la la blah la la

There are a few things in life that have me a little ... hmm ... well "off" to say the least.

First of all, I'm really frustrated when people don't answer their phones. See, I get a phone call, but I can't take it at that moment. Ten minutes later I go to return the call and check my voicemail first. The person has left a 5 minute long, depressing, soft spoken message that I can't even understand but that is expressing that something is wrong and they might like my help.

I'm all for helping when I can or at least being a listening ear. I return the call. Said person does not answer their phone. By the time they finished leaving the long, depressing message, it can't be more than five minutes. I call again. They still don't answer. Instead of letting me help resolve whatever is wrong on both sides, this person has instead just passed their worries on to me. I can't do anything about it because they won't answer their phone and I am instead left to deal with their problems on my own. What exactly is wrong? I don't know. But for some reason I have to be informed that there is some kind of problem that I now feel some sort of responsibility to address. But wait...I  can't even begin to address it.

I'm probably making this too big of a deal but it's seriously really draining!

If you leave someone a message like that, you should be prepared to receive a return phone call as soon as possible. Ulg, it's just rude.

I feel like I'm being a big downer.  Luckily I have great friends who are always encouraging me to be positive, and I have the words of modern day apostles and prophets to listen to help me have faith and strength to keep going through life. (Yes, that's what I'm doing right now. I love Elder Holland and President Uchtdorf.)

Those are some of the best things that help me when I feel like my inadequacies are pulling me down and keeping me from doing the things I so desperately want to do and accomplish on a daily basis.

Blah, sorry this is a laaame post. On a better note, I successfully made a parmesan chicken recipe that my sister shared. It was amazing. And I have leftovers for lunch tomorrow. Yea!
