fresh hell

What a fucking day. I would say I want a do-over, but I don't have the energy to do this one over.

Tomorrow, no one's allowed to call me to break up their arguments. No one's allowed to suspect they've had a heart attack. No one's allowed to tell me no, or be mean to me in any way. Is. That. Understood?

( details for people who have just said MEEP! really loudly; the rest of you can skip it. No one had a heart attack. )

(no subject)

And now for the really good stuff today, because really, there is always good stuff:

1) The homeowner gave someotherguy a check for $50 because he replaced the faucet instead of making her get someone in. She said she would've paid her normal handyman $50 for an hour of his time, so that was great. We went and spent half of it on groceries. Yay, groceries!

2) someotherguy is amazing and apparently still loves me even though I woke him at 9am with angsty phone conversations with my mother and nephew, and spent the rest of the day using him for stressball relief.

3) I go in on Friday to do the paperwork and stuff for the new job, and I've read up on what to do about 401(k) stuff and everything. (Actually, it's 403(b) or something, because it's a public university, but yeah, no-load mutual funds, maximum employee contribution, etc.)

4) I had a really nice dim sum date the other day with bastette_joyce, and while we were chatting about insurance and stuff, it dawned on me that I can put wtfpotatoes on my health insurance and take her off Medical. That makes me SO happy!

5) We have a new faucet! Three days without a working kitchen sink was making me grumpy in the extreme.

6) Six weeks with wtfpotatoes, and I'm still liking having her around. I think she might feel rejected because I need a fair bit of time to myself, but we're getting along really well, and there's only been one serious incident of her not getting along with someone in the family, and that worked out fine. Even if she didn't like "Juno" at all. :-)
