Laundry Post

Gah, I'm at the laundromat again, typing this up in Word since I can't access the Interweb from here (no available wireless networks.) Apparently this is now my favorite place to be, since I'm here all the freaking time. Thankfully tomorrow I get to leave work at noon, since I have my consultation with the surgeon at 1:15 in the afternoon. Hopefully I'll be able to get the surgery for Friday, but I doubt it.

How hard is it to find cute laundry baskets? I've searched all over and all I can find are the regular boring type, so that's what I had to buy. Plain, boring white laundry baskets. Since I'm always washing clothes the least I could do is find some way to make it somewhat pleasurable. But noooooooo, it has to be boring!

This weekend we really didn't do anything too exciting. Went to a car show, had Dairy Queen and Subway. Woohoo, hold me back. I did go to Target, and shoe shopping with my Mom, but I only purchased one pair of shoes, for $4! Have I mentioned how much I love Target?

By the way, Mr. Yuk means no!

Crap, my keyboard is filthy. Perhaps I should clean it or something.

Woo, the washers are almost finished!! Dammit, my feet are asleep.

Why is it the pop machines are 60 cents? Why not 50 or 75 cents? This is a laundromat, where quarters rule the world. So I never remember to bring dimes, and am therefore shit out of luck if I'm thirsty (like now.)

This evening, we emptied the pig (our piggy bank) at a Coinstar thing. We'd fed the pig over $26 in change! I figured there would be maybe $15 because I'd raided it a couple weeks ago for quarters (laundry, of course.) Apparently we spend way too much money, or have too much change. I'm not sure which it is quite yet.

OK, the washers are finished. Must do the transfer. Funtimes, I tell you, funtimes.

Gah, I wish I had a maid.

This post is all over the place, yes? See what happens when I post "live laundry casts?"

More for my memory's sake than anything else, here's where we went today:

Get Go for gas (only $2.05 with my gas discount)
K-Mart (Had a key made, and purchased various necessities)
Dairy Queen
Advance Auto (Morgan bought fog lights for Money Pit)
Wal-Mart (More keys and necessities)
Subway (Morgan's a pig; two foot longs and he ate them both)

Exciting, yes?

Yikes, the air conditioning just kicked on and I'm now freezing.

Bah, the dryers are stopping, so thus ends a very rambling post.

That is all.

I Heart Hospitals

It's a good thing I'm used to hospitals, since round two is set to commence mid-June. That's right folks, I'm having my gallbladder removed, and a liver biopsy while they're ganking my gallbladder. Hopefully the biopsy comes back normal, because if it doesn't I'll probably have to take time off work, which isn't something I want to do. I'll have to schedule the gallbladder surgery so as to not interfere with any major car events. This summer isn't going to suck like last summer (and I wasn't even pregnant last year until late, late summer.) We have money, normal work schedules and I should be back to normal pretty soon. Let the summer funness commence!

I'm tired, so I think I'll take a nap. Then I'm running to my Mom's house briefly, since I haven't been over there in 2 weeks, and Sunday is Mother's Day. She works Sunday, though, so I'll go over tonight.

We're going to Columbus tomorrow to see Viktor. Woo, I can hardly wait!! Of course there will be plenty of photos, and I'll post a couple MoBlog shots as long as T-Mobile cooperates.

I've lost 22 pounds since having Viktor, and 5 pounds since my last Dr. Jag visit. Woo for weight loss!

Fuck, it's cold in here. I better get to sleep before Morgan gets home, or I won't get any naptime.

That is all.

Where's My Discount

I can't wait until I get my employee discount. I've found two things to get for Viktor; he'll be so cute! Here's the onesie and there's a bib too. Additionally, I found two shirts for myself as well. The short sleeve is cute, but the long sleeve is peenk and brown! Not just peeeeeenk, but brown too! I don't know how much my discount would be on these items, though. The discount varies according to what I buy, and I don't qualify for the discount until June 8th (3 more weeks.) Next week I'll have Shannon look up the discounted prices for me, and if it's not a huge discount, I'll buy them next weekend instead of waiting.

Banks can suck my ass. Enough said.

I left work today at 1:30PM in order to make my liver doctor appointment at 2:15. I arrived, right on time, and was told my appointment is tomorrow at 2:15; the receptionist told me the wrong day when I scheduled the appointment. So I had to call my supervisor, and leave him a voicemail asking if I should reschedule the appointment, or go ahead and keep the appointment. He hasn't called back, so I guess I'll have to hunt him down tomorrow morning and find out. The receptionist did write a note for me, stating they screwed up and told me the wrong time for the appointment. That's all well and good, but I still feel like an ass asking to leave early again.

I should find something to make for dinner. Morgan had to fend for himself last night since I went to bed at 6:30PM. Yeah, I slept from then to 1AM, got up until 2AM, then went back to bed until 7AM. I rule.

I so can't wait until training is over and I switch to afternoons.

That is all.

I Don't Like This

I'm having the same symptoms as the first time I worked at Summit. I'm tired all the time, even though I'm going to bed early. I feel sick most of the day. I'm all spaced out. There's no way I'm pregnant again; how could it happen? Even though I had my tubes tied, I'm going to take a pregnancy test this weekend (not waiting around for 3 months like the last time.) If I don't have a period by June 6th, I will proceed to freak out. That'll be 2 months since Viktor was born, and since I'm not breastfeeding or anything, I should have a period by then. I can't believe I'm even having to worry about this; isn't that why I had my tubes cut/tied? (Which, by the way, still fucking hurts.)

