Caterwauling

Just talked to John (Shan’s husband) — the doctors measured the fetus, and she’s 5.2 pounds and healthy!!! Shan’s eight months along, so this is extremely comforting for all of us — Alex is the right size and is in great shape. Now to get her mom out of the hospital and let this pregnancy-induced itching end already!

Hugs o’plenty go out to Bryan, Paul, Shawn, Dave and Scott (listed in order of scheduled appearance) for helping with the move tomorrow. I shall be up all night preparing for this impending thrill ride. 🙂 John may show up later, but I hope we knock out the big stuff so he can spend a lil more time with the mommy-to-be.

Well, I lost one of my moving crew for tomorrow, but for good reason. Shan is in the hospital, so John is out. And it seems I can’t get out of the truck rental. My hope is to move the entertainment center, TV and couch. The rest, I should just set on fire and not worry about moving it. Ugh. I fucking hate stress.

Alternate headline: Things I haven’t used in a year

Wave goodbye to things that I have (sadly) had no use for lately:

1. KY Jelly tube (open for too long)

2. Pack of birth control pills (expired!)

3. Two containers of Astroglide

4. The Plan B pill

5. Assorted condoms (expried again!)

It occurs to me that everyone I’ve slept with in the past year, I’d only slept with once. New goal: regular fuck buddy. Any takers?!?!

I feel like I’ve been working like a dog to make my move happen, but I’m not seeing enough results. I’m wiped out today and plan to do a billion loads of laundry, as my muscles hurt too much for me to lift yet another box today.

Shawn graciously treated me to lunch today, as he also took the day off to do some schoolwork. I needed that escape from tubs and boxes and newspaper and packing popcorn, not to mention that the best way to take care of your friends who are in moving hell is to pamper and distract them. 🙂 Thanks Shawn!

I was most excited at the fact that 7-11 now has sugar-free Slurpees, something that’s been bothering me for years. So today, I got a Diet Pepsi Slurpee. And guess what — it sucks! Diet Pepsi is just nasty in general — what was I thinking when I assumed that it would taste better frozen? Yeeaaaccchh. Stick to the Crystal Light Orange-Pineapple Slurpee, if you’re so inclined to have a sugar-free treat! At least it has flavor. The Lemon-Lime isn’t half-bad, either.

I had my usual moving-night jitters and dreamed that I forgot to rent a truck. Of course, for those of us who know, I DID rent a truck, and when I called to confirm the reservation, I was told that I wasn’t in the system and that my reservation number was no good. So, let’s see if, after giving the company my credit card info for a second time, there will be a truck for me tomorrow.

Well, off to wash my guchies. Perhaps I really don’t need to take all 150 pairs with me, eh?
