Clearly I have offended some vengeful gypsies
This is from last night. The post is doing weird things and floating around like it doesn't want to be found, which is... about right?
While I'm taking a breather, allow me to tell you about my week so far. I'm beyond facepalming and occasionally hoping a truck hits me, which at this point would not be surprising at all.
* Spent 5 hours on the bedroom on Monday evening. Not washing anything, because my washing machine broke late last week; just stuffing things into garbage bags.
* Called the manager, learned there was no way to reschedule the exterminator's visit, and told her that I will do my best. I did not promise to fully complete the prep list, because that would be promising the impossible.
* Spent a few more hours finishing the bedroom after work today. Ran out of garbage bags. Went to the car to go buy more, battery was dead.
* Tried to use my new charger/portable jump starting unit for the car battery, it wouldn't work. Took it inside, charged for a couple of hours, tried again. No luck.
* Called roadside assist. Got an ETA, went back into my apartment to do some more work rather than waiting in the dark parking lot.
* Climbed up to the top of the fridge to get the dish towels and recipe books, managed to knock over my container of Raisin Bran, which was a plastic thing rather than a box due to the cockroaches. Container hit the counter then floor. Raisin Bran EXPLOSION. All over kitchen. Cleaned it up. Waited for roadside assist some more.
* All this time, my phone battery was getting lower. Realized I left my charger at work. My other charger, I left at the farm. Was concerned about being able to receive calls from the roadside assist fellow.
* Roadside assist guy arrived 1 1/2 hours after I made the initial call... because he'd had an accident on the way to help me.
* After the jump, I was supposed to let the car run for 20 minutes, but my Low Fuel light was on and the gauge was on E. Drove to the nearest gas station and parked right by a pump in case I ran out of gas during the 20 minutes.
* Finally got to the store -- Super Wal-Mart was the only place open -- and home by 11pm. Got started on the living room.
None of which, alone, would be a big deal. Needless to say, I did not get as much packing done this evening as I could have.
However, I did have some Ozark walnut ice cream, which I splurged on when I was getting the trash bags. If I'm spending a couple hundred or more on plastic bins and bags and detergent, what's a five dollar carton of premium ice cream? It was good. The pets were very attentive while I ate it.
