Can't cut a break... aka trip prep
I am utterly exhausted! I've been going all day, and barely have had enought time to breathe.
So, with out further delay... Stef's day so far:
10:30am: wake up, watch American's Test Kitchen, read paper, get mail. I think I ate breakfast. I don't remember.
11:45am: Went over to the cleaners to see if I could possible get my suits today, as the girl who took them told me a couple of times that yes, they would be ready Saturday.
I get there and there is this older woman who told me that the plant where the clothes are sent to be cleaned doesn't make deliveries again until MONDAY! I explain what I had been told, and the woman apologized, that I would not be able to get my clothes today. For my being inconvenienced, I get a coupon for 10% my next order! That doesn't help me now! Apparently, the girl who helped me yesterday has only been there a couple of weeks and had been told that there were no deliveries on Saturdays.
12:05pm: Go home, tell Mom of this revolting development, then go out and spend three hours trying to find an outfit to wear for my interview. Finally, after visits to four stores, I found a plum colored sweater and a pair of black slacks.
4:00pm (or thereabouts): Jeff and I go to WalMart to get a battery for the car. Mom agreed to pay for it, as long as it was under $40. Jeff installs the battery and recycles the old one.
5:15pm: Daniel calls my cell phone and tells me that he's going to meet me so we can get the stuff for the oil change.
5:30pm: We decided to see if we could get the oil changed at JiffyLube, but they were closed. We then went to Firestone, and they were so rude we left in disgust.
By this time, we decided that we were just going to put oil in the car and do the oil change when I got back from Missouri.
6:05pm: I filled up the gas tank (at $2.17 a gallon, it cost exactly $40.00), and Daniel bought oil. We went home, then I remembered that I had to mail some stuff for Mom and get her smokes. Daniel and I went to the post office, 7-11 and Hobby Lobby because Daniel was curious about the price of India ink.
7:00pm: we finally get home. Daniel put the oil in the van, then he left.
Since then, I've been packing, getting things together, looking up driving directions, and getting my head on straight.
But now, I'm hungry. I better eat something.
I probably won't post tomorrow before I leave.
And that's all from where I sit.
