beansideIt's Thursday or as we like to call it, Friday Eve. It's been a weird week thank to the snow. Work has been almost quiet, and we've had the ups and downs of the week. Yesterday was definitely more of an up. With a little luck, we'll end the week strong.
I got up and texted a dude that my BIL's sister had used. He texted me back by 8am and got the info about the job. He quoted more than the first dude who ghosted, which I didn't care even a little bit about. He said he'd be over around 12pm, so I let my boss know I might need to step away for a few minutes right before lunch.
Then, I went to work. At 9:30, I got ahold of the pharmacy, which was indeed open. Whoohoo! They said they'd get my meds together and deliver them to me! Double Whoohoo!
At around 11:30, I got a text that the dude who shoveled our snow was going to be there at 12:45. Cool. During my lunch, that's awesome, I can go out and meet him and observe a bit. Then, at about 12:15, he texted saying that he had a flat tire. Ooookay. Starting to worry about being ghosted again, but he says he'll be there as soon as the flat is fixed.
At 12:55, he says he's on his way and will be here in 10 minutes. To my utter shock, in 10 minutes, Emmanuel pulls up in his truck and gets to work. It took him 1 hour to dig both cars completely out. Then, we moved them down to the far end of the parking lot so that the maintenance could plow the spots clear.
While Emmanuel was working hard, my prescriptions showed up. Trpple Whoohoo!
I finished up work, and headed out to pick up my sister from work, as she had to Uber in with her car stuck. Fortunately, since schools were out, the traffic wasn't horrible. After that, a trip to the dispensary, and then home to rest after what was an eventful day.
I ran out of my sleep pills, and tried Jess' "Relaxing Peppermints" made by Dixie. Let me tell you, those fuckers are so relaxing that I switched to them from the sleep tablets. They knock me out fast and hard. I approve of this. I did have to switch up the time that I take them. The sleep tablets took forever to kick in. But these are super fast. Last night, I was antsy. I took my pills, and we started an episode of Shmanners, and I was just out about 10 minutes in. That's better than the prior two nights where I fell asleep before we did a podcast.
I don't like the second book in the Empyrean Series as much, though it's still very readable. Mostly I dislike the addition of a bog-standard mean girl who's after the main character over stealing her man. (The man broke up with her before he started dating the main, so it's just her being jealous about losing so much power.) It's just not the most pleasant to read. I'm still reading it, it's just annoying. Hopefully the third book will be better.
98 days to Alaska! I need to start getting out some cash, so that I'm better able to tip. I figure it'll take a few visits to get everything I need. I need some $5, $10, $20s and some $50's.
the little bills are for the waiters and bartenders and housekeeping in the pre and post hotels, the $20s are for the cabin stewards and then the 50's are for the drivers. All totalled, I want about $1400 in cash to go with, mostly small bills.
I could just go into the bank, but I'd prefer not.
Today, we're going to have a nice day, which will be quiet and pleasant, right?
Time to put on pants! Everyone have an outstanding Thursday!
