YAY! I slept in this morning. After everything I did yesterday I needed it. Today is a client holiday and I am taking the time for myself. My bosses can kiss my ass. I am going to the food show today. One of my friends from the old area got me a pass and I am taking the train into the city in a few hours, wandering the food show (industry only!) and relaxing today. Fun!
Yesterday I worked non-stop until almost 11pm. I got up, started finishing up my room by putting contact paper in the nightstand I refinished, then went through all the junk that was in the nightstand and cleaned out the garbage. Around noon, my friend came over to take me to IKEA with his truck. I can't remember if I mentioned this, but I sold him the desk in the kids room. He wanted to know how much and I told him I wasn't being greedy - I wanted enough to get my new bed frame and a new desk for the kid. What I was looking at was $150 plus tax. Whatever the total came to was what he owed me. He agreed. We headed off to IKEA and while we were looking at the desks for the kid, he asked if a different one would be better for her. I said yes, but it's $30 more. He said he would pay the difference because it was a better desk for the kid. Nice. The total came to $195 with tax for the new frame and the desk. I bought him lunch at Taco Bell so in the end, I got $190 for the desk, the kid got a new one, and I got a new bed. By the time we got back home and had the desk unloaded at his place and the new stuff at mine, it was 3:30. I then spent the next six hours assembling stuff, cleaning, moving, etc. My room is 100% complete and I LOVE IT. I am so happy!! I got new sheets and comforter at target the other day and my room is bright, cheery, and clean. I am so happy!! It's probably why I slept so well last night. The kids room still needs a little work, but it is functional for right now. Depending on how I feel, I will do some more in there tonight. But it was a long day. On top of it, I had my requisite emails from our directors on how shitty everything was Saturday. I tuned all of those out by midday. Late last night they sent out an email talking about how stressed everyone is and how we could all use a break so 'let's get together next saturday to drink!'. No. I want a weekend AWAY from you guys. I already have a rehearsal next Sunday, I would like to not see you Saturday too. Sorry, but this guy wants some alone time. Weird huh?
Anyway, off to look at food!
