Deliriously Happy or Deliriously Tired

You choose.

I am in the home stretch. Two more mornings and then we have Friday off and then we move!

We went and bought our new furniture this past Saturday and set up the delivery. I was proud of myself, and still am, because I didn't/haven't had any panic attacks. I have a hard time buying stuff (other than necessities) sometimes... Especially when I am spending a large amount of money... At once... It's overwhelming and difficult for me... But that's another story, for another time... Assuming I ever share it.

It was hilarious to see us trying to navigate and maneuver our FOUR flat carts to the register and then to the "Home Delivery" counter... Thankfully the super awesome people at IKEA were way helpful. Everything will be delivered between five and nine pm on Saturday. First thing I think we will put together is the couch! The armchair will have to wait until we go back to IKEA because the cover was out of stock. We still got the armchair itself just not the cover, and I don't intend to put it together until we have the cover.

The weather is looking promising for this weekend. At least for the important times it is. I am keeping my fingers crossed. It is April... In Oregon... Yea.

I just can't wait. For everything. The new place. The new furniture. Getting to drive my "Ricky" (the truck) to work again. Sharing the pictures with all my friends. Having ALL of my life back (instead of losing five days of the week essentially). All the new places to explore. EVERYTHING.

Work is still heavenly compared to the collection agency. As of last Friday I now have medical and dental benefits! AND my day off this Friday will be paid thanks to the vacation time I have accrued so far! I know there will be bad days. It's inevitable, but I am not going to let them get to me. I am doing my job and I have learned so much. I haven't upset anyone that I know of. I hope should I ever do so whomever I tick off will tell me.

Today my boss is out sick, which is part of the reason I have time to do this. I really can't leave the front office if no one else is here... Which sucks because I really have to pee... But I am trying to hold out as long as possible before I ask my one person available to cover me while I run to the restroom... The other woman who works in the front office (though today is one of her regular work days) is long gone... She "didn't have anything to do" so she left right after my lunch was over at 11:30.... Yea... I have been trapped at my desk since then... I was able to get all my filing caught up which was nice.... God I have to pee... Just an hour and fifteen minutes of this workday left... I know I can't wait that long, but I can maybe wait another fifteen to twenty minutes..... I hope my bladder doesn't explode...

I wonder if Edgar is going to get the washer and dryer tonight... If not, no biggie... I am sure he will come get them in the next couple days... He lives in our little "complex" and does the maintenance. We told him he could have the washer and dryer if he wanted them since we won't need them (and I REALLY don't want to move them).

HALLELUJAH! My bladder is empty!!! I feel so much better. Now to make it through the last hour and go home to slave over a broiling hot microwave! We having hot pockets for dinner! Yea, I am not cooking AT ALL this week. The entire house is packed except for most basic of necessities. We have just enough clothing each to last the week, we have only a couple spoons and forks out, our bathroom stuff (shampoo, toothpaste, etc), and so on. All of Spazzer's toys are still out but that's because I don't want to freak her out anymore than necessary, and trust me, between the couches being gone the last couple weeks now, and everything else going into boxes or being "Goodwill-ed", the monkey is sufficiently agitated.

If I successfully remembered to post this, I am posting it while Collin takes his shower... And our bedtime is fast approaching... Only one more bedtime like this left... Tomorrow night...

I have found the best way to shut off my mind so that I can achieve blissful sleep: I start playing songs in my head, at random. Or I just start thinking random items/words and then I sort of drift... Incoherent thoughts is the best way to throw my mind off... Otherwise it would focus uncontrollably on EVERYTHING that is coming up this weekend, and then I wouldn't sleep a wink, and I would turn into a freaking zombie... Well, more of one than I already am.

Well that's it for now... We'll see what the next couple days bring!
