gracie

This past week has been kind of hectic. Mike is finally settled in on base so things are starting to normalize again. I got to see the dorms yesterday. Pretty cushy ticket. I can't get on base without someone with a military ID in the car even though I have a pass. That's gonna be a pain in the arse until Mike's car is fixed...

Tuesday felt like Monday.

Got pulled over not even 15 minutes into my commute for doing 71 in a 55. Fortunately or unfortunately I didn't have the paperwork stating that I'm in the process of getting my car fixed to pass DE inspection so the woman who pulled me over just wrote me up for having expired tags. The fine is higher but it's a...

Just got back from my holiday weekend up in NJ.

Fun stuff.

Did all the typical 4th goodness. BBQ, sunburn etc. Walked around NYC for like 10 hours. Mike and Brandon, being trained Airmen could walk the length of the city without blinking an eye. My struggleness on the other hand has me sitting here with blisters and sore legs STILL.

I got dehydrated while...

Almost friday.

I wish I had tomorrow off. I'm going to call a coworker and see if it'd be okay if I did take it off. It's short notice but .I can't wait for the holiday weekend to start.

The profit sharing from my last job finally got deposited into my account. Took them long enough. Geez. It came at a great time though, since...

Monday did not fail me today.
Woke up late. About an hour and 20 minutes late. Good thing Allie likes to be fed on schedule and will stop at nothing to wake my ass up in the morning. I had about 10 minutes to do what usually takes an hour or more. That was fun. [/lie]

Drove 45 minutes in the wrong direction to bring...

Starting to feel a little better. I got out and ran some errands, did some laundry and whatnot, too.

I bought some cleansers and airfreshners that all smell like lavander. It smells yummy in here now.

I realized rereading my journal that I never mentioned the fiasco with my house. Long story short, the asshead buying it lied about having a mortgage and ended up...

I've not been in a good way lately. I think stress is really getting to me. Stress and lonliness. I can't seem to relax at all.
I carry around this feeling of being empty, invisible, and disappointed all the time. Anxiously awaiting for whatever is going to go wrong, to actually go wrong.

In fact it's more accurately described as though everything is already going...

Brought my car into the VW dealer to finally fix the thing and get passed inspection.

Turns out it wasn't the computer :yay: but it was the catalytic converter, timing belt, tensioner and a clogged throttle. :notsoyay:

VW estimated, in parts alone, the cost of 1100 dollars. *swallows tongue* Fortunately the guy behind the counter was a sweety and pointed me in the direction of...

[megaphone]Sunday Sunday Sunday![/megaphone]

Probably one of the worst weekends I've had in a long time. Not because of anything particular that happened but because of my state of mind.

I already knew I was going to be bummed these few days because I'm currently missing a get together in Houston which nearly all my friends are attending. I miss having friends close by. This weekend...

bah.

I took my car to be inspected a month or so ago and it failed because of a check engine light. Finally got around to getting it to a mechanic and the place tried to rip me off saying it needs a new computer.

BS!

Now I have to take it somewhere else and pay to have it retested again so they can attempt...

So it's memorial day weekend and I'm stuck here at the apt since gas is so expensive and any plans I could have are three hours or more away each way.

Is that not the dumbest reason to no be having fun or what? bah.

Next week my best friend's son is turning 1 and so I'll be in NJ for the partay! I wish...

I haven't been here too much lately. I hate when I get so caught up in mundane things I can't spend time relaxing.

Today I decided on a whim to paint my bedroom pink. But I didn't stop there.

I also decided to try colorwashing over a very light pink with a darker blushy color.

My attention span being that of a goldfish's I have...
