moving sucks
Man, it’s a good thing I quit my job 2 weeks before I’m actually moving. It’s been nice to sit around a bit, but really - it’s been kinda hectic. Like today, I went and checked out laptops since I don’t want to take my computer to Utah. Then I went and checked out skis since I don’t want my nice skis getting all ripped up teaching kids. Then I went and checked out new (used) cars since mine is costing me so much $. Then I came home talked with the folks for a little bit, then went out to eat with them watched a movie (as I sorted through my kitchen stuff) and now here I sit.
Tomorrow I’m going to the UM football game at noon (leaving here at 9:45), then coming home, and then heading back to ann arbor tomorrow evening for fun with the friends.
Tuesday I’ve got a dr. appt to check my iron level, which I think i’m going to cancel cause I haven’t been taking the pills like I’m supposed to be (it makes it really hard to poop!) so I’m sure my hemoglobin isn’t anywhere where she would expect it to be. Then in the afternoon I’m going to go hang out with Tanya from PF and her baby Emily. Wed I’m getting a cavity filled and then going out to a good-bye dinner with my dad and a couple of friends/cousins in Ann Arbor. Thursday I’m hanging out with a friend from work and her baby Joey and then having an early Thanksgiving with friends and family. Friday is my friend Brian’s bday and everyone is in town and then Saturday I’m leaving.
Holy Crap.
I’ve still got to go through my clothes, get a map or 2. Buy the laptop, get the used car checked over by the mechanic and buy it, get insurance settled on it. Find a pair of skis, plus all the other crap that comes with moving. Holy hell. I need a vacation! Good thing I’ve got a couple of weeks once I get there to settle in and chill - maybe get some early season skiing in? hm…we’ll see
And while I’m at it…
A couple of select friends are pissing me off! This is my last full weekend in town. I talked to Brian earlier about going out to the Jug tonight, but didn’t know if anyone else was around. Brian said he didn’t know either, looked like it was slim pickins and we called it a night. I called up my friend Kal to leave a voicemail telling her I was going to ride in with my parents tomorrow for the game and for her not to worry about finding me a ticket. What do I get, a very drunk Kal on the phone. She’s at the Jug. Her thing she had to do tonight until midnight was cancelled and she went out with a bunch of people and didn’t bother to call me. She knew I wanted to go out tonight - I told her like 2 days ago that I wanted to see people. Fuck! She does this all the freakin’ time! I hate when I get left out and forgotten like this. It pisses me off. It takes so much effort to try and see people when I’m living in Farmington that when shit comes up and starts going on, I like to be called. Like, she knew prolly around 8 (or earlier) that she wasn’t going to have to do this thing tonight. She coulda called me even if they weren’t going out until 10. If I was living in AA I could have gone over to the Jug after I talked to her at 11, but now it’s not even worth it because by time I get there it’s going to be at least 11:45-12am and then I’ll hang out with people for an hour or two before everyone goes to bed and well, pissmonkey.
I normally don’t get this worked up about shit, but it’s like goddamit. This is it the last time I’m going to see most of these people for a while and I can’t even get my best friend to call me to hang out with everyone.
And before someone asks - I didn’t call her because I expected her to be working this thing tonight until midnight … I don’t know the other girl’s phone number to have called her instead.
