Happy Toosday!
It’s a chilly 43 degrees with a projected high of 56.
I am tired and overwhelmed. Too much going on but none of it good or exciting.
Yesterday I woke up frigid because I didn’t close my bedroom window, and I was too tired to get up and close it.
Piddle pup was a mess to watch. She peed in the house 4 times in front of me between 4 and 11 and that wasn’t counting all the times I put her out.
The other dogs and cat at the other house were good for me.
So yesterday I felt like a zombie, but I still picked up a friend and rode out to Hagerstown to see a house. Yesterday was the only day I had time to see it and it was a foreclosure. It’s open to offers from Investors on Thursday and at the price I figure it won’t be on the market for long. I pulled up in front of the house and had an email from the mortgage broker that I didn’t qualify for the loan - sucks - so I didn’t even bother to go in. The broker said to call back in January so I guess I am just damn stuck until then.
However the scenery was beautiful, I always have fun with my friend and she bought my lunch. We are both what some people would kindly call ‘dizzy’, so we understand each other perfectly.
I said I wanted to go to a sit down place where we get waited on (before she offered to pay) and I wanted to try the restaurant next to IHOP. We walk in and it’s a buffet, but I was so tired and hungry I said let’s just eat here. So she said she’d pay and it was $13 for the two of us! The food was pretty good for a buffet, lots of good fresh veggies, light on meats. They were setting up dinner as we were leaving and they had a huge ham and roast sitting out.
This morning I woke up miserable hot, I can’t win, window open and freeze or window closed and roast.
I start a big pet sitting job today. I’ll be spending the night and as much time there as possible because their dog is getting old. I’d call her piddle pup II except she weighs 120 pounds and piddle is an understatement. Fortunately she is not losing her mind yet and will ask to go outside instead of going out, coming in and peeing on the carpet. Her owner said she left lots of towels for me and I can use the washer if I need to. The dryer is broken so I’ll have to hang to towels up.
Sometime today I have to get all my laundry done, now I regret going out to lunch instead of doing laundry last week. I have work to do, last week’s pay sucked because I missed time for my ear infection. This Friday’s pay will be sucky as well because I didn’t work enough hours last week. This week is going to be hard because of all the pet sitting. I can use my cell phone but it’s hard to work when the dogs won’t lay down and leave me alone. I’ll see how it goes.
It’s pizza day today as well, and Sah-son has his last driving lesson with the school tomorrow - so I have to fit that in as well. We haven’t been driving at all which probably won’t make the school happy. At least he will probably finish my laundry for me. He’s such a good son.
The check engine light is on in my truck and there is no way I can put it in the shop because I have too much pet sitting/driving to do until Monday. I can’t borrow my mother’s car because my niece has had it since May? when her car got totaled. I got onStar to run a diagnostic and it’s something with the exhaust system. They said if the light doesn’t go out after 7 more startups to get it checked. I did 4 of them yesterday. I checked the gas cap and filled the gas tank and light is still on. I have to put the truck in the shop too because some asshole keyed it. At least insurance will cover that with no deductible.
I can’t borrow my mother’s car because my niece has had it since May? when her car got totaled. My mother keeps bitching to me that she wants her car back like I’m supposed to do something about it. I want her to get her car back so I can borrow it for a few days.
Even when my sister was in Europe my niece drove my mother’s car because my sister won’t let her daughters drive* her* car. Nobody is allowed to drive her precious car. :rolleyes:
Maybe I’ll just rent a car.
