Tennis, tennis or is that another form of badminton?
This landlord is driving me crazy. When I went to look for the place, I was told it was available for August 1st. Did not get the decision until August 2nd and she said it would be available by Friday at the latest, but possibly Thursday. So, yesterday at work the landlord calls my office (!). She had my cell number and my home number, but she took the number off of my letter employment, calls my boss, and leaves a message for me. Very frustrating-am in a minion-type job. Could have gotten in serious trouble. Anyway, called her back to find that she decided to replace the floors before I move in. Told me I could get the keys at noon and move in after (Friday). I had not booked the movers yet (thank goodness) and looked (but did not book) last night for movers to book for this afternoon. No word from her at 10, 12, 2. . .so finally I headed over and she said they were still doing the floors but would be done by 4. Make that 4:30. Okay, well that rules out moving in tonight, but at least I could go tonight and bring a few things so they do not get lost in the shuffle (like toilet paper, et cetera). Wait, there is no kitchen floor. Okay tomorrow by 7 it should be done. 9 at the latest. Just so frustrating have no idea when it will actually be done. She asked me when I was having the movers come and I said that I hoped to, but it might be hard to book them on such short notice. Then she had the nerve to say, "Yeah, probably a good idea to book ahead in the future". If I had booked ahead, I would have booked for Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, or Friday. :-p Oh well. I -am- her first rental. Just glad I had not booked anyone but am worried about how expensive last minute Saturday movers are going to be.
Food wise, yesterday I got a fries & 2 burgers special on my lunch. I ate one of the burgers and about a third of the fries and just did not want it anymore. The burger was good, but just thought it would be foolish to eat any more and was not hungry anyway. Is weird eating at a food court alone. Just keep wondering if people pass and shake their heads that a fat girl is eating fast food or such. Have not been keeping much down lately, but have definitely been going over on points. Sunday is when I am starting back up again. Exercise has been lacking, as well. Have not been walking to work because I wake up too late and have not been walking home because I have been in such a hurry and have not been walking on my break to get coffee because coffee is making me sick sick sick lately. Eesh, I have just been a devouring lump all week! lol
Last night I was trying to get every last thing packed. Did not, but managed to get everything consolidated to one room to make it easier. At some point, I realized I had just been standing in the same spot for probably 5 minutes just staring into space lol. Figured it was bedtime. My eye felt funny, so I washed up and searched for an eyelash, but could not see anything in it. Flushed it with water and changed to my nightgown. By the time I had brushed my teeth, though, I could see that my eyeball had expanded! It was no longer nice and round, but all lumpy on the side. Flushed it with more water, but the expansion was growing and soon, the white part was sort of folded over the brown section of my eye! Was freaked out. Did not want to touch it because I was afraid I would pop it heh. So, I changed back and decided to go to the clinic. Was scared to death to walk there at what was 3:30 AM and detest that clinic (always takes 2-3 hours), but I did anyway. There were only two other people waiting, so I figured at least it would not take too long. After a lot of head bobbing 15-second naps, the nurse called my name at 5:30! Have no clue why it took so long, but the people who were waiting before me were still waiting. I really thought I had just got dust or dirt in my eye with the packing, but the doctor did some tests (lots of shining lights and some orange dye ewww) and ruled it as pink eye! Looks okay today from a distance, but feels terrible. She said it will take 2-3 days to go away. Also very spreadable so I hope I do not spread it to my other eye eeee.
Where are all the sistas? Yesterday's thread was only a page long? Are they hiding in their kitchens? Do we need to start a hunt?