I'm taking a nap.

That is all.

Back To Work

Well, my first day back is completed. It was weird being back to work after almost a year off, but it was even more weird to see everything exactly the same as when I left Summit. I have the same cube, and am surrounded by the same people. It'll take a while to get used to working 5 days a week, but I could think of much worse places to be.

Morgan wound up not getting his wisdom tooth extracted today. I guess his tooth is infected, and his face is swelled up, so the dentist wrote a prescription and rescheduled him for the 15th. Poor Morgie.

Why did I wake up at 5:30 this morning? This was after going to sleep around 2 this morning. Then I couldn't get back to sleep, which really pissed me off. Gah, I'm going to sleep now, and I'm hoping no one calls and wakes me up.

I'm going to see if I can use "Pooper" as my phone name at work. I seriously doubt they'll let me, so my back up name is "Morgan." Yes, I'm a dork, and "Camaro" is all ready taken.

That is all.

Boogers Rule

Still.Freaking.Sick. Someone, please shoot me. My throat doesn't hurt anymore, thank goodness, but I'm still stuffed up, coughing and boogery. Hopefully I'll feel better tomorrow, since I start work at 8:30AM. Woo, I'm excited.

Speaking of work, I dug all of my work clothes out of the closet. I have plenty of pants, but I'm not sure how many will fit. My waist is smaller than before I got pregnant, but my stomach is still swelled up. Plus, the more I walk around the more my tummy swells up. Additionally, I've noticed some leaking after I walk around a lot. It's actually bleeding now, and not out of the incision. It's bleeding below the incision, which makes no sense to me, but that's how it is. I want to go to the hospital to have it checked, but I'm afraid they'll want to admit me for whatever reason, and I can't miss work. I guess if it starts bleeding uncontrollably, or hurts so badly that I can't function, I'll go to the hospital. Otherwise, I'll tough it out.

We went shoe shopping yesterday because Morgan needed new work shoes. Yes, Morgan went shoe shopping. He finally decided on these for $105 on sale, with tax. He says they fit well and don't hurt his feetsies. Of course, I can't go shoe shopping without buying something. I scored these for $10, with tax. Usually flip flops hurt my toes, but the cloth divider thing is awesome. They're really comfy, too.

We went to a car show today, right around the corner from our apartment. That was a nice change of pace, since we usually drive an hour to car shows. People actually wanted to look at Money Pit which I found very scary. TruckBird was there for about an hour, because Thumper and Decko were there and requested his presence. My car rules. Blackie made a brief visit as well, so all three FBodys made public appearances today.

Gah, it's all ready 9:30PM and I still have to do so much shit before going to bed by midnight. Yes, I have a bedtime again.

Almost forgot...There's a cute chipmunk apparently living in the front bumper of my Firebird. Of course, I took photos. Photo 1, photo 2 and photo 3. The shots are progressively closer of our cute chipmunk. Thankfully as soon as he hears someone come out the front door, he runs out of my car, so I don't have to worry about starting my car and hurting him. Just to be on the safe side, I knock my front bumper before I get in the car. We're going to buy some food and set it outside for him, and some food for the bunny living in the backyard as well.

That is all.

I Forgot

I almost forgot to update about my oozing incision. I went to the Immediate Care on Saturday, to be told the oozing was the breakdown of a clot, and was totally normal. It still hasn't healed, though, so I think I'll have it checked Tuesday after my gastroentorologist appointment.

Morgan and I had a busy weekend. After I went to the Immediate Care, Morgan and I went to the Canfield Swap Meet. Man was that entertaining. Four hours, and 2 sunburns later, we came home. Sunday we went to Valley View's Quaker Steak and Lube for an FBody meeting. Present (L-R) were me & Morgan, Jeff, Erin, Matt, and a guy I didn't get to meet. Nick was also there, but not in an FBody, so there's not photo for his name, LOL. It was a nice line of FBodys, and we were there in time for the car show too! After we left Quaker, we went to Morgan's Dad's and grandma's houses (Cleveland,) then to Subway (Parma) for dinner. This weekend we're going to see Viktor in Columbus as long as his pediatrician says it's OK. Since I went to the doctor Tuesday for Strep (temp of 102, woo) and an upper respiratory infection, I want to make sure it's OK for me to be around him. I definitely don't want him getting sick, so if it's not OK this weekend, we'll see him next weekend. If we don't go to Columbus on Saturday, we're not doing anything this weekend. That'll be a nice switch from the running around I've done this week.

Dentist appointment tomorrow. That'll be fun. It's my first dentist visit in at least 10 years; I rule. I better not have a cavity or I'll be pretty pissed. I've made it 26 years without a cavity, I'd like to make it at least 26 more.

I need a haircut.

Bauhaus and Nine Inch Nails in less than 2 months. Woo!

That is all.

Yay Me!

I got my old job back. Yep, that's right, I'm going back to work at Summit Racing. I start Monday, and have to go through the training again. That's OK, at least I'll definitely know what I'm doing when I'm finished. The training class is myself and 4 guys, one of whom worked at Summit a couple years ago. I had my drug test today, which was negative of course, so I'm all set to begin Monday morning at 8:30. My hours during training are 8:30-5. After training (in August) I'll probably work Sunday-Thursday from 1:30PM-10PM. Woooooo!

Morgan's whining because I'm on the computer, so rather than put up with his bitching, I'm getting offline.

That is all.
