1. I was 20 mins away from the center when the low fuel light came on in the ASP car. Silly me, of course I had forgotten to fill up at the gas station before I left even after one of my staffers very kindly said "Don't forget to fill up at the gas station!" While I was driving back, although a bit worried about being stuck on the side of the highway with cell service, I was comforted by the realization that along my entire drive I was, at all times, no more than a 15 minute walk from someone I knew well and who could help me.
2. I spent some time doing construction, sort of, today. Just putting in a really stubborn air conditioner for a family, but it was nice to spend time with them. There were a few other sweet moments at this house today, but they're hard to explain and a little emotional. Needless to say, it's going to be hard to leave them in August.
3. So much country/top 40 music
4. Tonight it is raining. So now I am worried that the stubborn air conditioner is somehow letting water into the house. Probably won't sleep a lot tonight. Actually, that should be a totally separate reason.
5. Probably won't sleep a lot tonight
6. We made a fire with the new Mullens summer staff (who are staying here temporarily) and cooked Hobo Packs (chicken/steak, potatoes, carrots, spices in aluminum foil packs) and then made s'mores before it started raining.
7. It is possible that we are going to build a new home for one of our families whose home burned down in December. I'm working on a grant to a church who might fund a majority of it right now (yes, on top of all the med school essays) but it's so exciting to potentially be a part of something this wonderful.
8. I don't really have the time to be writing this blog post
9. I have my personal email, ASP staff email, my med school applications, iTunes (Selena Gomez is playing....sigh), google search engine where I have typed the letter 'H' before forgetting what I was going to look for, this blog, and a blank word document open on my laptop (This is sort of an explanation for #s 5 & 8)
10. The number of phone calls that I have to make/return by the end of the day tomorrow is longer than this list
11. At some point in our day we were driving and couldn't remember a small trivia fact so we all pulled out our phones to look it up....womp womp. No service, durr.
12. Tomorrow morning I'm going to have to make the standard "Staffer's Choice": work, sleep, or shower.
13. I called a friend earlier tonight to make a plan for this weekend and interrupted her ASP staff meeting
14. Our hardware store gave us homemade peanut butter fudge
