THIS IS NOT FIEVEL GOES TO BROOKLYN
i have been so FREAKIN BUSY!!! ive actually been wanting to update this thing because june 2008 will be remembered for me but between working, finding a second/part-time job, volunteering, starting a lil diy home-based business, preparing for steve to leave/my mom to come, i havent had a break.
the past two weeks have been like a new york minute. especially with my co-worker being on vacation (we are a team of 3 so the work load has been extra heavy for me and my boss the past week and a half) for example, yesterday i had to finish this huge project by myself, then on my lunch break i took the subway to to the upper west side for a spa party so i can get my eyebrows done for free, scarfed some of their appetizers while waiting, then went to the post office then back to work. steve and i went to an ethiopian restaurant after work for our last dinner before he leaves for a week. we went home, cleaned the kitchen together (1/3 of the apartment) then watched twin peaks and went to sleep. today i felt like i couldve worked another 9 hours but i had to leave early because they didnt want me getting over time again so i went home and did laundry and started checking my emails THEN all of a sudden.. i catch glimpse of a mouse run by in the next room. AND THEN he came back with not one but TWO of his friends/family and they start playing. they looked like they were wrestling just like two dogs would, RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF MY LIVING ROOM!! i shout at them NOOOO like they can understand then jump right on the bed. i call an exterminator and he tells me he can come but all hes going to do is put down a whole bunch of stuff that i already have and doesnt work. then dani calls me and invites me to gay bar hop and i tell him i cant because im standing on my bed because they are mice in my apartment and hes like "they are more scared of you then you are of them, come to the bar and ill buy you a drink" then i have to explain to him that i cant go to to the bar because i cant leave my bedrooooooom and hang up. steve comes home and feels terrible that they day he leaves, mice are running around. he actually saw one the other day but we didnt believe him because were were smoking hindu kush and figured he was just being paranoid. so he ordered another pestoffense which only comes with priority delivery so i have to wait until then. i actually think i heard them leave through the walls abd thats how im writing this here but i cant stop thinking about how they were playing right in front of me like no big deal. i dont want to use mouse traps/poison because i dont want them to die (i just dont want them here!!) and it doesnt even work anyway. these mice dont take the cheese, and one actually got stuck in the sticky trap and got out and i know this because his hair was all over it. the only thing that works is pest offense which messes with their brains and tells them not to come. i just talked to the pest offense guy for ten minutes on the phone about how I CANT WAIT TIL IT COMES!!! and he gave me all kinds of advice and basically if you ever have a roden problem and want to take care of it in a environmentally safe way use the link above cuz im all about promoing good shit. plus they are really sweet southern people even though the picture of their kids on the page kinda creeps me out!
so tomorrow ill be doing meals on heels at the center for aging which is basically like meals on wheels except we are on foot which makes sense because we are in the city. its going to be great excercise and ill try not to get all choked up as some of the elderly people recieve few if any visitors. after that i have to stop by an ethiopian birthday party in harlem THEN later in the afternoon its time for some gay pride as ill be attending the dyke march at bryant park and sunday with the other over 1.5million people celebrating LGBT Pride all over manhattan.
i have alot more to update about but im still thinking of the mice i saw so im going to hide in my room for the rest of the night.
HOPE EVERYONE HAS A FABULOUS WEEKEND!
