Mom Keeps Asking Me the Same 2 Questions Over and Over

#1 What am I going to do when I am on the mission trip and I want to take a nap. I keep telling her that if I get that tired I will just tell them that I need to go lay down. It was made clear in the meeting that we will not be made to do anything that we are not comfortable doing, and to tell them if there are specific things that we do want to do. It was even brought up about the getting tired thing. I tend to take a nap every day, even if I get 8 hours of sleep. I'm sure it's the COPD that causes me to get tired doing even small tasks. It will be different there as I won't be staying up until 2 am on the computer and then sleeping until whenever. Who knows, once I get home maybe I can stop doing that and get to bed earlier then get an earlier start to my day instead. #2 What am I going to do on the mission trip since I can't be online. Well, first of all, I know well ahead of time that we won't have mobile service let alone wifi. I am well aware of the fact that I'm not going on the trip to worry about the pennies I earn, but instead to do God's work while there. Will I miss it? Probably so. I am sure I will do some real soul searching while on the trip about the things I do. She asks this question every time I am upset because other things are taking my time away from my earning here online. Of course I am trying to get in all I can before the trip, hoping to reach cash out at some of the sites so that I might just get paid by some of them while I am away. (I wish I would have made payout here to know that $5+ would have been coming in on the 15th, but no such luck there) I am really looking forward to the trip---getting away from stress at home, working for the betterment of others, etc. I just hope the house doesn't fall apart while I'm gone!

Maybe someone will step up and do some of the things you do while you are home. What does your mom do when she is upset? I would ask her. I think this will be a good digital vacation for you.

This sounds like exciting time for you. As long as you communicated your need for a nap before hand there shouldn't be a problem. I am sure they will find things for you to do on the mission trip.
