Hnnnnggg
I hate, hate allergies. I swear, life was much easier when I thought I had a month-long October cold. Somehow, a cold makes me feel better than allergies -even if back then it was allergies too. So. I'm kind of sick as a dog, and can't do anything to help it, other than, you know, BLOW ALL THE TREES TO THE SUN.
So, Autumn has gotten a hold on us -I think- and life here has returned to normal, sort of. I had no work this week due the fact that the Presidency of the town we're making new development plans for at work hasn't returned the revisions. That's a sad state of affairs because I won't get paid this week, and man, do I have debts. But it was also nice because, well, I kind of hate my job! I really want it to be done soon, except I don't have a job to replace it and I still need the money! oh, woes. Anyway. It was a good week in the sense that I was supposed to have more free time -except I kind of didn't, I have no idea why. I guess it was a mix of being sick and tired -thus sleeping in the afternoons and blowing my free time- and having lots of homework. Woe! Very little writing was done.
My Saturdays are kind of being consumed by the carpentry class I take in the mornings. It's four hours of extenuating work, which I love, but.. I sand dusted for 4 hours straight yesterday. It didn't help my allergies at all!!
In any case, I went to AtomiKa in the afternoon to work on the Social Service plans we have due for tomorrow, and we.. didn't finish anything at all. I hate my Social Service. What is it with people that request voluntaries and have no idea what they want? It's a huge waste of time. It makes me angry. So, we didn't do much about it since I had to leave early for a concert for our City Festivities. I was driving Gabie to her house and had a horrible moment in a red light. All the cars started diverging to another lane, and when it was my turn, there was a man laying in the asphalt in my lane, that's why everyone was moving to the other one.. but no one had stopped! I freaked out!! We kept driving until I found someplace to stop about a block ahead and we were going to call emergencies, and we heard the Ambulance coming in. A van had stopped by the man, too, to check on him -he looked unconscious to me and I'm ashamed to admit I was terrified to go to him and see if he was dead or what, and that's about the last I knew of that. I mean, not that we could have done anything other than wait for the ambulance... but I feel kind of bad for not doing more. There didn't seem to be blood or anything.. just a man -in crutches, actually- laying on the floor. I don't do well in emergency situations :( Shame.
So I drove Gabie to D's -curiously, D has done an 180 in his attitude and we're back to 'normal', as normal as in scarred distrusting heart can do- and I went home. We went to watch The Help, a tribute band of the Beatles. OMFG IT WAS AWESOME! I danced and sang and yelled until my throat hurt more. It is broken now! but I had a great time, the band was really cool and they dressed up like the Beatles -actually looked eerily a lot like them- and it was a bizarre moment when they first came to the scenario where my brain froze and said 'WTF THIS CAN'T BE HAPPENING!!'. Me and my brother took my parents to see them, Dad really enjoyed himself, I think. Stoic as he is, he sang! Fun times :)
And just now Pompom came over to deliver me something I bought from her -she sells Victoria Secret, I am a compulsive buyer!- and she brought me the puppy she rescued in May to see him. I hadn't seen him in about 3 months, and the poor distraught sick thin-as-a-stick puppy I met and loved is no more! He's Puddle, a race I'm not very fond of, but omg he's adorable. He's huge, too, and fat! and adorable, loving and well trained. Just a darling. I'm so glad he's doing so much better! It made my day to see him.
I need to sit down and start to plan the specifics of my trip to Japan next March. I want to give my parents a very detailed itinerary that won't help their worrying any, but that will settle some things in their heads. Also, Rodrigo -roomy extraordinair in AtomiKa and teacher at school- gave me green light to star planning next Semester's school trip, since he's the one in charge of it. I think we're going to Spain :) The World Pavilion Fair is in Zaragoza, I really want to visit Barcelona and La Alhambra and there's just lots and lots of things to see. It would rock! and since I will do most of the planning... I can schedule it for June, so I can do both trips next semester! ...now I just need lots of money, lol.
As for writing, I'm half done with day 6 of Somewhere to Hang the Secret Identity, but I haven't been able to sit down to finish it in all week. Woes. I have an idea for the dcdailylife challenge, and a bunny for a new Quiet Revelations story. Those are the ones I itch to write, but I have yet to find the time to do so :S
Today I'm formatting the laptop. It's scary. I need my lappy! It's actually vital to everything I do! I have cleaned it up and it's running much better already but there's so much crap I have no idea how I ended up with that I really think I should do the formatting. D will help me. Wish the lappy good luck!
I am behind on everything, needless to say. I hope everyone is doing okay. I need to take a shower before heading for the office to do the stupid Social Service thing. *huugs flist*
