Going to Miami today. Hellllooo South Beach! Too bad I have this presentation looming over my head. No. I didnt get it finished. Yes. Im stressed beyond belief. The last week at work have been filled with late nights at the office. Friday night, my counterpart and I were there until 11:00. I just happened to have a bottle of wine tucked away in a desk drawer (dont ask), and we were so desperate that we jammed the cork in and sucked that puppy dry!
And then yesterday. Valentines Day. I was there from 12:45 until 10:15 pm. I told myself not to get all bummed about it that I would simply gather all my materials to finish the thing, pack it all up and take it to Miami with me. So thats what I did. Grumble.
I was so drained and tired when I left last night. I had so much crap to haul upstairs into the apartment (workout stuff all packed up, the loot from a Target run, plus all my work stuff), so I was praying to the parking gods to find a good spot in front of my building when I got to my place. I found a little gem only ½ block away, so I pulled over the chunks of ice in the road and immediately got myself STUCK ¾s of the way in between two cars! I tried to pry myself out, but my tires were spinning and spinning! I was truly fucked.
There was a woman who was waiting to grab my spot (she thought I was leaving), and pulled up next to me. I knew I needed to get out early this morning (didnt want to risk being completely stuck in the morning) so I told her that I was going to find another spot and she could have this one. But I was seriously stuck between these cars! She tried to help guide me out, but my wheels were slipping, sliding and still spinning. After about fifteen minutes of futile attempts (and this poor woman was OUT of her car trying to direct me!), two guys came walking along and had to push me out of the spot!
I found a spot in the parking garage, and as I was struggling and stumbling around with a zillion pounds of crap on my back and in my arms, I started whimpering like a baby. I wanted to cry so badly, but the tears wouldnt come. I was too drained to even shed a tear.
Finally got into the building to find that the heat is off. I hope its because it warmed up a little during the day, but it didnt kick back on over night. With all the aches and pains this old building has, I hope to the heavens that the boiler isnt broken. I dont want my precious baby kitty to freeze while Im gone!
Slept fitfully, and now I have all of my packing to do before I go. Ill be back to finish this entry when Im done with all that crap
Back. Just waiting for the nails to dry and then Ill be outta here. Its freezing fricking cold in here. Im thinking about leaving the little space heater on so that the cat will have a place to curl up and stay warm. The sitter will be here tomorrow, and Ill just tell her to turn it off if the heats kicked back on. I hope its not a fire hazard, but its not even gonna get into the 30s today.
Ive packed my suitcase with tiny halters, super low rise capris, lace up wedges, flip-flops, and my new green (hot, hot color this year!) bikini. I dont care if Im white as a ghost Im headed for warmth!! Oh, and Nikki Beach tonight!
A couple of good morsels this week:
And with that, Im out.
