Fabulous Nonsense

So I want to write, but I honestly have no idea what to write about. I've started this draft over multiple times. At first it was going to be about Fictional Characters, and then it was going to be about serious things like growing up, and then it was going to be about my life, and now it's just me typing absolute nonsense.

But nonsense is good sometimes, right?

Well, if you are the Mad Hatter, nonsense is fabulous!

So I guess today is all about being fabulous, and maybe catching up on my life. That does seem sort of important since this blog is written to chronicle my life. It would defeat the purpose to talk about my neighbor's life, what fun would that be?

So in a single word I'm going to describe my summer so far:

Work.

That's right. For the past two to three weeks I have had only like two days off. Is that not brutal? When you are standing for five and a half hours every single day with only one ten-minute break to sit down, your body begins to hate you. It starts with the heels, then the ankles, then the back, and then suddenly the rest of your body wants to join in the pain just for the fun of it until your whole body is aching and you have this massive headache, and then you become exhausted, collapse into bed without showering, and then wake up realizing you have to do it all over again! Don't get me wrong, I love my job. I love working with people and making them smile, I just wish it didn't require me to stand the whole freaking time!

But I can't exactly change rules that were enforced long before I was even born, so I continue to stand and wait for my body to crumple into a heaping, pathetic pile of pain and defeat.

Don't worry, it's really not all that bad. But it is disappointing to know that your whole summer is being spent in a grocery store. Not my idea of an ideal graduating senior summer. 

But I really can't complain since 1) I went to Disneyland, 2) I'm going to Hank Green and the Driftless Pony Club concert and 3) I'm going to the Goo Goo Dolls concert.

And then there is Netflix.

I have watched far too many episodes of Winx Club, Sherlock, Robin Hood, and Supernatural lately. I sometimes wish I could pause time so I can hurry and watch a season and then come back to real time without having wasted a single minute. I can't believe how quickly time disappears when you just sit and binge watch, and then you realize you just spent 12 hours in front of the TV.

So I guess my summer hasn't been so bad. I was able to meet with Jason and we had the most amazing discussion about the Plan of Salvation. I am so impressed with Jason. During our conversation he smiled wide and said, "My dad is where he is meant to be and I just know he is doing whatever work needs to be done." It's faith like that makes the difference. Jason could easily be upset at God for taking his father, but his faith and his love made it possible for him to see that his father and his family are actually being blessed. I was so proud to see Jason talk about his mission. It's amazing to see these missionaries turn into real men first hand. I can remember when Jason was just Jason, but now he is so much more and he is going to do amazing things now that he is back on his mission.

So I guess the main point of this blog post is that you should never put off writing. I could write so much more fabulous nonsense, but I may bore you to tears. So let me wish you all a wonderful life and remember that each of you are precious children of God and He loves you!
