oh self, you are neurotic
Oct. 17th, 2017 07:41 amGrrr. Some people hate Mondays. I have come to loathe Tuesdays. I wind up super stressed, either because of work starting and not being sure how the week will go (stop it, self) or someone will have made the grave mistake to have made weekend plans with me and come Tuesday it's less than a week to go until I either fold like a house of cards or suck it up and go, hopefully to have fun but there are no guarantees.
Ari's birthday is tomorrow and to celebrate her family is going to Myrtle Beach for dinner on Sunday. I'm not sure if they picked Sunday as a day they knew I don't have to work and thus I could totally go or if the prices will be better or what. But yeah, my bills are looking to shake down to either I could juuuuuuuuuuuuuuust maybe swing this but really shouldn't or it'll land squarely in the "hahaha, no" section. Sigh. Which I could probably figure out better if I happened to be familiar with whatever the destination is. Knowing it's a place with all you can eat crab legs isn't really helpful since uh, hello? It's MB.
But there's also the having to be in a car with people for hours and seafood does one of two things to me: nothing at all, ha! Joke's on you! or it tries to murder me. I also don't really like a lot of it because I grew up in a time when Fridays were for fish. Granted this was mostly fishsticks at school (which I never intentionally ate after the first incident) and whatever Mums made for dinner that I occasionally actually want nowadays, but the smell gives me flashbacks. Flaaaaaaaashbacks. But Ari.
I wonder if Cass is going. I should've asked when I sent her my email this morning about her vow renewal.
Basically it boils down to me being a very broke (as I always am starting in September) introvert who is not looking forward to hours in a car with anyone both ways. Plus I can pretty much guarentee I will either fall asleep or be so sleep deprived by the end of the trip that I will be out of my mind.
Fun bonus of there being family stuff I probably shouldn't know but do and it's just exhausting.
In other news, the weather has finally gotten the memo that it's October and it's downright chilly this morning! Last night I walked around looking for Halloween decorations and found the one house I set out to see (I knew they'd decorated already- I just wanted to see the lights in action) and another condo that had lights. Found other decorated houses but none really had lights done up. To be fair, you can't really see most of ours and I really need to change the batteries in my lantern but I was basically counting anyone who even went vaguely fall/autumn. I found ten places. Woe. But the chill in the air is a definite plus. :D
Irked that despite me paying the water bill more than ten days ago, it's still showing as pending on my CC bill and I'm at that weird in between bills stage on the water bill front so I can't just poke the water site and say, "oi, did they pay you or not?" It's showing I made a payment when I did but I get nervous when I can't tell if it's actually gone through or it's just... noting an attempt was made, k?
Went on a mini book request binge at the library's site. Think it's time to curl up and nap for a bit.
