Thursday

So work was insane today. Since 4th of July is coming, everyone from Illinois is up in the Dells visiting. For some reason the front desk scheduled 3 girls to work the front desk (there are 14 computer stations for front desk associates to check people in) on the day before a holiday weekend with about 575 check ins. It was insane. There were people from group sales, reservations and corporate at the front desk checking people in. And of course I was there as well checking people in. I was not at work yesterday, so I had the 43 messages from yesterday to contend with as well as the calls from today, which were up to 27 at my last count at 3 when I had to leave. I only had 6 hours to work today, I offered to stay longer and help out but there was no budget for that. So tomorrow should be just a wonderful day too, I have so much shit to do, but thankfully I have 7 hours to do it tomorrow. Yay.

Stan's been in the bed all day today which I am pleasantly surprised about. He is in a lot of pain, and that's not good, but he's actually taking it easy and resting which is good. He's usually such a hard head he is doing too much after this kind of thing...so this tells me that he must really hurt to stay in bed all day. I tried to set him up with enough food & drinks by the bed when I left for work, and I made sure the dog was walked too. Mr. Ito was very good and did not poop up or pee up the house while I was gone. When I got home we went to the farmer's market up the way and he got a bone for being so good. He loves going to the farmer's market. I had no money for anything else but he did deserve the bone.

Oh and on the money front, my landlord just called and let us know that since we finally got all the receipts together from the home repairs we did before and since we've moved in, we can have another free month of rent! When we signed the lease we estimated that we would spend enough $ in repairs that we could get one and one half month's of rent in repair money. Well we went way over that, and weren't going to send those receipts in, since we had already agreed to one & 1/2 months. Well he kept asking for more reciepts so Stan sent him everything and he called today saying that since we spent so much on his property, he would give us another month free and then some $$$ off the next month as well. How's that for non-stick! Yay! He wanted to return the checks that we just sent, but Stan told him to keep it and we'll just have a credit with him. This will be great to catch up on utilities! And maybe get a washer & dryer??? That would be the shit, I am getting sick of doing wash in the bathtub.

So all in all today was a rockin kick ass day. Hope yours was too.

Wednesday

So I had to get up at 430 this morning to get up & ready to have Stan at the hospital for his surgery at 630. Ugh. I hate getting up that early.

Well we made it on time and he had his surgery and it went well thank God and he's hernia free. He doesn't know if he has a belly button or not, and he won't peek under the bandages to see. He wants to wait until he is allowed to take off the bandages. He called me a joy-kill and said I had no patience when I told him I wanted to peek now. Oh well, I don't have any patience and I don't see the whole fun of waiting to see something you want to see now. But hey different strokes for different folks so we will wait. He is in a lot of pain, more as the day goes on, the doctor gave him Vicodin which he already takes in addition to his Kadian for pain. So he will probably be in a lot of pain due to just having more pain stimuli and the same pain killers. I'm sure he'll be fine but I just worry, and I am so glad he's okay. I was a mess the whole time he was in the OR (over an hour), and his doctor was supposed to come talk to me afterwards, but noooo he didn't. :(

That's about it for me. I was going to make a chicken dinner tonight but Stan does not want it, he probably isn't that hungry. He ate a hot lean pocket for a snack and I think that will do it. Oh well I was kinda stoked for a pick chicken, but hey I'm also lazy and if he doesn't want it, who am I to complain? Oh and a pick chicken is a whole chicken that you bake & throw in the fridge and pick at. I love cold chicken about 20x more than I like hot chicken so pick chicken to me is delicious.

Happy day! :)

Tuesday!

Another swamped busy day at work. It was madness and I had to do something I hate to do which is leave before everything that was thrown at me today was completed. But, we are having a budge crunch and I can't go over my hours. Plus, tomorrow I am not going in, at least not for a full day, most likely not at all. Stan's having abdominal surgery tomorrow and I need to drive him there and back, and then probably stay home and help him out because I'm sure he'll be in some pain. I'm very worried about the surgery, but I can't wait to see how cute his belly will be after it's over!

I wanted to buy steaks for dinner tonight but I just don't have the money to do so. Urgh. Oh well. Whatcha gonna do? Foodbank mac & cheese will have to do. Rent is due again...arrgh! How does this happen so quickly, these months just jet by before you know it.

I'm 100% hooked on the show True Blood. I'm so stoked about season 3. I think I have a tv crush on Vampire Bill and I don't know why. His head is shaped like a shoebox. I think it's the whole southern charm thing, because he has tiny ratlike eyes and a box head. So it must be his tv personna. LOL Tv crushes make me laugh.

Well I'm off to watch some TV and relax since I just took my medicine and I can do that afterwards. I've been having some weird ass dreams lately. Plus I have to have Stan to the hospital down in Baraboo by six thirty in the morning. EW. So fucking early! Bleh.

Monday

So yes it is Monday. I was busy at work because apparently people don't realize that business days are M-F and that does not include Sat & Sun. I got a message from this angry woman all kinds of indignant over the fact that she couldn't BELIEVE that I wasn't in on Saturday at 7:42PM. HOW DARE I?

So after I called back all forty eight messages, taught morons how to add and subtract, before I knew it, it was already time to go. I go out and of course my car won't start. I called Stan who made his 2nd out of 3 trips to the Dells. First was to take Heather back to the PD so she could "add to her statement", and 3rd to go to the Doctor to get scheduled for his surgery on 7/1/09.

So now I feel like doing absolutely nothing. I'm watching TV and watching Heather eat everything we have in the house and bitch that it's not enough and that the selection sucks. Her Dad has not yet told her that she's going to be paying rent since she treats this place as a flophouse and does whatever she pleases. $25 a week sounds fair, she needs to start working rather than laying around the house eating everything. I really detest her. I cannot wait until she is no longer here. She's so gross, she's not changed her bed since we moved, she's not done laundry...and before anyone says oh you're terrible you should do it for her, NO I SHOULDN'T. She's almost seventeen, if she can't do it herself now, what's the point of me doing it for her other than enabling her laziness? Seriously. The time for "oh poor little Heather" has come & gone. Buck up and pull your own weight. I don't have money for the laundromat, I have to wash clothes in the bathtub, and it sucks but I have clean underpants, and that's the bottom line. We have soap, we have softener, the only missing ingredient is desire and drive. They've been long missing from her personality.

I'm done talking about her until she gets arrested again, or leaves, just imagine her laying around like the lady of leisure she is, eating all the food, stealing my medicine and money, and bitching because it's "not enough". It never is. We never are good enough for the princess. I'm tired of caring and trying.
