What Would Jen Do

Archive for October, 2009

as of right this very second i might be sick. or it might be some srs allergies.  i’m hoping it’s allergies.   either way i am drugged the eff up right now and nothing is helping.  my nose is killing me, someone bring me lotiony tissues.

Icey was away all weekend doing some techy geek type stuff.  the last time he was gone it was for a week, but it was during the week and i had work to keep me occupied.  this time it was a weekend, the only time I really spend with him and i was SO SAD he was gone.  But now he’s back and he’s upstairs and i’m downstairs and we’re emailing each other, so it’s all good.

this morning i baked him oatmeal blueberry (instead of raisin) cookies, his idea.  and they are tasty.   i’m pretty sure than anything you would put into your breakfast oatmeal can transfer into a cookie.

this week will be a busy one. I have two doctors appts and on thursday we’re getting a new meter put on the house.  the one we had apparently pulled away from the house and blah blah blah it wasn’t working so we’re going to have to repair that ourselves. i assumed since the meter belonged to the electric company they’d put a new one on but that is so not the case.   you buy the meter when you buy the house.  (i would choose not to buy a new meter because i don’t want one) so then, $2800 later we’re getting that taken care of on Thurs.

and do not even get me started on SRP and their top notch billing system.   Surepay’s advantage is that you will know what you are paying each month.  unless you are us, then some months you’ll pay one amount and then other months you’ll pay some new random amount.   and also if you are us then one day your surepay will quadruple to $550 per month as if you live in a mansion and then they’ll charge you that TWICE in the span of 13 days.   because you know, i have $4000 to drop on srp in one month.    you don’t like your cable or phone company you can switch, but you have one option for electricity and that blows.   anyway, it should all be taken care of now.  don’t even get me started on the fact that they took $1100 from me in THIRTEEN DAYS.

again. odd year.

as of 9:20 yesterday I am on staycation.  My only plan so far is to have a massage on Tuesday, which will be free for me thanks to my husband.  I’m going to try and not spend 24/7 on the couch watching tv and playing poker on the computer.    I’ve been too lazy to actually clean lately so I need to get on that.

There are a lot of possible and also some definite changes happening soon.  With home, work and life.   I’m gearing up for some of it, not looking forward to others, anxious about some and finally feeling a bit of optimism.  I really do hate odd years, and i’m sure it’s just a coincidence but every odd year a bunch of weird, annoying or stupid things happen and they are THE WORST YEARS EVER.  my 2008 was awesome, 2007 was meh.  2010 is hopefully going to be great.  at least it better be.

We went and saw Zombieland yesterday.   I think I have been waiting 6 months for that movie to come out and years for another zombie movie in general. I can’t be sure but I think the last zombie movie I saw in theaters was 28 weeks later, which was a great movie.    Zombieland was good but I think it needed more Zombie time.  I wouldn’t say no to watching it again tho.

Friday night our neighbors invited us out for some sushi.  sushi + me  = yes.  I literally ate a boat load of sushi. I didn’t know that it was going to come out in a BOAT, but I can’t say that I was disappointed.

my week long staycation is just a few days away. I need to get thru 95% of this upcoming work week and then I’m on staycation.   95% because I’ve taken a half day this Friday.    I don’t have any real plans yet, but I think I might need to book a massage courtesy of the spa gift certificate I got from my husband for my birthday 2 months ago.  I don’t handle stress very well, at least physically and my whole body is starting to ache again.   The headaches are back and the laziness is at an all time high.   this vacation is coming up just in time.
