Stuff

- Ok I know I said I'd be calling a doctor today re: my skin. Except I've seen VAST improvement over last night. Things are dry but not as red, and definitely not as sore. There's a two pronged attack going on here, one to combat the cause, one to combat the sore and dry. I still think I need to call, but I seriously doubt if I can get in this week, so let's give the home remedy the rest of the week, then I'll call first thing next week if things aren't totally gone.

- Is it creepy that the only reason some people are getting holiday cards is that I HAD to open the last box for one or two people whom I couldn't NOT send a card to? I overestimated the number of "adult" cards I needed and almost seriously UNDERestimated the number of "silly" cards I'd needed. I'd picked up the last box as a "just in case." And I'd set aside two names that I'm not thrilled with, that might not have gotten some except for the luck of the draw. I feel horrible, but practical. I have one more set as of this morning, but it's not an issue.

- Need to shower. Today is busy, and my body is barely wanting to get moving. I ate a metric buttload of pizza last night, and find I'm still craving it. I need to find my way into a Target tonight, but I have to wait on a few things, like payments clearing my bank and the like. I might stop for pizza, I'd been crazing it and shouldn't have it, but I still want some, better than yesterday's. What I should do is get a salad from downstairs from my first client, but that's no fun. *grins*

I declare that today is quiet. I have cleaning to do later on tonight, which I will happily put aside for Lou if he's home in time and calls. I do need to struggle into TarGay, but I need to get work done first. I doubt I'm getting to the first client til 10:30, but that's OK. And I have Podfee, which I actually need to make this morning (Yesterday I managed not to. Which sucked. No wonder I was all confused!) And that reminds me I have to log in and email a person in that office to mail the mail I forgot about!

More later, I'm sure. I think I'm picking up lunch and stopping to eat. Let's hope I manage to get myself to sleep earlier tonight. I am tired already.

ARGH!

Seriously, I need life to stop being populated by IDIOTS!

Let me start with being superiorly late for Client #1

Client #2 has a "problem" with the accounting program. Seems that when they do entry it comes up with some of the previous entry, and what's wrong!?! I said Yeah, it's done that way on purpose. "But WHY, only THIS computer does it and I'm confused!" *sighs* seems that something that makes my life easier, by recalling the last transaction and letting me not have to think too much about where things get coded, is too much for them to bear. So now I have to remember to turn that on and shut it off, for MY ease of use. It's not like I SHOULD be sharing this computer but whatever. My issue is with the ladies making a HUGE deal out of it.

Then to the Dealer, to tell them about my Check Engine light and to get coolant. Seems they were closed yesterday due to a water main break, and they simply were "swamped." They wouldn't even do the diagnostic. So I scheduled an appointment for two weeks, trying to fit it into my already sucky schedule.

THEN to the post office, where I was behind the slowest stupidest drivers getting there, and had to deal with all the confused nonsense with people shipping things. I got my stamps ( a whole roll of snowman ones that are cute and non-secular! I just didn't have the cash to buy the breast cancer ones like I wanted to) At least I managed to get out of there without killing anyone. I did leave my trash behind, which bothers me.

Finally home, and my sister and her kids are here. Seems that while she was visiting my grandmother this afternoon she took a serious turn. The fam gathered and she went around 2. My mother and uncle were on their way. Noone bothered to call me. Seriously, not upset about it. More upset that this will SERIOUSLY eff up my day on Monday, as I was supposed to go into work early, and probably shouldn't now (although I'm seriously thinking I don't need to go, I hate funerals, stupid Church crap.) but I do have to go to work. And the wake is Sunday night, which SUCKS, because I hate them too and I hate having to be there for the whole thing.

I mean sheesh, I'm NOT included in any family things, I'm certainly not called on anything, WHY the hell should I bother? All I know is the in-fighting is about to begin, and has somewhat, over paying for the funeral and how certain family members are "broke." Plus who gets what and whatnot, and the whole "Now Christmas ia RUINED! *sob*" Since it's more for the kids, it's not necessarily. Yes my cousins are upset and might feel that way but it's not this huge Dra-Mah.

*sighs* If anyone is interested in the wake, I'll post details here, but honestly, I'm barely going to be there, mentally, and it would just be a chance to see my crazy family in action.

And the kicker here, the smallish one, is that I agreed to let my nephew stay here, he won't do his homework, and I ordered him a cheese pizza (I finally got the Hawaiian I wanted but I don't share) and he's eaten about 2 bites and "I'm full." Fortunately I have designs on eating leftovers tomorrow and feeding teh Unit, but I would have taken him to his house where THEY also are ordering pizza. Jeebus!

Oi. I'm waiting til tomorrow to drop this bomb on my client. For now I need to run out to Target. Teh Unit is here and he is no longer my responsibility.
