usmcsis's Diaryland Diary ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- long day i spent six hours at my grandma's house last night working in the dining room. cleaning, packing up, throwing away. six hours. i finished the dining room. one room. anyway, it's been a long day and i was really busy at work. actually, it was kind of a crappy day with one small exception. this one thing brightened my whole day. hell, my whole week. sad but true. my display case that holds the bottled drinks went out. the motor died overnight apparently and when i got to work this morning the temperature in it was up to seventy degrees. so we had to call in a work order and blah blah blah. basically you would think that this would be one of the crappy parts of my day. sadly enough, this was the highlight of my day. why? because the guy they sent out to fix it was hot. and not only was he hot, he was wearing a nicely broken in pair of jeans. and he spent the majority of the day on his hands and knees under my display case with his ass in the air. in those really nice jeans. my life is really sad. :P i found out today that brandon is alive and well. actually, i don't know if he's well or not but i do know that he isn't lying dead in a ditch somewhere and that makes me happy. we didn't actually have a conversation per say, i called him and he answered and i said, oh, you're alive. and he was like yeah i'm alive. i told him i had been worried about him because it was strange to go a whole week without hearing from him in some way and he said that it had been a strange week. he said he was on the other line and i said you know how to get in touch with me and hung up. whatever. i'm tired. i worked my ass off at the house last night. and i went back tonight with the intention of doing the living room but my aunt and uncle came over and i didn't get much done while they were there and then i was just too tired to do much else. i took a load of clothes with me so i could get some red shirts washed so i won't have to go topless to work tomorrow so basically i sat around and watched law and order and waited for them to dry so i could come home. i was hungry so i looked in grandma's cabinets and found a can of chili so i thought i'd heat that up so i wouldn't have to wait to eat when i got home. it took me twenty damn minutes to find the can opener. my cousin sam took the electric can opener with him the other day and i had to search everywhere to find the hand crank one. so i finally found it, found a bowl and put it in the microwave and the damn thing didn't work. i was pissed. the stupid microwave worked a week ago when missy and i reheated our leftover pizza for breakfast but for some reason tonight it didn't work. at that point i was too disgusted to do anything but throw the shit away. the chili, not the microwave. though i was tempted. so i'm tired now. i want to play the sims for a bit but i'm worried that if i do the next time i look up at the clock it'll be one in the morning and i have to have some sleep tonight. i think i might go to bed with this stupid book that i'm reading. i've been told by so many people that i should read some jennifer cruise books. so the bookstore had a big sale a few months ago, over the summer, for books to take on vacation and they were all four dollars and there were some jennifer cruise ones there so i bought three. biggest waste of twelve dollars i've ever seen. maybe it's just this one book. i'm trying to give her the benefit of the doubt. i'll probably read at least one of the others just to see if maybe she can do better, but i'm dubious to say the least. but with everything going on in my life right now, i can't handle reading anything more than fluff. i tried to read one of my new stephen king's and couldn't do it. i kept reading the same damn sentence over and over again. i tried to read odd thomas by dean koontz, which i have been wanting to read for over a year and couldn't do it. i haven't even been able to get past chapter twelve of incubus dreams and i've been waiting for that book for over two years! i just can't concentrate on anything. so i read fluff instead and i can't really bitch too much about it because it is fluff after all. the sad thing is that this story has such potential. it could have been a really great book. the characters are interesting but you never get to know enough about them. she eludes to all this stuff in their past and then never explains it. the character will say something like, oh yeah, that reminds me of when we were growing up. and then they move on to something else. what the hell? how does it remind them? why? it frustrates me. but beggars can't be choosers and i'm just happy that my brain is still functioning enough that i can remember how to read. so i'm heading out of here. i have to work tomorrow and i had originally planned to go work at the house again but i think i may take tomorrow off and just come home and veg out for a while. i think i burnt myself out all in one day. i was going to go catch up on all the diaries that updated today but i don't think i can handle that right now. i'll hit everyone tomorrow when i get home and then i can space them out over the evening. right now the mere thought of reading a dozen entries makes me tired. but i'm also thinking that i'm missing out if i don't read them. but no, i am putting my foot down and not allowing myself to do it. otherwise i will sit here for hours and not get to play the sims, not read my book, and most important, not go to bed. so, sorry i didn't read you today, i'll catch you tomorrow. toodles 9:40 pm - 08 Dec 2004 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
