so i had a pretty stressful day today.
miscommunication and some harsh words lead to issues/embarrassment with my class at the salon this morning, and i ended up in tears in the back room after finishing my first highlight (which turned out lovely, so there's the upside).
after class, i headed home to begin moving my stuff to the new house. i was feeling overwhelmed but a dear friend showed up to help me and made it much easier, and shanna and austin showed up later as well. i was glad just to finally be able to settle in someplace for (hopefully) more than 3 or 4 months.
it all went to hell after i somehow managed to lock myself out and my new keys wouldn't work! i ended up back at the old place. that was fine, i had some cleaning and a few things left to pack up but i was still stressed not being able to unpack.
as i filled up the sink to wash many, many dishes, i plunged my hands into the hot, soapy water and instantly burst into tears. i let my tears mingle with the suds, and thought about how scared i really am about moving in with strangers to a new house, a new neighborhood, a new ward.
well i'm heading back to the new place with the rest of my belongings. wish me luck.

New adventures... a blessing and a curse! As a longtime housewife, let me just say: Use rubber gloves to protect those pretty hands and when you dry your eyes, square your shoulders and face the unknown you will see that strength lies in the mundane, unsung, unappreciated little everyday tasks that have to be done. One day you wake up and realize that CHARITY (the real kind-- the PURE love of Christ) is just that.
