  • my weekend

    *Yesterday I was woken up at 9am (after getting VERY little sleep) because Mom moved in with one of my sisters and was finishing up packing.

    *Mi familia showed up just after noon and got Mom moved out. I think there were at least 7 people involved in this, not counting Mom. Yeah.

    *They got done just around 1 in the afternoon...which is when I was supposed to wake up for work...and Mom knew this. Why on earth she didn't have everyone show up at 1, I still don't know.

    (When I have to work til midnight, I try to sleep later so I'm not falling asleep at work. That theory usually works for me.)

    On to today.

    *Got very little sleep. This is a recurring issue in my life, let me tell you.

    *Accidentally knocked over a jar of grease onto the stove. Don't ask.

    *Broke one of my vacuums. The good one. This is another recurring feat.

    *Locked myself out of my apartment...while barefoot and without my cell phone. Over 3 hours before Becks was supposed to start work.

    I tried knocking on all my neighbor's doors to use their phones...and no one answered.

    This is where being barefoot is important. I was debating whether to run over to work (literally in my front parking lot) to beg to use the phone to call Becks...and being a grocery store, this is NOT a good idea.

    Luckily a coworker (sort of, she works in deli and I'm a cashier ) happened to be on break, and let me use her phone. She thought it was hilarious, because I called Becks (who lives 5 minutes away), my Mom (who now lives 30 minutes away, at best), and my brother (who has the only master key, and whose number I only remembered because an hour before I had been at work updating my contact info with him as the first call) and leaving increasingly desperate messages to them.

    Becks showed up and I managed to get back in, and had to call Mom and my bro to let them know that I got back in.

    *Broke a light bulb, in the bathroom, next to my cat's feeding area. My cat was less then thrilled to be picked up and tossed in my room, so I can sweep and attempt to vac so she doesn't cut herself.

    *Then my Mom called about my niece. Said niece has a doctor's appointment in Milwaukee tomorrow. She asked Mom for directions yesterday. Asked Mom *today* if Mom would drive her down there. Mom said her car is in need of repair, and cannot make a trip of any kind. Niece asked if Becks or I could take her. Nope, both working. Can Becks' fiance? We left it up to him. He said he'd do it.

    Why is this a problem? Niece knew about this appointment for a MONTH and waited until the last minute to try to get a ride. Her mother is FURIOUS because she told Niece at the time the appointment was made to ask Mom if she'd drive her down there.



    I'm pretty sure this is all. I sure hope so. I'm surprised I didn't burn the place down making supper.





    I'm bringing disdain back...with a vengeance.

    Oh, and your tool box called...you got out again.

    ...And if Lizziebeff had called me from work, I would NOT have answered the phone.

        Thanks, Amina516. I needed that.

        Granted, my day was nowhere near Lupo's, but it was hectic.




        Update on the niece--I have been told that she has another ride for her appointment. I don't know whether to or .

          Apparently, it's been one of those weeks.

          Personally, I tend to go the opposite to those around me, but one of the nicest sweetest coworkers I work with tells me last week she was actually steaming and staying angry! Now, while it might not surprise many, she's not one to do that at all...

          just put it down to life making sure you enjoy yourself

            For the record, Bella and I *both* have a record of breaking vacuum cleaners and lightbulbs.

            My personal best was the time I was trying to replace a lightbulb and it broke. Inside the thing I was taking it out of.

            Yeah.

            I try to avoid changing lightbulbs now.

              Ok, so... how did you vac up the glass if you broke the vac???

              Meditate! It will help with sleep (and lack thereof)

                I broke the "big" vac...turns out I haven't cleaned out the brushes lately, and there was some hair build up. I used my "little" vac which is good for extremely small jobs.


                Forgot to add for Saturday: I accidentally broke the crank handle for the window in the small bedroom. But I didn't feel *too* bad about it because something told me that that happens quite often, and I was right. My bro told me that they had to replace 2 of them when the neighbor across the hall moved in.

                  Sucks to be you...

                  Well - it would.... if you didn't break it!

                    It's not broken anymore, but it doesn't work quite as well as it used to.


                    Now, I'm off to break Becks' vac!

                      I can break my own vacuum without help, you know.

                              I can't believe that I forgot to mention that I broke the dining room table on Wednesday.
