I'm slightly flucking irritated right now. When we went on our PA trip, I left David's Nintendo DS on the airplane accidentally. I didn't realize it until two days later (I still SWEAR I remember packing it in the bag). We were the last off the plane so a stuardess had to have found it. Well, I went to a customer service desk when I returned to Colorado at DIA. They gave me a slip of paper with a phone number on it, said for me to call it and if they find it they will charge me to ship it back. *eyeroll* Fucking airlines charge for EVERYTHING now. Oh, did you know a $1 McDouble in the airport costs $4.80!? Nuts. Anyways, so I don't suspect it will be cheap to get it back. So, I ended up losing the piece of paper with the number on it (Hey, who is really organized after coming off of a week long vacation? No one!). So, I call the regular number. Wait on hole for ten minutes. They give me another number to call (What happened to transfers?). So I called and waited on hold for another ten minutes. I got a very short operator on the phone who didn't even let me finish my sentence and just abruptly sent me to a recording. (Ugh I hate that. I used to work in a call cetner, I KNOW how it is, but don't be an ass unless I am an ass first, k?). I could either EMAIL Frontier or Leave a message with information as to the shit I lost and they would call me or email me only IF and WHEN they found it. No time frame. I was sure to leave on that message that I was the last off the plane so an attendant HAD to have gotten it. Ugh, anyways.
On to good news. I remember mentioning that I got all my financial aid figured out. Well, usually while recieving FA you get an excess fund every disbursment. Well, my direct subsidized and unsubsidized loans already posted to my account leaving a $416.90 balance. My Pell grant will post by 10/30 in the amount of $2400.00. So... it looks like I will get just under $2000 back. Which couldn't have come at a better time, but it seems like a LOT of money. So if I DO get that much, I have made a list of things I am going to purchase.
Plates for the Pontiac, plus 6 month policy on both vehicles.
Daniel's license back. He's eligible but we can't afford it.
We are MOVING. BUH-BYE shitty neighbors and slumlord!
The boys need clothes.
A BED. I sleep on a mattress on the floor that's over a decade old. It sucks.
Fluffy bedding.
A new crockpot. Penny, let me know the brand you used so I DO NOT buy it
At least a year subscription to OD, but would love a lifetime membership. IF they fix the bugs.
First four are priority. Bed will most likely happen. The crockpot and OD subscription are optional. I am excited but not dwelling on it. I would love to move... I think that would help my anxiety a lot. This place and my neighbors irritate me (I am trying to nix my use of the word 'hate', I use it a lot.). I dislike worrying about my house, things, cars, safety. I watch David at the bus stop (and am contemplating driving him to school everyday instead of just rain/snow days) like a hawk because I don't want those kids messing with him or Natasha. I think it's immature to call the landlord over parking spots (and yes I moved my car yesterday and left the bathroom fan OFF). I don't like people walking above my head, or dogs running round, or worrying about a psycho living above me.
In other news, we will have dinner guests tonight. I think. Daniels BFF Andy and his wife becca (plus itty bitty baby Andy Jr.) were invited to come over last night the day before by Daniel. He failed to tell me 'till yesterday. So seeing as how I am meal planning, trying to be less wasteful, I didn't have enough food for two more people. So, I had a lightbulb moment, CHILI! I had everything for it, and enough. So I threw the fixins' in my old, decrepid crock pot and let it cook. Then I found out they couldn't make it. Damn. Not their fault, but frustrating. So now I have a new recipe that I am going to stretch tonights meal... and sent Daniel with a grocery list to bring home. I hate trying to cook a NEW recipe for someone who isn't my family... and Andy is a chef. So I am super nervous... but he's very nice and would never say anything rude about my cooking. It is what it is...
Oh, it snowed last night. Supposed to snow again tonight. It usually doesn't snow until AFTER halloween here, so we may have to cover our costumes to keep warm! Oh well.
