It's a race! It's a race!!

Not really. There is no real race, but I feel like I'm in a race sometimes...nothing too specific, just life in general. Do you think that's because we live in such a face-paced economy? Everything we want or need is usually right at our fingertips. If we need to wait on something, life is turned upside-down!
Today MID-stir, my blender/beater (whatever you call it) broke. I immediately wanted to run out and buy another one...but without a car, it was difficult. Thankfully I have a neighbor who was willing to let me borrow hers for the duration of my Christmas cookie baking, but good glory, what would I have done without that? haha! I guess I would have had to use my arms!!
Cookie making wasn't really the issue that made me think of racing, it was just annoying, so I thought I'd share! :)
What made me think I was racing was when one of my friends announced that she passed court. A day early!
This is excellent news for her, but it made me think, "Hey wait! I haven't heard that my case was submitted to court yet!"...which doesn't make any sense. She got her referral about 2 months before I got mine, of course she would pass before me.
I feel the same way when people announce their pregnant with their 3rd child.
"I haven't even had my second,"..."I'm older than you", etc etc.
What a goofy reason to think something like that, isn't it?
I'll answer my own question - "totally."
When things do happen with referrals, court cases, or travel, it makes me happy that things are moving along, but I can't help but get a little bit 'jumpy' waiting for my turn!
I think this stuff with the possibility of delays from cases that came from Shashamene really has me crazy! I think I will feel so much better when I hear that our case has been submitted. This way I know there isn't a problem.
But until then...I'll probably be a tad batty.
