Well last night I, being the worry person I am, was freaked about this drive down to Texas. So i ended up staying awake until almost 3:00am packing, doing laundry, cleaning up a bit, snuggling my kids (aka dogs) and trying to make sure everything goes smoothly. So when my alarm roused me at 6:45am i was not a happy camper I am definitely one of those people who require 8 hours of sleep. I mean on the way to work this morning I was drowsy enough not to have road rage, which is a new experience for me, and I pondered over not being angry all the way to work. My only worry is I have 3-4 hours that I have to drive tonight and not much sleep. I guess worst case scenario I can start sending out wake up calls to have people talk to me while I drive. And on the bright side i should go to sleep on time tonight without any problems.
My leg wounds are slowly but surely healing and I think tomorrow will go OK I’m tempted to go by wal-mart and buy some band-aids and just try to go in concealer on my legs with panty hose tomorrow instead of the ace bandages. I am almost done with the steroids the ER gave me (thank god!) they are killing my body and making all of my joints ache and me just feel fairly grumpy.
I packed everything up last night and when Gary came home and we were talking I came to the realization that he has no luggage. It is such a hard thing for me to understand never taking a vacation, never needing luggage so not having any. I mean I didn’t think my family vacationed much we went once every two years and did something. I thought that was standard protocol for most families.
I found an awesome torrent yesterday (thank you demonoid!) that has almost all of Dean Koontz’s work in it. I just read Odd Thomas which I truly loved and was wanting to read the book that was previewed in the back, but unfortunately now isn’t the greatest time to be splurging on books and the like. This next month is going to be almost as tight as last month. Hopefully nothing else unexpected will come up as far as cost is concerned.
I still haven’t been able to finish up cleaning out the old apartment. I tried to lift a box last night and with the number the steroids are doing on my body there was no way in hell that was happening. I still need to clean the place top to bottom, pick up the last few boxes and my wedding dress, and clean all of the carpets. Then hopefully we will be able to get our deposit back in a timely fashion because that $350 could be very handy.
Also I have discovered while writing this how much I truly hate Mac ‘n’ Cheese without milk or butter in it. When it is just the noodles water and the powder cheese dust it is sticky and not nearly as satisfying. When I left the house this morning since I am not going back to the house until we come back from Texas I just grabbed a box to eat not thinking that I don’t have milk or butter. I should have grabbed 2 things of Ramen and just eaten ramen again.
Well I’m rambling and this post probably makes no sense since I am fairly tired. I will probably run by a Starschmucks on my way out and grab a triple vente extra caramel caramel machiato to help me stay awake. The two bottles of Vault in the car should also help.
