I ran out of work early yesterday because SBC called and said they were at my complex and could help me get my phone connected. I decided to go for it. I only split like 5 minutes early. So I met the SBC guy at the phone room and he gave me this thing to plug into my jack at home.
I went home and plugged in the thing and he got my phone working. It seems Grande was installing the jumper on the wrong phone line. Surprise Surprise! Of course they are screwing with me. They want me to ditch SBC and switch over to them. Not gonna happen!
So I finally have a home line again. Now I just need to work on getting my DSL hooked up. I hope it’s less drama than the phone.
I organized my closet afterwards. It feels so much nicer in there now. I hate seeing clutter. I still have some things to throw out, but it’s getting there. I really need to clean out my clothes and just take some to Goodwill. I have plenty of things that I never wear.
At 5:30ish, I went to Gina’s to hang out. We made a trip over to Toys R Us to let Citlali play for a while. I had no idea that this is what parents were doing these days. I didn’t even know Toys R Us had a learning center and play area. Although she did say that sometimes they just hang out in the Barbie aisle. I can’t imagine how that could be entertaining.
We left Toys R Us and went over to my sister’s house so that I could pick up her dog (Romie) to take back to my place. I am extremely thankful that the dog is not as hyper as last time I watched her.
I brought her home and started making pizza for myself. She was running around like crazy so I finally just got up and sat on the counter in the kitchen to read, free from her jumping all over me. “N” came over and Romie went crazy running around him and jumping all over him.
We tried sitting on the couch to watch Uptown Girls, but Romie would not leave us alone. We decided to go to the bedroom to watch it. My bed is too high for her to easily jump onto. So we just watched the movie in there.
Unfortunately, I had to get up before the movie and walk Romie. I walked her all over the place and she wouldn’t go. I finally gave up and brought her back up to the apartment. After the movie I went to sleep and I had decided to just let Romie run around in the bedroom while I slept. I figured it would be safe.
Then I smelled something foul.
I got up and turned on the lights and that dog pooped on my floor. I was so mad. So I just put her in the bathroom and shut the door. I went back to sleep as she whined. I had to get up again because I heard her gnawing on something and I wanted to make sure she wasn’t ruining anything in my new apartment.
This morning I did not want to get out of bed, but I had to go walk the dog. So I took a shower and got dressed, then went to walk the dog. Again, I walked her forever and she peed twice, but not nearly long enough. It was more just to mark “her” territory. I know I’m going to go home tonight to find present for me in my bathroom. I guess I’ll go home during lunch to walk her again. Maybe that will help.
Tonight I might go clean my other apartment. I can’t decide if I want to do that tonight or postpone it until this weekend.
Dan is out today and tomorrow, so I guess I’ll be a little busier today. The nice thing is that I get to jam to the radio until 9, when Robert comes in.
