I'm looking through my calendar, and realized that since post-planning ended on May 23rd, the following has happened:
5/24 - invasive eye surgery is scheduled
5/25 - dentist refused to clean my teeth citing periodontal disease (or as I call it, advanced decay of your wallet, so you make up false problems to charge me more out-of-pocket)
6/1 - first interview for new job
6/2 - massage, facial, and Dunwoody Nature Park concert
6/3 - Rock'n'Roll Monster Bash at the drive-in
6/4 - doctorate program begins
6/8 - open gym and Nikki gets hired!
6/11 - second interview for new job
6/14 - final measurements for upcoming invasive eye surgery
6/14 - child back to the dentist who refused to clean my teeth
6/16 - haircut, cookout, shoe decorating
6/18 - the drive to Orlando. It started with my passenger being 30 minutes late, followed by a 90 minute check-in experience. Not the way I wanted to start vacation.
6/19 - beach, then ESPN opening ceremony
6/20 - win 1, lose 2
6/21 - win 1, lose 2
6/22 - win 0, lose 3
6/23 - win 3, taking the yellow championship (G, B, S, R, W, B, Y.... but its better than nothing, but puts us in 42nd place)
6/24 - drive home
6/25 - third interview and I'm hired! Go to pay speeding ticket, get citied for Failure To Appear (even though I was in the hospital), costing me an additional $100, for a total of $200. While paying, my car is booted for parking fines that have been in dispute for 3 years, costing me $200 to get the boot off. Total cost? $400
6/26 - go to get new driver license. After waiting 90 minutes, I am told... oh never mind. I ended up confusing the person at the counter enough that I kept my old license, and got my new one with a change of address. Background check done for new job.
6/27 - New job? Offer rescinded. Because of something that happened 25 years ago, and which was only supposed to be a traffic ticket but which showed up on my background check as a misdemeanor.
I cry. A lot. And fight for my job.
6/28 - go to the DAs office, where the super nice investigator told me "it happened 25 years ago. What do you expect me to do?" Two hours later I get the phone call saying I'm rehired. Go to sign the contract. Then fly to DC.
6/29 - 7/2: DC. Believe it or not, I had a great trip with no drama.
7/3 - See Biden talk. Leave for airport. Arrive at DC National at 1:30 pm for a 2:59pm flight. Board plane. Sit on tarmac for 3 hours. Go back to airport. Get off plane. Reboard plane 15 minutes after arriving at gate. Site on tarmac for 3 hours. Go back to airport. Stay at gate 30 minutes, which would give us plenty of time to eat except the 4:40 flight was canceled so the vendors are backed up. Reboard plane. Sit at gate while 4:40 people are rebooked for our flight, luggage is located and transfered. Finally leave 1 hour later. Diverted to Baltimore due to mechanical failure. Arrive at BWI at 11:30 pm. Have to get new boarding passes. Even though I paid for early boarding, the gate agent doesn't subscribe to silly ideas like that, and boards from the back to the front of the plane. Finally leave BWI at 12:30am, arriving in Atlanta at 2:00am. Home by 3:00 am, a mere 12 hours later.
7/4 - really, who expected me to do something more than actually get out of bed?
7/5 - New pilates class, then go to new job and get codes and stuff I need to access information on-line. Dinner at Buckhead Diner with child.
7/6 - gym
7/7 - not. a. damn. thing.
7/8 - volleyball practice and pick the husband up at the airport.
7/9 - eye surgery, and HS volleyball tournament begins.
Don't worry, I still have a month to go....
