friends?!

It's Thursday or as we like to call it, Friday Eve. It's been a weird week thank to the snow. Work has been almost quiet, and we've had the ups and downs of the week. Yesterday was definitely more of an up. With a little luck, we'll end the week strong.

I got up and texted a dude that my BIL's sister had used. He texted me back by 8am and got the info about the job. He quoted more than the first dude who ghosted, which I didn't care even a little bit about. He said he'd be over around 12pm, so I let my boss know I might need to step away for a few minutes right before lunch.

Then, I went to work. At 9:30, I got ahold of the pharmacy, which was indeed open. Whoohoo! They said they'd get my meds together and deliver them to me! Double Whoohoo!

At around 11:30, I got a text that the dude who shoveled our snow was going to be there at 12:45. Cool. During my lunch, that's awesome, I can go out and meet him and observe a bit. Then, at about 12:15, he texted saying that he had a flat tire. Ooookay. Starting to worry about being ghosted again, but he says he'll be there as soon as the flat is fixed.

At 12:55, he says he's on his way and will be here in 10 minutes. To my utter shock, in 10 minutes, Emmanuel pulls up in his truck and gets to work. It took him 1 hour to dig both cars completely out. Then, we moved them down to the far end of the parking lot so that the maintenance could plow the spots clear.

While Emmanuel was working hard, my prescriptions showed up. Trpple Whoohoo!

I finished up work, and headed out to pick up my sister from work, as she had to Uber in with her car stuck. Fortunately, since schools were out, the traffic wasn't horrible. After that, a trip to the dispensary, and then home to rest after what was an eventful day.

I ran out of my sleep pills, and tried Jess' "Relaxing Peppermints" made by Dixie. Let me tell you, those fuckers are so relaxing that I switched to them from the sleep tablets. They knock me out fast and hard. I approve of this. I did have to switch up the time that I take them. The sleep tablets took forever to kick in. But these are super fast. Last night, I was antsy. I took my pills, and we started an episode of Shmanners, and I was just out about 10 minutes in. That's better than the prior two nights where I fell asleep before we did a podcast.

I don't like the second book in the Empyrean Series as much, though it's still very readable. Mostly I dislike the addition of a bog-standard mean girl who's after the main character over stealing her man. (The man broke up with her before he started dating the main, so it's just her being jealous about losing so much power.) It's just not the most pleasant to read. I'm still reading it, it's just annoying. Hopefully the third book will be better.

98 days to Alaska! I need to start getting out some cash, so that I'm better able to tip. I figure it'll take a few visits to get everything I need. I need some $5, $10, $20s and some $50's.

the little bills are for the waiters and bartenders and housekeeping in the pre and post hotels, the $20s are for the cabin stewards and then the 50's are for the drivers. All totalled, I want about $1400 in cash to go with, mostly small bills.

I could just go into the bank, but I'd prefer not.

Today, we're going to have a nice day, which will be quiet and pleasant, right?

Time to put on pants! Everyone have an outstanding Thursday!

It's Wendnesday morning and today is going to be a better day than yesterday!

Actually, yesterday wasn't horrible, just frustrating. First up, my sister went to get her car out for work, and couldn't. She's stuck half in and half out of the spot. Jess went out to help her clean up, but even with them pushing, it would go nowhere. I tried again at lunchtime, and still no luck.

Work was fine. I did a lot of filling in slots and wheeling and dealing to make room for other things. Mostly I was successful, so I was actually pretty pleased with myself.

In the morning, I put a message out for someone to help us dig our cars out. And a guy answered, so I gave him the info and we agreed on a price. Needless to say, he no-showed and has ghosted me. I think my sister got the number of a dude who one of the BIL's family used, so we'll try him this morning.

Then, since I was unable to get the car out, I Ubered over to the pharmacy to get my inhalers. And the pharmacy was closed. No clue why. Just locked up and no one there. I'll have to call them today and hope that they're open, otherwise I will need to call the doctor and beg them to switch my meds to another pharmacy, because I am down very low on my rescue inhaler. This of course, will mean that they won't have my new prescription in, because they had to order it, and they weren't there to receive it, apparently. I'm beginning to panic about how low I am on albuterol. It's really not great, especially seeing that I still have a bit of a cough. Hopefully, they're in today and I can just take an uber over on my lunch break to pick it up if the cars haven't been dug out.

Like I said, hopefully today will be less frustrating, and hopefully, our cars are freed tonight so I can run to the dispensary. I'm also out of my sleepy pills, though I used Jess' relaxing mints, and those work really well, possibly better than the ones crafted for sleep.

Work will either be really quiet or it'll pick up today. We'll see which it is. If nothing else, it's payday and that's exciting. All of my overtime comes in on today's check, so that'll be lovely. It looks like it's about $300 extra. Definitely will have to think on what I want to with it. Definitely a nice lunch or dinner this weekend, but something else as well.

They're talking about a possible snow this weekend as well. Probably not like this, but some. We'll see how the forecast goes. Right now, its only a 40% chance. Hopefully, it stays the hell away.

We're now down to 99 days til the cruise! Double digits!

Okay, time for me to get myself together. Everyone have a lovely Wednesday!
