Current Mood:  sick
I spent about three hours today unstringing lights from our Christmas tree and then another three with Greg unstringing more. We also went to Target and bought lights since the whole "prelit" thing was crap. The tree is six years old and I spent days upon days last year tracking down all the burnt out lights and it still didn't work so now it's a plain fake tree. We spent about twenty minutes looking for a second package to match the first we'd decided on, discovered that we'd grabbed the last set, and said "screw it, let's get the plain lights".
We set the tree up and Mikey promptly climbed two thirds of the way up it. I tried to get a picture but he jumped down before I found my camera. No matter, he'll do it again before the season is over.
I woke up this morning with a cold. It's basically miserable and I had no cold medicine in the house so I bought some to stock Greg's cabinet with at Target. Boy doesn't know what a properly stocked medicine cabinet is. If I'm sick I want to be able to reach in there and get something to make it better, not run to the store and fight with everything to feel better. I get sick every year because mom teaches fourth grade, I spend a bunch of time in hospitals and around sick people at work, and Sophie brings home all the junior high germs and drinks out of our water glasses to generously share them with the rest of the house.
Mikey is kneading my belly right now. I can only see half the screen so blame typos on him.
I have a dinner with Schnucks tomorrow and an open house/look at our cool pharmacies! thing. I feel like crap and don't want to go, but I really want a job offer so I'll suffer through. I wonder what I should wear. I'm saving my nice suit for the real interview, but I want to look professional and nice. We're also eating italian s0 something that hides marinara stains would be nice. (totally typed that last sentence with cat butt in my face) The worst part will be the pharmacy tour because it's in my old store and everyone that works there still knows me. I mean, it'll be kinda nice because the managers will say hi and the pharmacists know me and they mostly all loved me at that store, but still, kinda weird. Also the fact that I met the recruiters at the job fair and they said "Corinne, I know that name... wait didn't we offer you an internship last year?" and I had to be like "Yeah I turned down one of three spots in the St. Louis area to take a Walgreens internship and they basically give one to anyone who has a pulse and shows a vague interest in pharmacy, but you know, I learned my lesson!" That and the fact they pretty much offered me my own store right off the bat, but only in locations two hours away. Bleh on that.
Tomorrow Greg will hopefully get the lights and garland strung up while I'm schmoozing with pharmacy bigwigs and then Thursday we'll hang ornaments. I should also try to write another section of my paper sometime this week so I stop feeling so bad for being a procrastinator. Really this whole capstone project sucks. I realize most advanced students have to do a thesis and it's a lot more work, but really I'm just whiny and I'm not gonna stop.
I'm gonna go eat cookie dough, drink a glass of wine, and go to bed. |
