Today is Thursday, and I’m off work a few hours early because I had a "Dr.’s Appt." and ‘cough cough’ couldn’t stay all day. DAMN.
My nanny family (I’m a nanny, and they needed someone all summer with their kids, which I did….) was on vacation last week and had me ‘house-sit’ which they defined as me being there overnight, and watering the plants/getting the mail. So… it’s a big scary victorian in historic downtown Denver, and not the like, exquisite pretty ones you’re imagining, so I’m essentially scared as all freaking hell to sleep there alone and only do it 3 of the 7 nights, but still manage to spend between 2-4 hours there EVERY day just listening to music or whatever other random thing I feel like doing at the time. And they call the day they get back and tell me ‘the neighbors said they NEVER saw you here, what happened?!’ and just give me shit no matter what I tell them. My sister spent the night there with me twice, I brought other people over numerous times, I’ve got 3 friends who’ve been there with me, and they’re accusing me of never having been there. I’m pissed. I damn well better get paid for it.
I understand the being pissed because I didn’t do specifically what you’d asked me to, but don’t fucking question my integrity because the neighbors you’re always talking shit about that go to bed around 8 didn’t happen to make it outside when I was getting home from work, my god.
I hate them now is the point, and I try and get out of working there this week and all I can get is one of 5 days off and leaving early for my appt today. Yuck.
In other news, I bought a Jansport luggage, the one you see on TV that’s white with all the crazy-colored polka-dots. Oh yea, I’m really excited. It was overly expensive, but it’s cute and I love it. I’m likely to Miami for a few days in October, and that’s as good an excuse as any right?
I’m cleaning out my closet, literally, and finding bunches of crap I didn’t know I had. It’s kinda exciting, but also sad how big of a pack rat I was at one point in time. I swear every time I start cleaning I consolidate at least another box that’s full of crap I really didn’t need. It’s kinda sad really.
Bath and Body Works was having a sale so I went and bought a bunch of self-tanners with SPF because I’m skin-aging-conscious. And I’m very proud of that.
That’s all for now.
