My day so far
Mar. 25th, 2009 01:11 pmWoke up around 6am from a nightmare where my friend (who looked like the big fat guy from lost), wanted to kill himself and I was doing everything I can to try to convince him otherwise. I ended up crying because there was nothing I could do to stop him.
Unfortunately I was not able to fall back asleep. Inconvenient.
Luckily I didn't have work today. I took the entire day off for a doctor's appointment. Normally the wait is 3 hours, so I thought it made sense not to worry about coming in at all.
I get out to my car, and it won't start. I called my dad, who thinks the car needs a jump. Of course the entire apt complex works, so there is no one to jump the car. Inconvenient.
Ben took a bus to work and I jogged to my doctor's appointment. The doctors and nurses were all very impressed that I was able to jog nearly 2 miles and not die. My blood pressure was absolutely perfect. The nurse said I am doing something right because I am in perfect health. (Minus my cold, which is clearing up.)
On the way home I stopped at the office to pick up my new mailbox key and to request an ash tray of some sort for in front of our building. Someone in the building smokes a lot and leaves their butts all over the lawn and stairs. It's pretty nasty. They said they would check what the policy is for that sort of thing and at the bare minimum, send out a reminder to our whole building to not be disgusting and throw butts on the ground.
Then I decided to try my car again. This time I got the bright idea to unplug ben's chargers. Car started right up! I drove the car around the block a few times to recharge the battery and have reminded ben to unplug his chargers when they are not in use. They slowly drain the battery even when the car is not on.
Now I am considering doing some shopping that I have been putting off for a long time. I need at least 1 more pair of work pants or a work skirt. I have one pair that is not going to make it through the summer if I wash it as often as I do now. I hate shopping though. It is a terrible waste of time and money. Plus I am worried that if the car breaks again, I won't be able to get home because I'll be too far away. What should I do?

Mar. 25th, 2009 07:10 pmI did eventually go shopping. I drove to tysons because there is a bus home if the car broke down and because it was far away enough to give the battery a good charge.
After 2 hours, I had a skirt and a $10 gift card for the lego store. The gift card should have been a robot, but they were all out. They are going to order more and have it shipped to me. The gift card was to apologize for the inconvenience. I gave the card to ben to bling up his robot once it gets here.
When I got home, my socks had arrived! New socks make me happy. I also bought sock glue because some of my older socks are not holding up as well as they used to. None of my socks match my new skirt though. Maybe I should buy more socks? (I really like new socks.)
