I need a new tire... fml.
Ugh, it’s 3:12 PM right now and I’m back at work and just waiting for my mom to call and tell me when my car is done. I am on the edge of my seat, waiting and waiting and waiting. But even when they call, I’ll still have to sit here and wait for mom to drive all the way here. It’s super annoying. I won’t get home until 4:30 or 5, I bet. Once I get my car, I need to go to the gas station ASAP and then go to the grocery store for odds and ends. We’d probably be okay with not going to the grocery store if we had toilet paper in the house… but alas, we are TP-less, so… yeah.
I just texted Eric and asked if he could go to Walgreens for toilet paper after work because that’s really the only thing we NEED tonight. I can get to the store tomorrow easily and not at 5 PM… but tonight, we need toilet paper. Besides, my grocery list isn’t very long:
- Deli turkey (honey mesquite; sliced super thin - one pound)
- Deli turkey (Cajun for Eric - half a pound)
- Ketchup
- Beans (the kind with bacon!)
- Bread (for Eric because his has mold, and I’m probably close to needing a new loaf, too)
- Cornflakes (I still have a box, I think)
- Toilet paper
- Kitty litty (aka: litter because I like to keep a stock pile just in case)
The only thing we absolutely need is toilet paper because each of us has half a roll in our bathrooms, and that’s just not enough for poop monsters like us. Hopefully Eric will be okay with getting the toilet paper, so then I can just worry about picking up my car and getting gas in it. I just remembered that my birth control is ready for me to pick up, too, AND my new mouth guard. I won’t ask him to get my mouth guard because I’m pretty sure that has been ready for me to pick up for like 2 weeks now, but no one called me. So I called yesterday and the lady was like, “We didn’t know we were supposed to call you, but like yeah, it’s here at the front desk.” So I planned on going in today since they are either closed entirely on Friday or they close early (I can’t remember). I don’t necessarily need to use a new one quite yet, though, so I’m okay with keeping it at the dentist’s until Monday if I have to.
If Eric goes to Walgreens, though, he can get toilet paper and my birth control (it should be free). And then I can get my car, get gas, get Scarlett, go home and take a shower, and then relax for an episode of my show and then it’ll be meatloaf making time, but then relaxation again because meatloaf takes like an hour to cook. I just want to relax, dang it. There has been so much stuff that I’ve had to do and/or take care of lately… I am just ready for a break, like a full-on break.
Dealing with Illini Bank has been an ordeal in and of itself. I’m so tired of Joy and her complete lack of helpfulness. Hello, lady, you’re a fucking banker! You’re supposed to be nice to your clients to gain more business!! Apparently she’s super nice in person and over the phone, but I’ve been mostly dealing with her via email and she comes across as an unlikeable biatch. She constantly is needing things from me, but never telling me exactly what she needs - just telling me that what I give her isn’t what she needs. And she keeps losing things… I swear, I’ve sent my bank statements over at least three times - to her AND Mandy (her assistant who is actually super sweet). I thiiiiiiiink she’s got everything she needs from us, except for Eric’s Regions bank statement that should be available on June 27th apparently. Fingers fucking crossed, otherwise the closing will get pushed back and that’s just bullshit. I want my damn house, damnit!
I just texted mom right now and asked if she had heard anything about my car yet. I’m getting stir crazy here at work and Eric is off work in 2 minutes and I just want him to get toilet paper and birth control so bad, lol. Mom texted me back right now and said they just called and my car is done! I have no idea how much it will cost… but I’m prepared to be sad about it. So I guess mom is on her way to get me and I assume she will text me when she’s here. Then she’ll take me to Lauterbach and then I’ll pay and go to the gas station and go get Scarlett and go home!!!! I mean, it is early enough that I probably could go to the grocery store today… but I feel like if Eric goes, then it’s easier because otherwise, I’ll have to go to the grocery store AND Walgreens. He could just go to Walgreens now and I’ll do the grocery shizzle tomorrow, when there’s more time.
It is 3:30 PM right now, so I’m getting ready to call Eric shortly. He doesn’t always check his cell phone after work, so you never know if he’ll see my texts or not. If he doesn’t get them until he gets home, then he’ll be angry… he’s always angry about something, though… it’s really hard. But he DOES see how mean he is sometimes, and he DOES apologize for it and I think feel genuinely sorry… but it’s tough still. I’m always the sane, level-headed one, even though he’d say that he is… but he’s not, and I am… and it’s just really fucking hard sometimes, okay? I love him and I love us and our marriage, but he is such a difficult person… but for some reason, I am attracted to that sort of wounded soul. It’s the same reason I felt so complete with Jenn in my life because she is such a hot mess and I always had someone to take care of, if you will. That’s kind of my relationship with Eric, except we also have really amazing sexytimes.
Well crap, I just tried to call Eric and he didn’t answer. Perhaps his phone is on silent or he just hasn’t had a chance to look at it yet… we’ll see. I’ll try again in a couple minutes. It is 3:33 right now, though, so make a wish!!!!
