| I was down, you taught me to stand |
Since it was five years ago, I'd forgotten how obnoxious and difficult the moving process can be. Well, I got to re-learn it all last weekend... and it's still going on.
Our mail is just finally starting to emerge from USPS limbo. My first piece of mail at the new place: the Comcast bill. Of course! We got service switched over here last Saturday, and they didn't waste a minute printing our bill and mailing it over. I got it yesterday, opened it, and almost passed out when I saw $350 glaring up at me. Say what?
$140 of it was moving/new installation charges, or whatever they call it, which is a total crock because they didn't do it correctly or all-at-once as they were supposed to. My dad called, gave them a "talking to," and got the bill back into it's normal $200-ish range. Still not an ideal amount, but one I can deal with.
I intended to get up super early this morning so I could run errands before it got hot, but actually fell back asleep until seven. By the time I made it over to Target, it was already full of - for some reason - millions of apparently unattended, poorly behaved children. I got a pink-and-clear plastic storage bin for all my girly beauty stuff, and a pink-and-brown storage thing to hang over the door. I'm really liking the way my room is coming together; pictures to come someday... |

| Half dead from comparing myself to everyone else around me |
Let's start this off by pretending that it hasn't really been more than two weeks since my last post. Cool? Cool.
I feel as if I've got everything to write about, and nothing to write about, all at once. That's the way it's been lately: I've got so much to do that I'm totally overwhelmed and unable to do hardly any of it. Even taking things chronologically is too much, so I'll just divide it into two categories: Fun and Not Fun.
Fun:
- JH and I went to a wine-tasting that was pretty awesome. I tried white wine for the first time, and really liked it (a Sauvignon Blanc).
- This is only fun because I'm almost done, but I'm, well, almost done painting my new bedroom. Pictures to come.
- I allowed myself to go to Bath and Body Works for the first time in straight months, and actually didn't spend much, and bought a bunch of cute stuff.
- I went to meet DM and MB for coffee yesterday, and it turned into coffee (or in my case, two venti iced chais... it was kind of scary, really), lunch (hot waiter and delicious pizza), and then hours of hanging out at each of their places. It was pretty great.
Not Fun:
- I had a toothache and promptly went to the dentist. One x-ray and an extremely brief exam later (I've known commercial breaks to last longer), he told me I need a crown. And because I have no insurance, said crown will cost $1,200. Sigh. I'm not as stressed about it as I (probably) should be - I mean, I can't just cry and make it go away, and I'm certainly not going to not get my tooth fixed. I'm kind of attached to it, or it to me - and I'd like to keep it that way, thanks.
Hey, if Fun things outnumber Not Fun things in my life by at least four-to-one, I'm probably doing okay, right? |
