Busy Bee



I've had one of the busiest days today that I've had in awhile! Though I did NOT get any more packing done - which was what I had nebulously said that I would do, I instead completed the following To Do list:

• Get to chapel (albeit late)
• Meet one last time with Ken Milone - my funding coach
• Get to coffee break (always a must ;D)
• Contact a local lab to get my blood typed (for documentation needed for my visa)
• Send lyrics to Awake My Soul and with the Sun (most famous as the last verse is the Doxology) to a friend
• Send an updated picture of myself to be used on my Commissioning Order of Service
• Print picture of Abigail Rose (niece) to go in specific photo frame
• Have lunch (also a must)
• Call my pastor to see how many people had signed up to come to the Commissioning (which led to:)
• Texting another member of the church who'd been the last to see the list
• Print off pictures for a friend as a going away present
• Research cheapest lab to get blood drawn at - contemplate home kit
• Write a note to go in a care package
• Send care package
• Drop off photos at friend's cubicle
• Meet with someone for an interview (arrived too early so left)
• Check in on status of Commissioning and decide to go to local lab (translation: Stopped by Mom's office and got some advice ;D)
• Have interview
• Return home (this meant skipping 3:00pm coffee break!!!)
• Receive birthday pie for Dad from nextdoor neighbour and put in fridge (hey, it was important)
• Send and receive multiple e-mails from Haiti (with regards to upcoming plans and final details)
• Wait for Mom to get home so we can dove-tail going to the lab and Kroger at the same time
• Get stuck for blood (what was NOT completed was actually being successful in the blood draws :( all three were failed attempts...will return Monday after a weekend of hydration and a some aspirin therapy :D)
• Return home
• Drink water
• Check online to renew driving license (discover that for some reason ? this is not possible - send *Help* e-mail)
• Listen to a song on YouTube as suggested by Tiffany
• Eat dinner (a good thing!)
• Drink water
• Go out to the storage shed with a friend to inventory supplies for the Haiti clinic
• Go on Facebook and upload "5" days photo
• Drink water
• Print instructions on navigating the airport in Port.
• Drink water
• Call Walgreens to find out when they close their photo department
• Drive to Walgreens to get passport pictures taken (again for visa purposes)
• Come home
• Drink water
• Watch Foyle's War with parents
• Drink water
• Write blog
• Drink water
• Breathe (;D)
• Drink water
• Get to bed before midnight

The things I didn't get done?

• Bring back empty boxes from the storage shed to put stuff in that is scattered all over Tiffany's floor (oops - to be fair, I did remember to ask about them - just not to bring them back with me)
• Phone an acquaintance for some information for Tiffany (oops)

But all in all I am very pleased with everything I did get accomplished :D And now, if you'll excuse me, I need to...uh...go powder my nose ;)
