Please be waiting, my way back home I'm making as I roll, roll back to your side

It's been a strange few days. Everything's happened all at once but not at all. The weekend wasn't so bad, not really.

I knew that I would have to get some things done to the car, and I needed to find someone to get a left front tire and align the car etc. Unfortunately, tires can be difficult for some shops to find for my car.

So, let's give a bullet list of how the last two days has gone:

• Sunday evening, a friend came over for dinner and whatever I ate ended up giving me some intense stomach issues. He feels fine but whatever it is, bleargh. It may very well be some sort of bug as it's stayed over to tonight. Bleargh.


• Monday started off decently. I spent some time sewing things and then I had to go and get some quotes on whole alignment/tire thing. Except that it's never easy. Got into a screaming match with Gramma, left crying and I finally went up to the parking lot at the mall near me and sat in my car and cried a good bit.


• Got a decent quote for the car things I still needed.


• Got into a fight with Mom.


• Got into an argument with my Jamie.


• Cried some more. Felt like shit. Went to bed at 8:30pm because fuck everything.


• Tuesday morning: Fixed me a bagel for breakfast and then one for "lunch" as after class, I would be heading straight to Midland to have my mechanic get my car and start fixing the right inner tire rod (which, if it goes, I lose all control of the car), the valve cover gaskets, and possibly the oil pan gasket (if it's not too much of a pain in the ass for him). I knew I'd be there at the shop until about 2-ish, until Mom and Gramma could come pick me up.


• Forgot that I had to attend a guest speaker spot for my English class. On a rainy, cold, windy Tuesday morning, I had to hike across the campus in that mess while my umbrella did fuck all to help.


• The guest speaker was a very charming man from Azerbaijan who talked to us for a while about the culture and his life and everything. It was exceptionally interesting, except I can't tell what it had to do with our English class. But whatever, it was super awesome.


• I then had to get into my car and get caught in lunchtime traffic just to get down to Midland.


• Left the car there, sat around with the mechanics and bullshitted for a few hours while I did research for my paper that'll be due in April.


• Mom and Gramma came, picked me up. Instead of Gramma saying she needed cigarettes and things at the store while we were out, she waited until we got home to say she needed things. Which then meant that I had to go BACK out.


• Gramma and I got into ANOTHER fight. I had to take her to get her stuff (as she can't drive because she hasn't had anything done about developing cataracts) and THEN we got caught behind a bus that had broken down.


• Finally we got home. Wherein I dragged the sewing machine that I've borrowed from Jamie for....I don't know how long...and taught myself how to use it (which was daunting and required a LOT of cursing).


• Made a pouch, though! It'll be a make-up bag and it looks really good...

And now I'm curled up with the dogs, hoping that my stomach will stop griping at me.

How are you guys?

My systems went down at work today, including the internet!

[mayqueen517.livejournal.com]

BOLLOCKS.

That fucking sucks. How long did it last?

[sparrowsverse.livejournal.com]

All day long. lol

IT implimented this script they wrote, they had approval from the higher up, but what it did was wipe out all of the usernames and passwords.

If you tried to rebooted your computer then you were just logged out and couldn't get back in at all. I didn't try that at all and was still logged into some systems that were on a different server, including an old DOS system.

And of course the phones worked. :D

Oh my god, I'd throw something at people, I think.

The guest speaker today was nice, but there were a couple of kids behind me who decided they were going to laugh? Because they're assholes, mostly, and I thought my teacher was going to drag them out by their ears.

I just answered phones and worked with DOS. People kept chatting around my desk tho, like it's the water cooler area.

The teacher should've done that, then someone should've filmed it. :D

The teacher eventually came up and sat between all four of them and it was kind of hilarious because they just went DEAD SILENT.

[sparrowsverse.livejournal.com]

LOL, that sounds awesome. :D

[mayqueen517.livejournal.com]

It was, honestly.

Anyways, now I'm curled up in bed and praying that my stomach is going to stop going all HULK SMASH at some point tonight. Because eurgh. (Also, if I end up dehydrated, I'm gonna have to drink Pedialyte and that shit makes me gag. *shudder*)

*pets* that sucks. I hope you feel better!

[mayqueen517.livejournal.com]

I swear, I can spend over a year with snotty kids and rarely get the sniffles....but if a stomach bug goes around, I am DOWN FOR THE COUNT.

[sparrowsverse.livejournal.com]

Stomach bugs suck. I've always had stomach issues and it's sucks. :(

*wraps you in blankets, gives you a mug of tea and offers a random bandom/comic/movie person to cuddle*
