i'm ready... now what?

i have a key on my 'wad,' or keychain, that goes to my KnightRider matchbox car. you stick the key up the tailpipe of the car, literally, and there's a spring in there that becomes coiled... you squeeze the key, and the car shoots off in whichever direction you've got it pointed. my Kit was always faster than my brother's, by the way.
anyways, that's kinda how i feel right now.
no, i don't have anything up my butt.
rather, i feel like my spring is coiled, and i'm ready to go... but i am not the one controlling the key.
the kind of tension i am feeling right now is a really confusing one... i really wish i COULD squeeze my own key, and just get going. instead... here i am, in suspension, feeling restless, with all of this pent-up energy.

the next two weeks will give me a chance to direct that energy... driving up to baltimore for a good friend's wedding, coming back just in time for a banquet for my mom, leaving the same day to go to Asheville for a week for a spirituality conference, coming back just in time to go to another wedding and lead worship/play a show in High Point.
but right now, with all that stuff still in front of me, and with the frustrating state of some of my relationships, i'm entirely too restless and uncomfortable. i don't even feel like i can say what i want to say, much less do what i want to do... still feeling what i felt the other night.
