All Things Woompty

And also, I'm buying more shoes this week

So. The Procedure went well and Kevin's fine. He suffered from a dull ache all weekend and it seems to have really been not that big a deal, just like everyone said. We did, however, discover that jock straps are hee-larious looking. When I told my friend Freckles that jock straps are funny, she asked me if they were like G-strings. No, they are not. As I told her, they greatly resemble butless chaps, only without legs, just straps. And they are hee-larious.

I am freakin' exhausted, people. We've had 6 new people start in the past two weeks, and everyone and their imaginary friends suddenly needed to book travel this week. People who have never traveled before and may never travel again needed to travel this week, including a guy who told me on monday that he needed to leave on...Monday night. I cannot wait for the other admin to come back next week. I have no idea how she covered my desk for me while I was on disability for 6 weeks, because 3 weeks was enough for me. Although really, it's been more like 5 weeks since she was gone for 10 days before that. So I guess I do know how she did it....very tiredly.

Anyway, everyone's been very patient and nice about asking for stuff but I am really ready to hand them all back to her on Monday and go back to my nice boring usual workload. My brain hurts from trying to keep all of it straight.

At least I have nice things to look forward too, like brunch with my friends to celebrate my birthday on Sunday. My birthday is actually on Saturday, but I pretty much hate celebrating it on my actual birthday because Cinco de Mayo in San Diego is a fucking ZOO, especially if it falls on a weekend. Because Cinco de Mayo + Saturday = thousands of people drinking ALL DAMN DAY and causing crowded restaurants and bad parking situations and a plethora of cops. So my actual birthday will isntead be celebrated quietly, at my mom's house, where I will eat corn on the cob and birthday pie. And my friends can come have a rowdy brunch with me on Sunday instead.

I also have a little vacation to look forward to, which I probably can't afford since I just dropped $558 on more car repairs today. But fuck it, I need the damn vacation. Besides, maybe my permanent disability check will show up and then I will be able to afford the vacation that I totally fucking need right now.

In other news, the other day on my way to work I realized that I was wearing at least a few thousand dollars worth of jewelery that Kevin had given me (the latest addition being a gorgeous champagne diamond ring I got for our anniversary) and I realized I'm pretty fuckin' spoiled.

As Gene Simmons would say, it's good to be me.
