This, That, The Other
In non root-canal news (though it dominates my thoughts of course and thus my journal), it's been a quasi-busy week.

Monday I went in to the temp job to help out J. with some organization. Normally, I cover for K. when I go in. I was supposed to go back in on Wednesday for another couple hours but they cancelled. Poo. Oh well, I did get eight hours out of it so that helps.

J. also gave me a nice surprise. A group of them bought tickets to the Cirque du Soleil show, Varekai, currently playing in St. Pete. Well, J. isn't going to go. So she gave me her ticket. Just gave it to me! Sadly, this means I have only the one and Love can't go but K. and another lady, L. invited me to go with them. I'm excited and nervous. It's sad that I can't see it with Love. And I'm really getting my social anxiety thing about going with people I barely know. But...it's Cirque and she just gave me her $60 ticket for free, so I'm also really excited.

Tuesday I hung out with my mom. She wanted to get me one more thing for xmas and I told her I needed a pair of jeans. Hours later and a dozen stores later, I finally found a pair. No one had any, let alone ones that didn't fit. (Which is the norm for me. Jeans and I don't get along very well.) Found a pair at Express that I'm calling my, "rock star jeans." They fit SO amazingly, I feel ultra cool just wearing them. To show the absurdity in sizing and the lack of uniformity, the ones that fit? Size 2 short. Two! Even I don't wear that small normally. Most of my jeans are more size 5ish. I've even have a 7 in the past due to weird cutting. (Then again, I have a pair of capris I got from Gap last year that are a 4 I think.) You just never know what the size on the tag actually means. It blew my mind though how well they fit. Jeans don't ever fit. The funny thing is that I tried on other 2/short in a few other styles/colors and none of them fit the way the pair I ended up getting did. So even in the same company, the size is different. And the 2/regular? Was way too gappy. Damned weird sizing.

Wednesday I was supposed to go in for a half day but they cancelled. I know it's because the CEO got cranky I was there all day Monday. He just has this firm thing against bringing anyone else in - even temporarily - to help them. Anytime I'm there, he's like, "Oh, I didn't know you were coming in today..." in that snarky way that says he'll be polite to my face but is mad about "wasting" money. He doesn't see how slammed busy K. and J. are nor how far behind they get because they keep things running. You know how it is. If you've ever done the Admin/secretary/assistant thing you understand exactly what I mean.

Turns out it was probably a good thing. My cold - today on day 15 - was really kicking my butt yesterday. Lots of coughing. And I ended up getting a migraine later in the day. With being sick and taking so many other things for that, I've just basically forgotten to take my feverfew for the last two weeks. Ugh. So my first migraine in over two months reminded me how much the feverfew helps and how I'm NOT going to forget to take it again! Heh.

We finished watching season 1 dvd's for Lost last night. Now I'm trying to get my hands on the first nine episodes of season 2 so I can get caught up. Heh. Stupid show. It's addictive. And with EVERYONE talking about it, it's impossible not to read spoilers all the time.

Tonight we're going to get to see our first hockey game of the season! Rand's company has season tickets that they give to the employees and he's got the ones for tonight! Yeah! It's been far too long since I've gotten to see a game in person. What with the whole entire-season-lost thing last year. Nothing like hockey. And especially free hockey! I am SO wearing my new rock star jeans. Heh.

Still have very little voice. Still sick of this cold that will not die. Still worried that it's turning into bronchitis and that I need antibiotics, but...what can you do? No health insurance means no doctor visit.

Got out a big batch of holiday cards last week so everyone should be getting theirs. If you still want one but didn't give me your address yet - even if you gave it to me last year, you need to give it to me again! - this is your final call. Go HERE and post it. It's screened so no one else will see it.

Alright, out for now.
