I'm not vain, but I know this song is about me

So things with C are going as well as I could hope. That's I guess all I'm going to put about that. Again, sorry it's been a couple of days. The funniest thing that happened to me within the past couple of days actually happened to a coworker of mine.

Evidently, you can buy belts to keep maxi pads up. I had no idea. This old woman customer did. The package, in fact, read "belts sold separately." So she came to the counter and asked where. We had no idea...who knew? But, after a phone call to our wholesaler and no luck there either, my coworker hung up the phone and started laughing. I didn't know why. I asked. She said the woman on the other end of the phone line told her "tell the customer to check with the douche bags." haha. I would have laughed too!

I got my dining room mostly done. And I weeded about a quarter of my yard. And mowed. An old friend is coming to visit on the 24th, so I have to have everything done by then. Thank you, friend, for actually giving me a reason to get off my lazy ass and get that room done.

And my going back to school efforts are finally getting somewhere too. I got a letter that said I would have to return it to a certain building to be accepted as a grad assistant (thereby giving my free tuition). So I went there. They told me to go somewhere else. They gave me the wrong directions to the building. After getting to the right place finally, I filled out paperwork and was told to go back to the building...the same room actually...from whence I came not 10 minutes before. They said I was in the wrong place again, and sent me to the third floor. The third floor said I was on the wrong floor. The second floor could get me straightened out. The second floor could NOT get me straightened out, they said "the grad office can"...about half a mile away. The nice woman called though, and got everything taken care of on the phone. Thank you, nice lady on the second floor. So now all I've got to do is register for classes. I hope I can still work a decent amount of hours at the pharmacy. Not because I love it, but because I need money while I go to school. We'll see...I think there may not be enough hours in the day for everything I intend to do this fall...I'll make it happen. So that's my last couple of days in a nut shell. I bought food but have no pots or pans. Off to the outlet tomorrow to get a (hopefully) cheap set. I'll let you know. oh, and I woke up before work today. Like a long time before work. And cleaned, did laundry...before work? wtf. And it felt great. I'm going to try it again tomorrow. But I don't work...so I'm just going to wake up early. Victory! Weeding, sanding, painting, banking, driving, shopping, eating, sleeping. Maybe I can make a haiku for my day? I'll try...maybe like a database essay...haiku will be the summary. Full text will be...full text

I'll do it at the end tonight. For the last time.

Today I woke up
Earlier than I had to
It was a good day

****UPDATE!

I forgot, this was very sad today...one of my favorite customers (no, they're not ALL bad) told me today that she gets her results back from her Leukemia test tomorrow...

I was oddly sad when she told me. And moreso after this -- she points to the sky (ceiling, we're inside) and says, "I'm not ready to meet Him. But if He wants me, I guess it's my time." What do I say to that? I just said "I'll keep you in my thoughts..." which normally is just something I'd say to be friendly. But I actually will.
