(copy from journal - this, that, the other)
Thursday
So I'm back here at the temp job this afternoon. Came home yesterday and got really sick to my stomach out of nowhere. Couldn't even eat dinner. Tossed and turned all night and really felt awful. I ended up coming for the afternoon since if I managed four hours total of sleep all night, I'd be surprised. I needed to get some more rest. The day, even though it's only 4.5 hours long, is unbelievably dragging. Not sure why. I read through my LJ friends list (all 80 or so entries), commented and such, but...blah. I've got some more net nosing to do but I'm just really bored. It's very dull today. The weather's gloomy and overcast, threatening to storm but not and it's been really quiet. So it all adds up I guess to be kind of a rather dull day.
The computer's not fixed yet. Love was sick yesterday and he started to format the new drive to get it ready for me but it had some odd error and then it got late so he didn't want to fiddle with it. We'll try tonight. I just want to get back to having it again. I haven't checked my domain emails in days now and I can't imagine how many thousands of spam messages are sitting on my server. Not to mention, without the domain emails, I can't see if anyone emailed for important things like orders or inquires. Doubtful, but you know, it happens now and then. Speaking of, I should login to paypal just to see if anything posted. It won't help for inquiries but at least I can see if anything came in I need to know about. Wow. There was an order there. Dammit. It's a horn order though going to the UK. *sighs* $2 shipping doesn't cover it to the UK, so now I'm going to need to try to contact them but it's such a hassle because if they send a second payment, I get a second surcharge. My shipping page does clearly spell out the shipping rates including international ones. *sighs* Damned limitations of Paypal is that I don't know how to automatically get it to recognize the difference between US and non-US addresses.
Still need to make the pair of horns for my spooky mail swap. Like, tonight. Seeing as I need to ship it out tomorrow. Jeez. I just haven't gotten around to it. I can bring the box to the temp job though tomorrow and mail it out from here. Otherwise, I don't know how I'd make it to the post office. The whole lack of transportation thing is very annoying.
Mom found my shoes - in stock nonetheless! - yesterday, so I have them now for my bridesmaid dress. Next, I need a bra that converts to a halter-style and get it hemmed. Of course, I still owe my sister $30 for the dress and my mom $35 for the shoes. The alterations will be another $70. And it's my Nanny's 90th birthday and her party is on September 2nd. So I need to pay for dinner then, plus a card, plus a gift or something. I don't know where any of this is going to come from. Damned money. It's such a hassle. You know, they may say that money doesn't buy happiness, but poverty doesn't either. Because while it doesn't buy happiness, it buys food, puts a roof over your head and provides for creature comforts. Which all goes a long way towards happiness if you ask me.
Alrighty, well I have another hour and a half left in my day. Guess I'll go surf some more to try to pass the time. A reminder, if you tried to email me at my domain, I haven't gotten it and probably won't for another day or so. You can also reach me at my gmail instead - memoryanddream(at)gmail.com - since I can check that easily from any computer. Otherwise, I'll get back to anyone when I can.
TTFN.
