How good was Alias last night? So good, is the correct answer. My sister even watched it. It reminded me of one of my favorite episodes of the X-Files. Anyone who knows which episode I am thinking of scores major brownie points with me. What, no one knows? Oh, right, because you people aren't all dorked-out geeks like me.
I am trying desperately to round up boxes, with no luck. I have come to the conclusion that there is not enough time in the day for me to do everything I need to do at work and then try to do anything else. Just wait til they get me that new laptop....GOODBYE FREE TIME!
B called me bright and early this morning, I think he misses me more than he's letting on. I mean, it was 6am there. I miss him too though! I spent last night over at his mom's doing my laundry....the woman has the best dryer in the entire world. Never in my life have I used a dryer that dries things within 30 minutes on one cycle.
Nina and I went down to Crawfordville last night to check out some furniture in two models homes my company is selling. It is dirt cheap, and somewhat good quality. I am looking to buy a queen size four-poster bed with matress, box spring, and comforter set, plus the matching dresser and mirror. Cost for all of it? $175.00.
Yes, you read that correctly.
Here's where it gets screwy....I tell the appropriate people about this, they say they will make it happen. Then I hear the president of the company is just going to donate all of the furniture to charity, and give the nicer stuff to his daughter for her condo. I tell my boss this, she looks at me, says, ummmm, NO, I will go talk to him about that, and now I am waiting to see if this is actually going to happen. I realized the other day I have never had my own bed as an adult. It's always been a borrowed bed, a rented bed, etc. This bed doesn't have the greatest mattress, but I can always replace it. We shall see what happens.
Other being being exhausted, stressed about work/moving, and desperate for a long nap, things are pretty good here on the Redneck Riviera.
I did receive some bad news, actually right in the middle of posting this. My aunt has lupus, she has had it since she was a teenager, and it has greatly impacted her life in some not-so-good ways. She has three kids, my wonderful cousins, who my sister and I helped take care of from very early on due to my aunt's health issues. Her middle child, who we will call M for the sake of her privacy, is going to be 13 next month. She's smart, pretty, funny, talented...a great kid. She hasn't been feeling very well lately, and today my aunt called with confirmation that M has lupus. They are handling it pretty well since my aunt and the rest of my family kind of know what to expect, but I am upset, because I know what it does and what the implications are. It is a disease that doesn't get enough recognition, and there is just now starting to be public support and resources for those who suffer from it's many symptoms. To top it all off, they also found out M is in her 4th week of Mono! Poor kid! I just want her to feel better...I hate seeing such a vibrant person in so much pain from her joints hurting that it just makes her cry in agony. Say a little prayer for my cousin, and for my aunt.
