I should add that I actually think it would be very different going to a shower for someone I’m really close to -- most of the ones I’ve struggled with have been family and people I’m not as close to, which makes the forced frivolity harder to deal with for me.
This. I was actually very excited to go to the baby shower yesterday, but I was having trouble dealing with it for my own reasons. I was very excited to find out my cousin was pregnant. She has wanted a baby for a very long time, and she was starting to believe it was never going to happen for her. I started buying things for her shower gift from the moment she told me she was pregnant; she's going to be a great mom. None of which is going to keep me from mocking shower games here where she will never see the mocking. I insisted on not having games at my wedding shower. That being said; making onesies for the baby sounds like it would be great fun!
Yikes, omnis. Good luck getting that take care of asap.
askye, best of luck figuring out all of the school stuff.
TCG cleaned all the things while I was at the shower yesterday. He rocks!
We tied-dyed some at my friend Jill's shower. That was kind of nice...the only thing weird about that one was that it was, besides me, her sisters and childhood besties. Flattering to be asked, but there were a lot of in-jokes I didn't know.
Well, that was a lot quicker than I thought - I've filled out the CCV application, the FAFSA and VSAC applications.
Now I just need to figure out where I can find a fax machine I can use to fax transcript requests.
askye, those mail box places usually have fax machines. At least, mine does. Good luck! This is an exciting thing you're doing!
Oh no, Nora! Did she give a reason? And is Tom going to the dentist today?
Good luck, omnis. Not a fun way to kick things off.
Nora, sorry I skimmed past - that sucks! How much longer do you have her?
Askye, very exciting! Woot! Learning time! I second Kinko's/Mailbox Etc/ type of places. And some public libraries do as well.
omnis I hope they can get the hole fixed before you move in! Glad you decided to get the floors redone!
I know, right? At first I was all panic'd like I would have to pay for all this damage. Then I realized, no, it's structural, that's a HOA thing. Then I was relieved I found it! I mean. GARAGE! Hello. Carbon Monoxide Poisoning! Bad! "And he passed away in his sleep", yes, I'd love to go blissfully, but not yet!
Still no word from management company. I hope that means they are frantically calling people, starting to line up inspectors and what not. But, I'd love an email acknowledging that, or some such.
Yeah, wow, omnis! Rusty garbage disposal is par for the course, but hole in the floor?!? NSM.
Wow. This. So sorry and hope it is swiftly fixed.
