is this week over yet? please?

This has been an extremely weird week.  It started off with me having 3 days of work with no boss, which was excellent because I was able to get a ton of work accomplished.  Even yesterday and today have been pretty darn easy, as well, since he's been doing almost nothing but returning phone calls and hasn't generated much more work for me to do yet.

My house is an absolute disaster at the moment, too, because I have been feeling totally out of it and having a hard time functioning with the roommate around.  I admit, it's partly to piss him off too, because I'm so fed up with his bullshit... he's been so petty the entire time he's lived here that I'm being completely petty this week.  Screw you, asshole!

He works tomorrow, and then is doing his move on Sunday.  He actually had the nerve to suggest that I should go stay at Ian's house all weekend so that he could do his move without us being in the way!  I didn't laugh AT him, but I was laughing inside... that would require me to actually TRUST him, which I sure as hell don't.  I think I'm going to suggest to Ian that he come over after work tonight, and we can spend tomorrow together at my place, and then I'll send him home tomorrow night and that way it's only me getting in the roommate's way, not both of us. 

Once he's gone, I can get going on my own packing.  The roommate was weirded out by the fact that I brought boxes home this week - he hasn't done any packing except for the last couple of days.  Granted, he has a lot less stuff than I do, but I really don't want to leave things until the last minute, and I also want to do a bunch of decluttering, tossing out, and things like that as I pack.

yay weekend!

Yay for the weekend... and it's the last one with my idiot roommate in my life.  Woohoo!

After work, I stopped at the beer & wine store at the skytrain station, picked up a six-pack of Hefeweizen because it is absolutely SCORCHING out today and wheat beer with lemon sounds lovely.  Then I headed to the market, where I found a major treat for Ian... he loves rainier cherries and they're finally in season, so I picked some up for him because I love spoiling my man.

Then to the grocery store to pick up the stuff to make tacos for tonight's dinner; tomorrow's will be homemade burgers, potato salad and corn on the cob.  Ian's coming over after work today (hopefully he'll get out early, which happens fairly frequently on Friday nights), and will be here until tomorrow evening but I'll be sending him home then so that it's just me getting in the roommate's way on Sunday.  Like I said, I don't trust the roommate as far as I can throw him, so there's no way in hell I'm going to leave for the weekend while he's moving.

I've been going a little nuts on my troll shaman lately, and having an absolute blast with her.  I've decided to make her my "co-main" with my priest on my horde server, and work on achievements with her as well as my priest.  She's halfway through 65 at the moment, and should be ready for Northrend by the end of the weekend.  I'm going to be spending the next while alternating between working on cleaning up the house and extinguishing/honoring fires for the Midsummer FIre Festival.

randomness

i. I stood up to the roommate this afternoon and damn it felt good.

ii. My hair is now long enough to put into a low braid again.  This makes me VERY happy.  Seeing people on Twitter talking about changing their hair, plus some angst this week, made me have a brief urge to chop it off again but I made it through it without doing it, and I know I will be happier for it in the end.

iii. It's scorching out and my feet are swollen because of it.  However, spraying them with the Peppermint Cooling Foot Spray I have from the Body Shop makes them feel a million times better.

iv. Sitting topless in front of my desk fan on days like today is bliss.  And in another 2 days, I will be able to do it whenever I want, not just once the roommate has gone to bed.

v. My shaman just hit 66.  She was 62 on Wednesday evening.  Sadly I am now out of rested experience.  She's getting parked in an inn for a little while, while I go quest on my paladin again.  I had been waiting for Ian's druid to catch up to her in quests, but we won't be getting much overlapping playtime in the next month so I said to hell with it.

vi. Work today was insane.  Days like this make me want to change practice areas, because the stupidity of some clients is just flabbergasting.

vii. My landlords are gone this weekend, which means no screaming baby upstairs for 2 days.

viii. I am going to miss my gas stove to cook on when we move, but one thing I'm not going to miss?  The flame on the gas stove going out because I was trying to cook something on low.  Pfeh, stupid stove.

ix. I am REALLY looking forward to seeing Ian tonight.  I'm sure it's because gone back to afternoon shift, but I feel like I haven't gotten NEAR enough time with him lately.  I miss him terribly.  When he was on days, even on the days we didn't see each other, we talked every evening, and even if we weren't actively chatting, he was just there.  I love that and I miss it.

x. I actually started a craft project last weekend.  It's a carrier for my bow, arrows and other archery gear, designed to be slung across my back.  It's mostly a prototype, since I'm making it out of fabric leftover from my newest apron dress, which is a little light for the purpose, but we'll see how it works.
