Stuff and things.
First off, thank you to the lovely person who offered to send me some of their home distilled essential oils. <3 I've not had the opportunity to work with juniper or geranium before, but from what I know of their properties I think they will be extremely useful. I was actually thinking about getting back into using oils, so maybe this would be a good time! I can pick up some carrier oil (Anyone know where I can get cotton seed or cherry kernel carrier oil at a decent price?) and perhaps some bergamot and lavender to start off with. That would be lovely. <3
I spent a good chunk of time dealing with the place I ordered my books from this morning since the larger package is STILL missing. I need those fucking books NOW. They said if they aren't here by end of the day on Friday that I can call on Tuesday (Mon. being a holiday) and they will resend them or issue a refund. Well, whoop-de-doo. If you resend them on Tue, they won't be here for another 7 business days, which is like the 13th of September. Getting books at the end of the third week of school doesn't do me much damned good, does it? So I guess if it comes to that I will place an order with Chegg - they are more expensive, and I'd have to pay for the 1-3 day shipping, but at least I know they will get here. So stressed. I really can't afford to spend the extra money, cause I really need to buy shoes and a few more clothes. Also, I managed to lose my immunization records that I picked up from Joliet when I went to see my mom. They never made it home with me, so I'm *really* hoping that they are at her house and didn't get thrown away while I was cleaning out her place. I still need to get one booster shot, and that's going to be another $50-$60 as well. FML.
Joel is butthurt that I'm not willing to sit on my ass all day today on the compo. We slept super late, which of course is my fault, because if an alarm doesn't get set it's on me because I'm the only one who can wake us up. And after spending time on the phone/on hold with the book place and calling my mom, I feel like I *need* to get some house stuff done that I haven't been able to do for two days. Since he can't find anything to do in the house without me asking or telling him, I guess he can dick around on the internet all day while I work. It is his day off, so I don't begrudge him some relaxation time, but ffs, if you can't look around the house and *see* what needs doing and do a few things, I don't know what to say. He mentioned yesterday that we should *do* something today, but I'm going to go ahead and assume that's not going to happen because *I* didn't plan for it. Make sense to me?
Whatever. I'm just stressed out and probably over reacting. Maybe I'm wrong.
Regardless, I have things to do, so need to get to them.
PS - The glands in my neck are swollen and they hurt like a bitch. I have enough shit to bitch about, so I'll keep it to myself.
ETA: Joel's answer to not being able to find anything in the house to do (wipe off the glass tables, take out the trash, bathe the ferrets, take the dogs for a walk, water my plants, clean off his desk, just a few things off the top of my head...) was to start the huge project of cleaning the spare room. Only, he's not really cleaning it, he just took all the messy stuff out and is re-stacking it. o.0 When I pointed this out, that we needed to get rid of some stuff, he said that he's making it easier to get to when we want to go through stuff and throw it out. But...wouldn't we just take it all out to go through it and then stack up the stuff we wanted to keep? IDGI. I guess he just wanted to do *something* and didn't want to figure out house stuff to do. A for effort I guess?
