PMS-ing!!

Yesterday morning, as I'm finishing up the order, Cindy tells me to order 3 How to Read Novels Like A Professor & 4 Till We Have Faces.  These are required summer reading at the high school so we generally try to keep several on hand so that we don't get caught behind the 8-ball.  Ordering these would give us 10 copies of each (unless we sell some of what we currently have in stock before they come in).  So I ordered them.  No, I didn't double-check the last time they were ordered (that is our failsafe--to know if we already have them on order) because I was taking care of customers at the same time.

Well, that afternoon, when our delivery came...I got in 10 Till We Have Faces & 5 How to Read Novels Like A Professor that Cindy had ordered on FRIDAY!!  I kinda laughed but...we'll sell them...it's no big deal.  Cindy happened to come back there while I was still checking stuff in & saw them & had a freaking FIT!  She's actually jumping my shit because I didn't check order status.  I'm like...WHOA!  YOU ordered them Friday...I haven't even been here for a week!  We had a little spitting match & she went away.  I boiled for a bit after that.  Are you fucking kidding me?!  SHE ordered them...SHE told me to order them again...WTF?!  Whatever...

Book Club Karen dropped by later in the afternoon & it was decided that her, Cindy, me & Claire would go to Chili's tonight for drinks & snacks (Cindy is kinda wanting to make this a monthly ritual anyway).  This morning, after the 3rd time she snapped at me...I was OVER it!  And I shut down.  You'd have to know me to even know what that means...how I act (or don't react/don't associate/don't acknowledge anything or anyone around me except whatever I'm focused on).  It is an automatic defense mechanism for me.  It means...I'm trying to shut out whatever is bothering me so that I don't over-react instead.  Around 3 pm, I texted Manda & told her about the situation & told her that I'd just decided I wasn't going out with them.  I just wanted AWAY from her ASAP.  Manda ended up telling Karen (cuz Manda agreed to babysit Kaine, Karen's grandson, so she could go out with us ).  


Mike was up there during all of this.  He was getting drinks for everyone.  He asked what I wanted.  I said I was good, thanks.  He's trying to get me to change my mind &...for whatever reason...he comes up behind me & starts kissing on my ear & the back of my neck!  REALLY?!  o.0  I still didn't change my mind...

At 5 pm, I got my shit & started walking out.  Cindy asks me if I'm going to go save us a booth.  I said no....that I wasn't going.  The look on her face was priceless.  Claire & Maia were all like...OMG, look how sad she looks!  Claire was saying that Cindy was only going cuz I was going.  I'm just like...whatever...waved them off & walked out.  OVER IT, I tell you!  Apparently, Claire wasn't going either...?  Not sure but it looked like she was leaving.

I started on the way home & stopped to get my oil changed.  I'd hit my mileage over the weekend actually.  This guy on my new way home is $2 cheaper than the guy I've been using.  I also knew that my 1st guy had told me last summer I needed a new fuel filter (one that's on it is the original OEM one from '05) BUT he wanted $100 to change it.  So I put it off.  I didn't mention it to this new guy...wanted to see if he'd bring it up.  And he did...lol!  However, he only charged me $29!!  Wow.  And he put new windshield wiper blades on for me.  One of mine was falling apart.  While I was waiting, Cindy was texting me...begging me to come to Chili's cuz she wanted to hang out with me.  We finally got our squabble out in the open.  She apologized.  And I told her...that her snapping at people like this is why she lost Manda & Kelli.  Me...I get pissed/hurt...& I get over it.  You just have to give me time...

I get home & just as I'm finishing bringing the trash can & 2 recycle boxes back up to the house, Mom drives up.  She wants to go to dinner.  Apparently, their dumbass roomie is moving out this weekend...& Bud is blaming her for it!  So they got into this massive argument.  Well, it's not like they don't fight all the time anyway...but yeah...this one was pretty big.  So over dinner, she's telling me that she's going to start looking for a job Monday...& that she might be moving in HERE with me!!  ARGH!!!!  FML.  *sighs*  I hope not...ugh!!  :/

Anyway...so once we get back from dinner & she leaves...I discover Nixon has arrived.  Uh huh.  PMS-ing...THAT'S why Cindy has been able to irk me so bad!!  Granted, she hasn't acted like this for MONTHS. But it happened.  It's over.  It'll take me a day or 2 to really let it go & move on.  And I'm sure she's gonna wanna talk about it some more in the morning.  Ugh.  I just wanna drop it.  Process it & let go of it.

Now my aching body is laying down!!  Long day tomorrow...8:30 am - 7 pm...?  We're testing closing at 7 on Fridays.  Store Karen is coming in the morning & we're going to do some test scanning for the inventory to see how it all actually works.  And so the adventure begins...*laughs*
