37 days and counting down...

There are 37 days until the wedding and I feel completely unprepared. I'm having that whole I'm forgetting things feeling. Whether it's things in general or actually things that need to be done. I made a list of things that need to be done around the house before then and I have no idea how to get them all accomplished. It's gonna be insane for the next few weeks and I'm going to try not to get myself into too much trouble but I know that it's too late.

The sinus drainage kicked in the other night which means I'm on track to get strep throat which will make me unbearable until it's gone. Or it might be the fact that in all the chaos I haven't been able to clean the water bottle that I keep next to my bed. I'm betting on that being the culprit. It's too late now, I just need to start eating the yogurt in the fridge and maybe this will clear up before I kill anyone.

I finally got inventory done which has been the major thing keeping me from getting around to do blogging at work. We've hit the late winter lull. We survived the big freeze that had everyone in the state in a panic to cover pipes and plants. After all of that was finally repaired it's been good. There are still a few crazy bursts every once in awhile but they shouldn't start kicking back up until mid-March when people start needing to get out the mowers and the weedeaters. I've got one rider in the show that needs to be fixed. I should have that ready to go hopefully tomorrow if not Monday, which means once again that my shop will be completely done. Everything in there will be fixed and ready for pickup.

I wish I could say the same thing about the boards because they're starting to look like monstrous paper eating machines. I've got things that need to be looked at in the shop. I have more parts on backorder than I could ever imagine. Some with no eta, which makes me want to cry. Then there's the shelf of things that have been ordered which has fallen victim in the last few weeks to me stealing from there for new customers.

I'm not going to order a part that I've had sitting on the shelf because you said that you would come pick up 6 months ago. I keep the tickets in case someone decides that they really need it later on I can just reorder but at this point it looks pretty slim on that happening.

I ave to put two orders in today because it seems like right about the time I put an order in then someone comes in and wants one tiny thing and they want it asap.

Still looking for a teaching job but they're few and far between right now. I found one but I don't want to start this close to the wedding because then my head may actually explode and I go crazy psycho nuts on someone and ruin the chances of ever getting a job. But I'll be patient and wait and see what I can find a little closer to home.

We're still waiting for Swank to move out of the apartment so that they can get it cleaned up and then we can start trying to move in. Which is a whole 'nother story since furniture is few and far between at the moment. We have a couch, a tv, my furniture which I'm still using but will gladly start moving over there as soon as I can, and a bed sans mattress and box set. That's what we're waiting on. No point in hauling it to his place to have to haul it back and neither one of us have a place to store it yet.

gotta go, love ya!
