it must be wednesday. i never did get the hang of wednesday

gaaaaaaaah. i thought i had time to write some musings about last night and add some folks (hi folks), but, uh, i don't. i've got to get ready for work, feed the cat, and do various other things. suck. i'll do Stuff and Things (tm) tonight when i get home (which seems like forever away right now, but hey, that's what workin' in retail is alllll about).

The Day That Does Not End

Cheesus Chrust, I'm tired. It was one of those days. Someone called in (well, actually, someone just didn't show up) and, per usual, I got stuck cashiering, pretty much all day. I had strange customers, like the lady who refused to use any pen but her own to sign her credit card slip (ewwwwww germies) but who (alas) forgot her pen in the car and took twenty minutes to fetch this Immaculate Writing Instrument of Health (it should be an artifact in some game). I tried to get a pepsi from the machine in the breakroom and instead received an orange drink which, and I kid you not, had the words "wood resin" in the ingredient list. I was thinking to myself "and I borrowed money for this?" And I was dumb and worried about Todd and the car all damn day because I tried calling him around noon to see how it went and he wasn't there, and I developed this mildly insane fantasy that the car had disintegrated and they were having to rebuild it with cat hair and used chewing gum or something while Todd waited. In reality, however, the car thing took all of twenty minutes, it's now a happy serviced oil-changed all fixed up for the trip car, and Todd was just at the office. Durh. Yes, I'm a worrywort. Yes, I know it. Yes, I should cut it out.

I managed to get my schedule for tomorrow switched to 2:30-10, rather than 3:30-12, which is a good thing, as Todd wants to leave at... oh, it's almost painful to type... 4 in the morning on Friday. I don't think that's going to happen. Six, maybe. Four? Nuh-uh. And, of course, it's going to snow Friday. I big red heart long drives in the snow. Wait, that's a lie.

So tomorrow will be: go to gas station, get ice scraper for car and gas, drop Todd off at work, go get girl maintenance done, whine for at least twenty minutes regarding girl maintenance, go back home, clean car and apartment some, do laundry, pack, go get Todd, go to work and give Todd the car, Todd drives to Evan's and loads up the car with Evanific loot while I work, Todd picks me up, we go home, get some sleep and leave half an hour before going to bed, and pay millowner for permission to come to work. Um. yeah.

Ah. Evan has a blanket and a pillow. Guess we'll need to pack those.

In the meantime, I'm doing still more laundry tonight and hoping to hear back from my Aunt sometime tonight rather than tomorrow when I'm going to be even more rushed and stuff than I am today. I was going to go on up and jsut give her a call when we're in Pennsylvania and say "surprise!", but after careful consideration, I decided not to do this. For one, because my grandmother discovered this brilliant plan and has probably already told my Aunt that I'm coming, and for two, if she does happen to be busy this weekend she'd be pretty irate at me not giving her a little notice, since we haven't seen each other in ... er... years. Many years. And my aunt, uncle and cousin have never met Todd, which is a situation which ought to be rectified. So yeah. Waiting for her to call tonight.

~deeeeeep breath~

After this next load of laundry / bout of cleaning / playing with the cat so I don't feel so guilty about him being all by his lonesome for four days (although this time around we've got someone to come and feed him each day, once in the morning and once in the evening, just as he's used to, so this time he won't eat four days worth of food in one day and then starve the rest of the time we're gone), I'm going to make some hot chocolate, sit down, and just read LJ. I've got a lot of neat new journals to read, and plenty of neat not-so-new journals to catch up on, and that sounds a helluva lot niftier than stressing ad infinitum.

(no subject)

addendum: I've lived in NC for a little more than three years now, but I'm still a Florida girl. And I've never seen so much snow as I'm going to see this weekend (hrm... was that grammatically correct? Perhaps). On the upside, though, I get to wear a cool hat and matching scarf and new gloves. Go me. ;)

Also: was going to veg and read LJs, but Todd dangled the offer of roleplaying in front of me, and well, I'm a roleplaying whore. Aw yeah. So I'll read some, like, tomorrow.... in between various and nefarious things.
