Posted a day late

I originally wrote this entry yesterday, but didn't end up posting it. So I'm posting it now:

Something I forgot that happened Wednesday that added to my stress happened while I was filling yogurt. Remember a while back I was complaining about this fat woman who's a regular customer who bought a ton of carb masters yogurt? She was back. I had my wheeler of yogurt out and we looked on it, no cases of the carb master strawberry banana. So she says, "Well, I'll just take them off the shelf." and she proceeded to take every last one of them. Which made me out of stock. She knew she was making me out of stock. She already had a case of the vanilla and a few cups of other flavors. I see this woman in the store often enough, how much yogurt can she possibly eat within the next few days before she comes shopping again? Can't she leave a few behind for other customers seeing as she isn't the only person on the planet who likes that yogurt?

So anyway, yesterday Victor woke up with me cause he just couldn't sleep. Which meant we got going around 8:30-9:00. We went to work where I did my orders and left Dustin a note telling him to do markdowns. My schedule is awesome for next week. I get Sunday off because Dustin wanted next Saturday off. Which means I get a three day weekend. Sure I have to work on Saturday but for some reason Zhaun gave me a morning shift and scheduled John for an evening shift. Weird. But great. I have mostly morning shifts next week.

I asked Dee to put me in a personal day for Saturday and she asked how many hours I had. I had, I dunno, 34, maybe? And she said that's probably too many but that she'd put it in anyway. The worst that can happen is that it will be kicked out and I'd still have 3 days to try and dispose of.

We went shopping while at work. Got mega even items, two of which I had coupons for. Got some cheese which I had a coupon for. Some meat for a pizza. Milk. Soda. And while I was getting the milk and soda I sent Victor back to get broccoli cause I'd forgotten, and when I got over there I could tell his lack of sleep was getting to him. He was standing there holding the broccoli just staring at it. He said he was trying to figure out how much I wanted. So while I was over there I got some apples. Now, I had a 19.00 off coupon work sent me (they send you coupons for so much money off your order every few months and I haven't quite determined how they figure how much to send you, but every time it's a different amount, maybe it's based on how much money you spend there over the course of two or three months?) so I used that. I had a 3.00 off coupon from the last time I'd bought mega event items. So all my coupons together meant I had to pay 1.25 for all that stuff. Niiice!

Then it was off to Wal-Mart. I needed deodorant so I found some that's flavored with Honeysuckle and Tea Tree Oil. Smells great to me. We also needed mouth wash and toilet bowl cleaner and I found some sewing markdowns I got, and of course I needed more reese's easter eggs.

While we were there we got a sandwich from Subway because Victor hadn't eaten yet and I was hungry again.

Victor was so sleepy and tired he wasn't even silly in the checkout. Normally he does his best to embarrass me when we're in the checkout cause he gets bored. It felt weird and I actually almost missed it.

Once home Victor played with his Intellivison, which has been moved into the livingroom. After a bit of that he went to take a nap. While he napped I played some Sims until I got motion sick and got up to go clean. I cleaned up the table by the door and some of the floor behind it. I had started on the couch area when I realized it was time to wake Victor up.

I then made us a tuna helper which had expired on the 19th, but we figured it was still good. It turned out... ok, I guess. It was very bland and more brown than it should be. We tried putting cheese on it but that didn't help much. I guess a week makes that much difference. Not sure how a tuna helper expired though, we eat that regularly enough. Maybe poor rotation. I know we favor the fettuccine alfredo over the creamy parmesan so that might have had something to do with it too.

With dinner lately we've been watching My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. It's the new animation style, which we had both agreed was hideous when we saw the figures in the store. But, as with most "updated animation" tv shows, you get used to it. And sometimes it's even kinda cute. Apparently due to licensing and copyright issues they had to swap some personalities amongst the ponies. Which is a bit amusing, but you get used to it. I like this series so far. I wouldn't say it's better than the others but it's not bad, I am enjoying it. The friendship thing is sometimes a bit much, though, I tend to take Rimmer's view of friendship. But, it's still sweet.

After dinner I looked around for a new crochet stitch to try. And I found a herringbone stitch that looked fun so I did two rows of it. I had been doing half double stitches. So I showed Victor what I had so far and asked if he preferred the hdc or the herringbone. He was like, "...there's a difference???" Upon closer inspection he saw the difference and was indifferent about it. He said when he's wearing it he isn't going to care what stitch it is. *sigh* Men. We finally decided that since he likes chaos I would make it out of a variety of stitches. So it'll probably end up looking like a really long sampler. I do intend to try a pattern with it, though, so when it's half as long as he'd like I'll start going back the way I came. Like if it was half done now I'd do two more rows of herringbone then go back to the hdc. And so far I'm keeping it pretty straight, there's a tad bit of a womple to the sides but it's not so very noticeable as my last attempt. I took some pictures but remembered my gaming controller was hooked into the usb for when I play Burnout and I don't feel like unplugging it to put my camera cord back in. The ports on the front of my computer don't work or I'd use those, and all the ports on the back are taken up with my mouse, keyboard, and something else. Printer I think.

I wound up going to bed around 8:30 and probably didn't get to sleep until 9ish. At some point in the morning Bonecrusher came to wake me up. He's been doing that a lot because he's a good kitty. But he's been waking me up earlier than I'd prefer (4:30 one day, 5:30 another) so I went back to sleep. A while later he came back and tried to wake me up again and I figured it was time to get up but before I could manage it I fell back asleep. I woke up on my own around 7:50. 0_0 I slept about 11 hours last night!!! I guess I needed it because my head feels weird. I think I'm... well rested? My eyes feel a bit weird, maybe they're just dry, though. I don't have the usual daily mild headache. I might feel a little weird in the head from sleeping 11 hours, but who wouldn't? Wow.

I don't have any real plans for today other than to clean some more and maybe pack a little. The markdown sewing stuff I bought yesterday filled up the rest of the box of sewing stuff so I taped and labeled it. We're going to have pizza one day and chicken penne the other. Not sure which we'll do today. Probably the pizza so the meat we bought for it doesn't go bad since I stuck it in the fridge and not the freezer. The broccoli can wait till tomorrow. And I feel more like pizza today anyway.

Oh, and whatever was afflicting my arms stopped yesterday. They were still a bit sore but not in any pain.
