Went to bed at 4am this morning ... woke up to the ringing of the phone at 6am. It was one of the football coaches needing to be let in to the building to wake his players up.
I let him in and returned to be. Work up at 6:20 by phone call from another coach and construction workers needing to be let in. Went to bed only to get a phone call at 6:40 by the first coach saying he made certain phone calls so he could acquire a side entrance key to the building so he wouldn't have to wake me up each day. Thanks.
Back to bad, phone call at 7:30, one of my RAs. Bed, phone call at 8, my supervisor. Bed, alarm at 8:30 and I am up.
Sat in the lobby for an hour and a half in case anyone needed to check in, no one did.
Went to my car to go to Wal Mart to buy supplies .... battery was dead. No one was around to give me a ride to a parts store.
Rode bike to Lo-Bills grocery to get Sunday paper, WD 40 and Coca Cola.
Attempted removal of battery .... took almost an hour to get to one both through some ingenuity and a mixture of WD40 and Coca Cola. It really does eat through anything.
Back to sleep, RA calls back wanting to get into his room to install carpet. No prob, I help.
Slice my leg on carpet knife in a moment of stupidity .... always cut away from the body.
Back to room and supervisor called saying she can run me to Auto Zone.
Clean and bandage leg, get box for battery.
Get new battery, install in car, go to WalMart, buy supplies, go to Kroger, buy milk and ice cream and peanut butter M&Ms.
And now I am writing a journal and chatting with Liz while eating Cookie Dough ice crean out of the container with a spoon. Today is a good day.
