For those of you who don't know. I just transferred to Phoenix from Massachusetts as of Jan 1. I am living with some relatives until I sell my home in Mass and find one here. This morning I feel like too much shit to do a 2004 learnings post a la Loren, so here are
Things I have learned thus far today:
- Waking up in the middle of the night with a scratchy throat always means you will wake up in the morning with a full blown cold/flu.
- I really only do get sick when it is the most inconvenient
- That is also usually when I am under a lot of stress
- It is possible for me to make it to the gym in the morning with everything necessary to ready for the day.
- Underwear isn't necessary.
- Don't eat a breakfast burrito before going to work out while sick, it will only make you more sick, this time with your stomach.
- I have reached the point where I can look at a potential home for 10 minutes, put down an offer immediately and be comfortable with that decision.
- The prescription for my eyes is actually getting better.
- Sometimes, no matter how hard it is, you need to say "No" to sushi for lunch.
- While it is nice and warm outside, it is freaking cold in my new office.
- It is necessary to bring in a second form of identification when getting a license in a new state.
- Though I thought I had, I failed to pack that second form of identification.
- I also failed to pack cold medicine, tampons, an extra tub of face lotion, ski clothes, my dog's backpack, my backpack, etc.
- It is possible to spend 2.5 days getting your laptop and phone setup.
- I owe $6,500 to the University of Connecticut.
- I owe $11,000 to the town sewer department
- I owe $3,000 to the potential purchasers of my home
- I owe fucking lot of money

I wonder if I can get my cat to wear a backpack.
By God, I'm going to try.

No sweaters. My dog is a manly working dog. OK, he's big pussy but I still don't dress him up in sweaters. I will put shoes on him if we go out in the ice/snow to protect his paws from the sharp salt crystals. If I don't and they get cut, they bleed profusely all over the house, wherever he walks - not fun to clean up. I suppose I'll have to get him some shoes now if I take him out in the pavement in the Arizona summers to keep his pads from burning off.

Yes, my dog has a backpack. It is a hiking pack that I load up with stuff when we go hiking. I usually give him the heaviest stuff as it wears him out faster. He loves wearing it.

I'm stranded at work right now. I have all of my work finished, but everyone else is all wrapped up in "year end". To be a team player, I'm waiting around until the 7:30-4:30 crowd leaves because they always whine like little bitches that when we all work late, technically they are working later like oh sure, they really get here at 7:30. At this exact moment, I'm waiting to check in with new boss to be sure they don't need me for anything, but she's on the phone.
10 minutes and I slip away.
so that's my story today

Mick - actually, in most towns in my state the new owner can assume the betterment, but I happen to live in one where they can't.

I suppose everything IS relative.
You probably know, but if by chance you are unaware, you will be required to pay the sewer bill at closing or the sale cannot be completed. I am only saying this because I have encountered alot of people at closings who were caught off guard with things like that.

The sewer bill is for a mandatory hook-up bill - I was on septic before. Oh, and Apollo's condom too.
I'd like to now add to the list that chopsticks come in very handy when eating leftover Mexican food and chicken noodle soup.

$11,000 to the town sewer department???
How does this happen? Where I live everything just magically disappears
down our drains so there's no need for sewer departments. Do you actually
get billed like for electricity & water or.. what the hell?

Is that because you flushed that GIGANTIC condom I left in your toilet?
I told you to put it in the atlantic but nooooooo nicole knows best, thing of the poor DOLPHIONS Jamie she said, you could kill three or four with just one of your specially made condoms she said.
Oh well, but think on this nicole smarty pants, do dolphins claim $11,000? Do they? DO THEY?
