Happenings
I signed up for a gmail account, just to have a second email since I no longer have an account through the cable company, and Blogger went and switched my login name. No biggie, but it seems that the Google empire wants you to have everything with them. At least they make it easy and convenient and not a major pita.
I got a reply from my mom to my my previous post. I haven’t posted her comment yet, and I’m not sure if I will. I did email her, and it’s just something we have to work out. So enough on that.
Boyfriend and I went to IKEA yesterday. I’m still a bit peeved that they currently have no intention on building one here in Las Vegas, so we made the 4 hour (each way) trek to SoCal. We bought three bookcases, two CD racks to flank the fireplace (which currently is a featureless hole in the wall), a shelf to act as a mantle over the fireplace, and two ice cube molds. All the big stuff was either black or black-brown, and it all fit in my tiny Ford Focus hatchback. After a somewhat cramped ride home, we got right to work putting it all together. The place is really coming together now that there’s somewhere to put everything. Tomorrow I’ll drive a truckload of stuff over to the charity shop so we can get it away from us.
My back has been really hurting me the past few days. Friday was the worst. It seems ok as long as I’m not moving around and I can sit on a comfortable, supportive seat and in an upright position. It seems to be getting a bit better, but now the muscles are stiff too. Hopefully it will be better really soon, because I hate not having my normal range of motion and ability to move and do stuff.
Ah well. Tomorrow it’s back to job hunting, unpacking, and organizing all the shiznit I have, and trust me, I’m still frustrated with it all.
DAMN! I miss IKEA.
I’ve made that trek…it’s loooong but sooooo worth it!!!! Watch them build one here the day after I move!!! ARGH!!!
I bet you are having back spasms. Are you using heat or cold? Take some Motrin too. It’s an anti-inflammatory and will really help you.
I read your post about your mom. I hope she listened this time
Oh, by the way…I checked with some people of mine and so far no luck…but that doesn’t mean something won’t come up for you soon. Have you thought about promoting yourself on your resume to Office Manager? I did that and it’s helped me get my last three jobs here.
Ah yes, long but so worth it. Back when I lived in Massachusetts, before the New Haven or Stoughton stores, I would make the trek to Elizabeth, NJ for my fix. Lucky for me I have relatives in NJ, so I’d stay overnight on my IKEA trips.
Back isn’t spasming, it just hurts. Boyfriend thinks it might be a slipped disk. Lots of ibuprofin, heat, Sombra (a natural kind of IcyHot) and staying off my feet are helping.
And job - I found a temp to perm! It starts Wednesday and with a good company. Hopefully this one will last awhile. I’ve had too many jobs over the last 8 months. Thanks for the help though!
