Work seemed like it went on forever last night. I've been sick you see....and I still had a tiny fever. the whole time I felt like I had hit pre-menopause. i almost lost it when the smell of shepards pie hit my nostrils...i was sweating like a pig. however in the end I walked away with $260... i guess the hot flashes and nausea were worth it. working again tonight...bleh same ol' same ol'.

interesting story...
The day from hell started on my way to 7-11. all i wanted was a coke. my tire blew out. and of course I left my cell phone at home...ironic...Now, I drive a VW and if you are familiar with them then you know how EXTREMELY difficult it is to change the tire. Not to mention my lift was a piece of shit that kept buckling down and DROPPING my car...yea, real safe....so after many failed attempts... i'm on the verge of fucking tears...hands, face, clothes....ALL COVERED IN MUCK....total damsel in distress scenario...when...YEAY! A man named Juan came to the rescue. Now normally I would be more cautious but I had a tire iron in my hand the whole time. Knock a muthafucka out if necessary. He saw my lift and said "no bueno"...yea no shit i said to myself. So with some of his own tools WHAM BAM THANK YOU MAM...he had my spare on in seconds. I was so happy!!! I wasn't stranded. I gave Juan a high five and thanked him over and over. I think he thought i was crazy...meh. So $78.65 later...i have a new tire. all i wanted was a coke.


updates
I adopted a cat last week. Her name is "mogwai"...cause she looks like gizmo from gremlins. Well..kinda...she has a flat face....and when you push her ears down....mogwai. whatever. Popeye is kinda mean to her...he hisses at her a lot. Sometimes growles. He's a grumpy little man and does not do well with sharing. I just got off the phone with Michael and apparently popeye hase a piece of paper in his mouth and insists on growling...to let mogwai know that that paper...that stupid piece of paper belongs to him. what to do? I hope he can get used to her.


I'm moving into the apartment tomorrow. FINALLY...I'm so sick of this nomad lifestyle. I want a home. And now i have one. Popeye, Mogwai and I will be very cozy. Disfunctional...but cozy.
