One More Week!

Only one more week until I start my new position at work! Then I will be flying to Toronto, Canada for training for 4 days! I have never been out of the country or to the east coast-- so I will be doing both at once! Yay!

I am nervous about my last week-- and excited about my new job! It feels like it's been forever since I got the offer for the job. It's been a kind of hectic couple weeks-- researching and booking my flight, looking into taxi fares, trying to see how many 3oz. containers I can shove in a single quart-sized baggie only to realize I will probably have to check my luggage... Training the new person at work, the bank I work in getting robbed (email me for details if you want), trying to figure out how much parking at LAX should cost... Yeah, it's been a hectic couple of weeks!

But it's finally coming to a close. One chapter wrapping up and a new one beginning. I hope I get to meet a lot of cool people in all my travels. I know I will become very well acquainted with airlines and overpriced water... Hey, they're half as big as my water bottles at home and cost three times as much! Isn't there some sort of law against price gouging? And people complain about the currency exchange companies-- go get the water people! Sorry, a little pet peave of mine... :)

Aside from work life is also going well. My voice, which has been suffering from sinus issues (drainage into my throat hurting my vocal cords), seems to be getting much better. I went to the doctor about a month ago and got a prescription that's supposed to help my sinuses (which will in turn help my voice), and now my voice is at maybe 90% for flexibility and range, though still only at about 60%-75% for endurance depending on the day. There are days when talking for 5 minutes makes me feel as hoarse as yelling for an hour.

It's been a little frustrating, because I love to sing, and as a musician and songwriter, it's something I do a lot. So I'm glad it's getting better. But I just don't know how not to sing. If there is music, I will sing. I was at church this morning and my voice hurt a little, and I was trying not to sing. How can you not sing during worship?? If you happen to think of it, please pray for me in this area. :) Thanks!

Well all, it's time to iron my clothes for my last week of work! Yay! :) Ciao, D
