It took all freaking day to install the dishwasher...

It took all freaking day to install the dishwasher and make some repairs to the surrounding area, but it's done. First of many catch-up loads of dishes is currently in the wash. Woohoo! 😃

Super thank you and much love to the best guy ever. He knew going in how much work it would be. I had no idea! I thought you just plugged them in and hooked up the water pipes, like with a washing machine. I have been schooled!

Cable One upped my bill as promised a month or two back.

Cable One upped my bill as promised a month or two back.  I just sucked it up and was like "Ok.  I don't have the energy to deal with this."

I just got my new bill today and it's $10 more than the upped price.  I have not gone over my usage on the ridiculously large plan they upgraded me to.  I tried to email customer service, but their form is not working.  So, screw it.

I'm going to pay them $50 a month because it's what I like to do.  And they can just cut me off whenever they cut me off - hopefully with me owing them a chunk.  Mark my words - they won't see it.  I'm too poor to be sued.  My credit looks ok and 100-ish stupid dollars won't ruin it.

I'll switch to AT&T whenever they cut me off and even though it doesn't seem as nice as Cable One, that's ok.  I guess we'll be spending more time at Shaun's than here.  School also has internet, so if I have to do some homework there it's not the end of the world.  Having a lesser internet plan just means I'll probably be on the Internet less and Shadow will have to play online less.  Oh no!  Less time-wasting?  How will we ever survive?

I'm just so done with this.  I'm 100% prepared to sell everything I don't need, cut corners where ever else I can, and keep my head down and buried in books for the next 4 - 6 years.  Life is tough right now, but that's ok because when I come out on the other side everything is going to change.  I am entirely too excited about my future to be worried about stupid shit, from Cable One or anyone else.

And on that note, Goodnight, Internet.  I have to wake up early and prepare for my birthday dishwasher to be delivered.  😃

Confession Time:

Confession Time:

I was a total nerd last night.  But I had so much fun!

I don't know if anyone remembers or cares that I was making a database for Polish All the Things, but I was.  And then life got in the way.  Last night on a whim I picked it up again.  I added a lot more data and linked some tables for the first time.  I am so stupidly excited over this.  😃

I wish I could spend all day working on it some more, but I have other things I gotta do.  Boo for most of it.  😕  We're heading out shortly to pick out my birthday dishwasher.  I'm definitely not booing that!  😃

Jeez. Every semester brings a new challenge...

Jeez.  Every semester brings a new challenge (aside from making awesome grades, of course!)  This time it's DEFINITELY time management!

I've done ok as far as getting hours in at work and getting my homework done.  What is sliding is my time with Shaun.  I know - I see him at work every day and we usually have dinner together, too, but there is a quality versus quantity thing going on here.

When we're at lunch during the day it's nice to talk and eat, but we're usually feeling rushed and not happy that we have to go back to work.  LOL  In the evenings we're both tired - and on top of that I'm usually distracted by housework and homework, so even if we're trying to unwind by watching our shows or whatever I feel a million miles away and usually not very chill.

Unfortunately for all of us I'm the kind of person who doesn't relax well unless things are done and handled... work first, rest and / or play later.  I guess that's good for my grades and generally my house, but dang.  I feel like a very negligent girlfriend right now.  😕  What's worse is that the last few weekends I haven't been able to hang out much due to trying to catch up on everything from the week!

I guess some changes are in order.  I think that Monday - Thursday, at least, I'm gonna have to really buckle down and get things accomplished.  Then hopefully, I have have Friday - Sunday to rest and get ready for the new week.  I don't know.  It doesn't sound like a lot of fun, but I only have, what?  Four - six more years of this?  🙁

Before you call me out for being a shit mom, Shadow is talking to other people besides me.  He's at the age where I'm not super important most of the time and I guess honestly, it couldn't have been better timing.  LOL

Anyway.  Just finished up some Literature.  Gotta call it a night.  Have to be up early-ish to give some blood to Dr. Rana!  🙂

Ha.

Maybe this should be my next pet.

I feel like this has been a very long day.

I feel like this has been a very long day.  My goodness.

In other news I'm gonna post / share some jewelry tomorrow.  I have Alabama and Auburn stuff and some pretty eyeball things for Halloween.  I don't have a lot of time to make a bunch of new stuff, but I would like to sell what I can.  I need to scrape up the money to spay and neuter these 4 foster kittens some kind of way!  🙂

If y'all have time head over to Polish All the Things and see if you like anything from the albums.  I think most of my jewelry is posted there.  Thanks in advance.  ❤

Holy cow.

Holy cow. I made a 95 on that Algebra test that I was sure I'd make a B on. I just got so excited that I gave myself a headache. 😳 Whattt?!
