europe & the cruise, all ahead of time now, cuz there's no way I'll be able to find anything once it's all on my brother's basement!

Plus there's life in general before the big voyage...Work is going well and I'm getting my stuff fairly done (6 more working days left!!!). I have to remember to give my measurements for my bridesmaid dress to Debbie...(I really hope I don't forget that!). Have some random planning and errands to do and finish off and I will no longer be taking on anything more, thank you very much! =) This Saturday is Dorney Park & Wildwater Kingdom!! Whoo hooo!!!! Can't wait to enjoy the water rides (and no I will not be going on any roller coasters you crazy people!). Next Saturday is white water rafting!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yay! That'll be my big celebration cuz by then everything SHOULD be ready =)

Until then, I shall have to exhaust myself! Pray for me please!
