It's One of Those Days

Woke up with my alarm at 7AM, left the house by 7:15AM, got to the lab place by 735AM.

It took me forty-five freaking minutes to pee one ounce into a cup! I drank to pints of water, ran the faucet, thought about crashing waves, did the pee-pee dance and even then, I still couldn't pee into the cup!

My goodness, I was going to end up being there forever! Finally, a trickle and that's it...

At least I was able to fill up four vials of blood in two minutes. Thank goodness for my excellent every phlebotomist's dream veins!

I was out of there in like two minutes before I hit the hour. Headed to McDonald's to buy breakfast and guess what?

I had to pee!

Got home to throw in my scrubs into the washer before eating some breakfast and relaxing 'cause I have a EKG in the afternoon and guess what?

I needed to pee again!

What is up with today?

I woke up in a mood...like in a Texas Revolutionary mood. Little Mexico is on the war path and that's not good...

Let's hope I don't end up screwing something great up but it can't be helped.

Yeah...it's a no touche day. Argh.

After breakfast, guess what?

I had to pee once more!

Well, got to the place for my EKG at 12:15PM, went in at 12:30PM and finally got out at 1PM. They had to redo my EKG four times...they said it was the probes and cables...they weren't placed right, the cables were crossed...really. Your heart is beating just find and it's not all over the scale...it's the probes, we say.

So now I'm starting to wonder...is there something wrong with my heart that it merits four EKGs to make sure the results are right?

Yikes.

So on the drive home from EKG place, I was thinking to myself that I've gotten things screwed up in my head lately what with David coming into my life unplanned and unexpected.

I've actually started thinking that David was my new plan, my new road to walk and who knows, he may be, but that is for God to decide and not me.

God has yet to tell me that my path is changing...so why am I slacking in my studying? Why am I suddenly seeing law school as second choice and David as first choice?

What the potato skins is wrong with my head? So left brain finally made itself heard and said to me:

LUZ, THE ONLY WAY OUT OF EL PASO AND FORWARD INTO THE FUTURE IS NOT THROUGH A MAN...NEVER THAT. IT IS THROUGH GOD, AND THROUGH HIM ALONE. YOUR EFFORTS TO GET INTO LAW SCHOOL SHOULD NOT BE WASTED...YOU SHOULD NOT BE SLACKING OR GIVING UP ON THAT. WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU?! GET YOUR BUTT MOVING AND GET TO STUDYING! LAW SCHOOL IS THE WAY TO GO! IF DAVID IS GOD'S PLANS, THEN THAT WILL HAPPEN IN ITS OWN TIME. MEANWHILE, YOU CAN'T JUST SIT BACK AND TWIDDLE YOUR THUMBS WHILE YOUR WHEELS ARE SPINNING. SINCE WHEN HAVE YOU LET OTHERS DO FOR YOU WHAT YOU CAN DO YOURSELF WITH THE HELP OF GOD? GET IT TOGETHER YOU STUPID SILLY GIRL!!!

Yeah, my left brain isn't very nice...sometimes, I'd like to kill it.

Well, that's my Texas Revolution story of the day.

Adios and hasta luego!!!

You might want to kill the left side of your brain sometimes but, quite frankly, I liked what it told you today. God will tell you if David is the path He wants you take.

Here here Beccs. Even if David is the path you should never give up on the dreams you have. You can have both David and Law School if that's the way it's meant to be. But remember to never rely on a man or man. They won't always be there for you.
