Date Night, take 2

Got to love how hitting one button can clear the whole post. *GRUMBLE*

I went and got Phaeton from work at about 9:45 with Mr Melodie Man. We came home and picked up the rest of Random so we could head to waffle house. We get there and find out that R a longtime waitress probably wont be coming back to work. They didnt say it, but I think she is dying. She has been battling breast cancer for the past year, and I think it is winning. She has had surgery, chemo, and I think she went up to mayo clinic. If she does die I really want to send something to the funeral. To let the family know she touched people even at work.

I really wish R was taking our order. We got the biggest airhead waitress. I know she totally undercharged us, and messed up the order at least 4 times. I know we said certain things that she didnt hear. I said cheesy grits, she heard grits only, Jeshua ordered his waffles light, they were well done, Phaeton wanted a meat lovers with mushrooms, and it came one piece of meat, no mushrooms. *shakes head* At least we didnt have to pay for everything. Even with all the messups I still couldnt only leave a penny for tip. I know they make their living off tips, and she may have been having a bad day or new. I didnt leave 15% though, closer to 10%.

We headed to meijers to pick up 2 things and then home so Phaeton and I could go upstairs to hang out, and the other 2 went to bed. Phaeton and I played cribbage, and watched some late night TV. I won the first 3 games, with one being a skunk, and Phaeton won the 4th game. We are usually more evenly matched. I guess the cards just liked me last night. At about 1 am we curled up and went to sleep. Now for some reason we are both up. I know for me it was a kitty laying on my belly. Bladder alert. :) Of course it was hard to move the snuggling purring melodie.

Now I am up and getting ready to start my day.

Plans for the day

Soon Caritas and Jeshua will wake up and get ready to head to work. I hear an alarm now. Once they are ready I will drive them to work and head out to run errands.

-food shopping at meijer
-food shopping at kroger
-getting gas at kroger
-pack and hang up clothing
-freak out
-maybe work out
-go to the bank
-get Caritas from work
-freak out once again
-get Jeshua from work
-finish packing
-freak out for the 3rd time
-get some sleep
-get up to start driving the 6.5 hours to Memphis

Yup, that about sums it up.

Day so far

I got both Caritas and Jeshua to work and then headed to do some of the errands.

I went food shopping at meijer
Spent $48.54, saved in coupons: $23.32, ad: $32.58, total savings: $55.90, and I got 75 items

I stopped at the post office and mailed out the 6 bills that needed to go out.

I went to Kroger and got gas, as well as a couple of items on sale: spent $6.68, total savings with ad and coupons: $17.58 (72%) Of course it was only 12 items there, and specific things, pizza, waffles, and hot dogs.

I have put most of the food away, had some lunch. I have to get Phaeton to come upstairs so we can pack some clothing and get at least that part packed. I have no idea what I want to wear. :)

Right now on my first freak out. Stressing, brain going every which way. Need to get focused on the next task. Packing the clothing. That is the next task. I need to confirm with mom she is coming over to feed the cats, pick up alittle. UGH!

Nap time

Bags are packed and sitting by the door. Most things are all set up and ready to go. I am alittle bit nervous. We have had snappish moments, but they shall pass. Bills got paid, money got withdrawn. Damn, I still have 2 pills to take tonight. Oh well, dont feel like eating anything. Plushies are packed. I should be sleeping. We have to get up in 4.5 hours to hit the road. I always feel like I am forgetting something when I go on a trip. This too shall pass. I almost forgot enough clothing. :) Got meds, phone card, money, credit card, licence, clothing, books, food, love, and life and good friends and great loves.

This will be fun, this will be good. Make it so.
