I really need to get out more
No Happy Hour for me tonight, stupid Jewish holiday. No offense - I'd be angry at any holiday (religious or otherwise) getting in the way of my fun. At least I was able to lay in bed and watch the premier of Miss Match while tivo-ing Joan of Arcadia in the living room.
So, I've had the past 2 days off work and what have I accomplished? Very little, let me tell you. I did get my Willow action figure in the mail which is the last one I wanted but didn't have. I went out to eat at the fancy sandwich place with Erin on Wednesday night. I did a wee bit of shopping but did not spend nearly enough time looking at shoes which I really need as sandal weather is rapidly drawing to a close and my Docs are defective. I did laundry and something very bad happened. I washed 3 sets of lavendar sheets (I have a thing about the color, okay?) and my beautiful, soft, fancy sheets came out with one spotch of pink on the flat sheet and a bunch on the one pillowcase. I don't know what happened. However, they are still very soft and I can hardly wait to get into bed tonight.
I also had a chiropractor appointment. I swear, ever since my beloved Dr. Coates left, the place has gone to hell. First of all, the new receptionist is too stupid to live. She tells me I owe $15 from my last appointment. I say, that's funny because I'm quite positive I had a $5 credit from the last time because I had just gone to the cash machine and only had twenties and they had no change. Needless to say, since I paid cash and didn't get a receipt, I have no proof so I had to pay up. Oh, and she tells me I owe $55 for today - because she added 35 + 15 and got 55. I hope next time I go in there the nice receptionist who was the one I dealt with who didn't have the change and who remembers me will... you know, remember. And wait, it gets better. I saw my doctor in the waiting room when I got there, so I know he was there. But she sent in the other doctor. Now, I didn't fully realize because I'm face down on the table when he comes in. But whatever, he does his thing. Then when I'm scheduling my next appointment she's trying to schedule me with him and I'm like - but I've been seeing Dr. Drouin and she gets this surprised expression on her face like there's a light dawning that she screwed up. Not that she admits it or anything. Now I'm sure the guy I saw is a fine doctor and all that - but he doesn't know me. He did this twist move on me which I knew was a bad idea and made my back spasm painfully and he had to get out the heavy duty massager to work it out. He dug into my underarm area so hard it still feels swollen. And worst of all, (now I've been going to the chiro for many years and however uncomfortable/painful it's been this had never happened), I'm bruised. Like I have black and blue marks on my spine. I'm thinking this isn't good.
So, I don't know what I'm doing the rest of the weekend. I think dreago and I might get together and watch the 2 eps of Carnivale that have aired so far. And there's still plenty of cleaning/straightening up to do around the homestead. But... shoe shopping! I do kind of need to hang around tomorrow at least till the mail comes as I expect my next ebay package to be showing up. I got a really good deal on the 1 Modern Circle Ken doll. Now if only I could do as well on the other 3 dolls in the series, but I don't think it's gonna happen. I hate me for spending money.
