Thoughts on sleeping in

I suppose I wouldn’t be alone in saying I love weekends with all heart and soul, yet hate Mondays with all I have. It’s interesting how Friday mornings somehow are easier to handle than the rest of the weeks. I mean, I say to myself: it’s Friday!! Tomorrow I won’t have to get up early!! And then, fast forward to Sunday morning and I’m telling myself, ‘sleep in as much as you can, because tomorrow is Monday and you have to get up early for the rest of the week!!’ So yes, I am definitely NOT a morning person. That itself should convince me to go to bed earlier so the waking up would be easier, but sad to say, as with all non-morning persons, the night is our turf. We don’t want to go to bed early; it would feel like a violation of free time and life itself.
Why then all these sad thoughts about getting up early and all fantasizing about sleeping in? You got it! I’m forcing my eyes to stay open this lovely morning while here at in my computer at work. No, it’s not like I went to bed in the wee hours of the morning. I went to bed at the usual time, but it’s just that…Well, if I were offered a penny for every extra minute I try to sleep I wouldn’t be surprised to find myself a billionaire in a few short years.
  But I have good news! In a few weeks my schedule changes and I’ll be working nights. That’s right, I got a new job!! I’m sooo excited, it’s a full time position in a bigger hospital and it pays better. My life is full of blessings and this is one of them. I still can’t believe I got this job, everyone said it was so impossible to get in. To start with, to be a translator  in Parkland Memorial Hospital, (my new job), you have to take a three hour test and pass with at least an 80% in each of the three sections. Yes, they scared me and told me it was only 10% of people that pass this test. But hurray, and thank God, I passed!! So I’m excited about starting this new chapter and starting this new job, and….not having to get up early each day!!!! Yes, it’s not a huge deal…but I assure you, it’s something to look forward to every day of the remaining two weeks at work!
 
Wedding planning, you must be asking yourselves. CRYSTAL how is your wedding planning coming along!!??? That’s the question I get almost every day from loving friends, family and coworkers, and I have to say, it has come very smoothly along. I’ve heard of ‘Bridezillas’ and so many stories of stressful wedding planning but to tell you the truth I have not been stressed for a moment. And I am glad to say all the major things are all taken care of. Ok, I’m not gonna say I won’t somehow along the way freak out and have a stressful moment, but so far it’s been very smooth. And only small things remain to be done, because it’s all planned really, reserved, and ..ok….there are some small details that if they went wrong I might switch from peaceful, relaxed bride, to bridezilla. Let’s hope it doesn’t happen. It’s an exciting time, it’s been a lot of fun to plan and I hope it turns out to be a wonderful day. 
 
Anyway, I think I’ve run out of thoughts for the day and I might as well go back to considering how attractive getting a little nap right about now sounds.
