Mama always said there'd be days like this...
This week has been pretty shitty.
I lost my cellphone on Tuesday. Got it back on Friday. The guy who found the phone left a confusing voice mail on my mom's phone that lead me to believe my phone had been lost on the premises of the elementary school I went and voted at. Something along the lines of "some kid left it here, so I've turned it into the office."
Turns out that the school is closed for construction, so when I went back Wednesday and it was closed I was surprised and left with clueless construction workers who could tell me nothing about where my phone might be. Thursday I went to the district administration office because I figured if it had been lost at the school, maybe it had been relocated there. I spent a good half an hour up there while one of the secretaries called around for me. I left contact info and went on my way.
Thursday night my mom contacts me through AIM and finds out that my phone is located at the office here where I live which means I lost my phone at the mailbox. I guess because it had this cellphone charm attached, the guy assumed it belonged to a kid. :| I picked it up from the office when I went to pay rent today.
Thursday was my mom and late grandmother's birthday. I tried to be happy, but I was depressed about not having my phone so I couldn't actually call my mom to wish her a happy birthday. And then it occurred to me that it was also my grandma's birthday and that made me really sad. Especially considering it was so close (as always) to an election day. And that always brings up a big can of worms for me because even though I know it's not really my fault, I still feel guilty about her death. I'm getting choked up writing about this, so I'm just going to leave it at that.
Today was okay, though I stood in line forever at the credit union to get our official check for paying rent and that compounded with I guess all the stress from this week and has left me feeling like every muscle in my body is burning. Like I have a sunburn on my muscles. And they all feel extra heavy and I'm very cranky about all this.
And then I give people at shounenbattle two weeks to make two icons and only half of them submitted, so I had to do an hour extension. Which I hate doing because I feel like it's unfair to everyone who submitted on time. And then after that hour only a couple others submitted and we're still missing close to half the submissions, so I gave another extension. And I'm really cranky about it because they had TWO WEEKS to make an icon. And I'm just irritated. The challenge itself was easy (though getting the bonus points not so much). So I really don't understand what the holdup is.
On the plus side, I have enjoyed watching anime and movies with junkmail and unsquared. The three of us have been watching Inazuma Eleven (we just finished season 1 tonight) and unsquared and I have watched a few movies, Kuragehime and Shiki.
I also got two packages in the mail today with tea in them from a tea exchange I signed up for. One of them from the ever so lovely kaalee and the other from someone else on lauriegilbert's flist. I've tried the Tiramisu and Apple teas from kaalee so far and they are both divine. *A* I'm looking forward to trying all the others. I also need to get out to the tea store this week because every time I've been near it, I didn't have the list of what people liked/didn't like with me.
