Lets get productive...

I really miss the days when I could sleep until, well pretty much until whenever I wanted. And not just until whenever I wanted, but as long as I possibly could. This morning definitely told me I am getting older and more comfortable with my crazy schedule.

I had some family come in from out of town late last night. I sat up and talked with my uncle until a little after 12 and didn't get to sleep until about 12:45ish. It was such a perfect night/morning to sleep. It was raining, the wind was blowing, and it was cold. But no, Thomas is wide awake by 8:00am. My first thought when I woke up, rolled over and saw the clock was, "Ah man! I'm going to be super late for work!" After jumping out of bed and throwing some dirty work clothes on, I realized that my uncle, aunt and cousin were talking downstairs and then realized that it was in fact Saturday. Bummer, sort of?

But I'm actually excited. E&M is closed on Saturday's for the rest of winter, so having a day off is very nice. But I'm really excited because my goal for today is to be PRODUCTIVE. I hate sitting around and doing nothing. I feel so useless when I don't have a schedule, plan, or purpose. So, first on my list is changing the oil in the old Mitsubishi. Amazing, I've had the car for close to 5 years now and I have never changed the oil in it myself. So being broke and feeling lazy has given me the motivation to change it myself this morning. I have to mention my excitement about my wicked awesome deal on 5 quarts of oil and an oil filter from Advance yesterday though. Except I realized I can't find my oil filter wrench or drip pan, so back in to town I go.

After Emily's got some clean oil in her, I'm off to church to set up and prepare for tomorrow morning. Come out and worship with In August tomorrow morning at Mt. Olive Brethren Church, 11am-12pm!

It's J-mo's birthday today (HAPPY BIRTHDAY PAL!!) so we're all gathering for some food, fellowship, and celebration tonight. Which reminds me, I need to get him a card. Put it on the list!

Alrighty, well I think that's about the extent to my productive day. Now looking back at it, I'm really not doing a whole lot, but that's ok. I'll just keep telling myself I am.

With all my love,
---Thomas
