Whew, I got my report in on time last night before bed. Amazing concidering how much I am doing with the working and the moving. Still 4 branches not reporting even with me poking or trying to poke the seneschal at the same time.

That will be my last report as I step down in June. Whether they like it or not. I hope I did an ok job. At least I was willing and had great ideals.

I hate packing. I really really really hate packing.
This hatred will only be matched by my hate of unpacking I bet.
I still have half my desk, half my bedroom, half my living room to pack, the bathroom, and one storage locker, and one closet.
So many things I don't need. But no time to get rid of them.
Gah.
Oh and of course I have been hit by a creativity bug that just wants to sew... Cannot indulge in my crafty side until at least mid June, or whenever I can find and afford a desk that fits and suits my purpose.

We got notice today that the manager and unknown persons will be entering our suite tomorrow between 10 and 4 to do a renovation inspection.

I don't know how they think they are going to see anything, I mean my house is FULL of boxes and half taken apart. There is no way they are going to see anything useful. We offered to walk through with them when we gave our notice Apr 30th to show them what needed to be taken care of after we left and we got no response.

But I have to say this stresses me out. They didn't give us 24 hours notice. And I dont' know who is going to be in my apartment with all my packing and things and my cats. I really don't know. But there is nothing I can do about it, and honestly I need to just worry about getting packed and getting stuff out of here.

So if any of you contact me through my shaw email address it is going to be a dead email address as of May 22nd. Let me know if you need any of my other email addresses. I have to go through 3000 emails to see if there is anythign to save in that account and all my sca lists are subscribed on that email as well. rawr.

Also this means my old website is going to fail too. It will be down permanently. I have nothing but LJ to replace it so far. My web presence footprint is really starting to suck.

Happy Birthday SCA! Thank you for giving me many reasons to be creating so many new things in so many new ways!

Craigslist is really slow lately even if I try to sell some of these things by undercutting other people who are trying to sell stuff I probably won't have it all gone before we move. Rawr.

I got rid of 4 garbage bags and a banker box full of fabric today. I sorted out a lot of stuff in my craft room. Well a lot is relative, about 2/5 of my shelves in the crap room! Not bad if I do say so. I can see out the window from the door rather than the huge piles on top of my desk.

Tomorrow I get to do more and with any luck I can be half done that room by dinner time. Getting new meds in the am, I need to be able to function.

it is funny how sometimes you can feel just fine and then rather abruptly you can feel so totally crappy.

I woke up too early friday am, like 3:30 am. I was ok all day. I get home, we get groceries and do dinner and I have a tiny bit of a scratchy throat. Then I was nodding on the couch like half hour later and decided to go to bed at 9pm. Two hours early for me, and totally unusual.

Today I woke at 5 am and I have a scratchy throat but I was doing ok and functioning well until I walked down to skytrain to sell my bike. On the way back up the hill all my muscles and joints started aching and my throat was on fire. I mostly spent the rest of the evening trying to get warm or cool off. I feel like a huge pile of poo right now and I am seriously contemplating going to bed though it is only 8:20 pm. I have a tonne of packing to do. I have a present to make. I have crap I NEED to get done. But I am exhausted and my throat hurts. I guess I will only feel better once I am asleep. I am medicated, little help that is. Where is my vicks vaporub...

who gave this to me?

The weight issue is starting to make me think I need to do drastic things to achieve fat loss. Like supplements, purges, cleanses and anything that might even remotely help. I keep contemplating them, it is like a sickness.

But I know, I KNOW, it isn't healthy to do things like that. Sigh.
