Monday from Hell: Part 1

OMG!!

Ok, 1st of all, I finally fell asleep around 3-ish am & was up at 7 am.  Normally I sleep til 9 when I'm closing but I'd decided that I wanted to get up early, finish packing & possibly nab the kids before Sheba goes into hiding for the day & get them over to the house & then get to work "whenever".  That way, when I get off tonight, I can just go to my NEW HOME!  :D  It was a good plan.  Umm...uh huh...

So soon after I get up, I realize I have a problem.  I have been using these soft silicone earplugs for about a year now.  No problems whatsoever!  Well, I opened a new pack last night...not really noticing that they are smaller than the ones I've been using.  o.0  You can see this coming, can't you?!  lol  Yeah, well, the one in my left ear is STUCK!  I mean like totally against my eardrum or something!  Poked & prodded with Q-Tips & tweezers.  No luck except to remove itty bitty pieces at a time.  I can't hear.  I mean, I can but not well.  Everything is muffled, etc.  So I'm still digging at this thing at 8:25 when I look at my phone & notice I have voicemail & texts. Cindy has been in an accident on her way to the store...can I open?!  CRAP!  So I drop everything & hurriedly get dressed & get out the door.  But just before I leave, I have to pee & GUESS WHAT?!  Yes...Nixon has come to visit!  Are you kidding me?!  A couple weeks EARLY...AND my stuff is at the house!!  ARGH!!!  Luckily, I had something in my purse!  Sheesh!

I get to the store at 10 minutes til 9 & get open on time.  Claire goes to pick up Cindy & they get there a little after 10.  Cindy is ok...her car, however, is NOT!  lol  Within a few minutes, the Glass Repair guys show up.  A few weeks ago when we had that nasty little storm, it did some damage to our big windows so they've now come to fix them.  We now have this big gaping hole in the side of our building, about 6 sweaty guys making hellacious noises with drills & saws, etc, the bookcases that were in front of the main window is now in the middle of the aisle so nobody can really get in our door too easily.  Just...UGH!!!  Got our order placed finally...amongst all the noise & upheaval.  Claire & Cindy are freaking out about my ear...Claire goes home to get hydrogen peroxide & tweezers...hoping they can dissolve it or at least loosen it up some to get it out of there.  No luck.  So they make me leave at 1 to go to Urgent Care.  ARGH...I DESPISE DOCTORS.  Go in there.  He's at lunch right now...but nurse doesn't think he'll be able to do anything about it if nobody can even see the damn thing...but regardless, it'll be $75 to see him!  FML!  I left.  lol  I'll use more peroxide today & tomorrow...if I can't get it by then, I'll go back to him.  *sighs*

But right now...I'm gonna pack my clothes & stuff.  At least that much will be done by the time I get back home tonight.  Gotta go back up to the store at 4:30 so Cindy can leave to go to Jackie's (daughter-in-law) birthday party.  *sighs*

What a freaking DAY!!!!  I hope it calms down at this point!  lol  OMG...
