It is so hard

to get motivated, stay motivated, and then be happy with the big mess that is a partially finished organised house...

I was very motivated, but apparently life didn't seem to notice, or care, that I wanted to get it all done.

On the first of my two days off, Life threw at me The Challenges of Chris's Job. Also known as more b.s. for him to deal with. Whilst getting ready to do some running around, he got a phone call from another manager saying he needed his help to round up a bunch of portable dvd players from all of the other store within the city (and Sherwood Park), for a big sale that needed the product by that evening.

To be exactish, it was 44 portable dvd players, a $10700.00 sale.

Chris being Chris, and his job being what it is, he was forced to oblige, and so we went all over the East side, picking up handfuls of them. We then delivered them to the place where the customer was waiting, at an ad agency that had a client that was going to give them out as safety awards!!!

Remind me to find out if my company does that. And if not, maybe find out which company paid for these...

ANY way, we then had a bunch of running around to do, for my dead car... Got it towed, and the tow truck driver, who was an ex-mechanic, checked it out a little bit, and said he thought the engine was seized. He figured it would be a waste of money to bring it to Cnanadian Tire, but seeing as how it wasn't our decision anymore, we did it anyway.

CT said the same thing: seized. So we then got estimates for used, and rebuilt motors, and labour, and let Chris's Dad know, and he decided to go with the used motor, only 110 km.

I am glad that the car will be useful to someone now. I was going to sell it or junk it soon anyway.

I just hope after all of this that it will pass inspection in Saskatchewan.

Back to my original thought: I was destracted by a lot of little things from getting my place cleaned the first of my two days off, and the second was better, but not great.

I got a lot of stuff done, and sorted a lot, but still have to find time to 'finesse' the place up. Get rid of recyclable stuff (It's so great to live near a recycling center, if you can call a row of dumpsters that.), pack away more stuff to be stored, pack up more stuff to be given away, find room to store temporarily all of the stuff I can't throw out.

And I have amountain of laundry to finish putting away!!!

TOO. MUCH. CAN'T SLEEP!

ARGGGH!!!

:) just kidding, it's not that bad, I just get frustrated easily with some things: cleaning house, laundry, exercise, weight management...


So I am very VERY undecided about how I feel about, and whether or not I like my new job.

OOh, sirens. I wonder where the fire, or accident is?

I don't hear those nightly, no, not at all...

It's actually worse than downtown here for sirens, but we live only three blocks from the police station, and very close to major routes, and intersections, so I can't say I am overly shocked.

OH CRAP!!!

I just realized I haven't done my taxes yet. Oopsy.

Need to get list of prescriptions from SDM, so I can figure out how much more the government owes me...

Gonna go now, need to get some sleep for my early shift tomorrow, after which I will be helping Chris with his inventory... 1,2,3,4. 4 of those... 1,2. 2 of those... It'll be great!

I like counting. I am one of the few people who look forward to inventory...

Yes, yes, I am weird, thanks for noticing...
