I walked out to go to the recycling place day before yesterday and one of my tires was pancake flat. After a phone call to my dad determined that I shouldn't drive on it at all not even to go just across the street to the tire place, I called AAA to send someone to try reinflating the tire so I could drive 300 feet safely. He was kind of skeevy, ( Read more... )

Woke up to an e-mail from my prof. You know my paper I was working on last week? The one I did in three days and turned in my first draft with an hour left in the grace period? The one that was complete garbage? She wants to use it as an exemplar of the assignment for future semesters. Yeah. I can write an 8 page A paper in three days, ( Read more... )

I hope this year will be happier than the last.

Halloween was somewhat unhappy, as it is my sixth anniversary in this apartment. Every year I keep swearing it will be my last, and yet circumstances collude to continue trapping me here.

Working 7pm-2am Thanksgiving.

I am shredded about not being able to go to Phoenix for the holidays. Just ... I need my mommy right now and my boss won't let me go get a hug from her ( Read more... )

As of right now, I'm not scheduled at all this week. This is a financial disaster, not the least because my mom has to get both her car and my sister's truck fixed this week ( Read more... )

I made it home okay, by the way. There was a lot of traffic, but the drive wasn't horrible. Left the cats one more night and picked them up yesterday. It was only $36 more, and then I got there and my bill was less than they had quoted me anyway. I suspect it was because only Onyx's vaxes were listed on the bill. Ty and Kiri may not have ( Read more... )

My aunt got me WiiU Disney Infinity and WiiU Lego Marvel Superheroes for my birthday! Both of which I asked for. Unfortunately, this would have been 100% more awesome if someone had also gotten me the WiiU listed directly above those two games on my Christmas/birthday list ( Read more... )
