Craptastic

My weekend was rather uneventful. I was sick for a big part of it, I still feel like crap now but at least it’s better than a few days ago.

Miffed
My table was to arrive yesterday; it didn’t get here on Saturday so I assumed Monday considering it was waiting at the UPS warehouse in Uniondale. I was giddy when UPS pulled up; I knew that the porch would finally begin to take shape, when the trucker moved his way up the stairs I was instantly disappointed. Kmart fucked up my order and sent me an Adirondack chair. I refused the order, called Kmart and asked what went wrong. When the chair gets back to Kmart’s warehouse I’ll be refunded for my order. I ordered the table again though, this time it was about $7 less than the previous order (thanks to Memorial Day sales). The new table is currently in route to my house, the shipping status hasn’t updated so who knows when it will get here. The thing I hate about UPS is they don’t give you an estimated arrival time, you basically have to wait for the status to say “Out for delivery”. FedEx gives you an arrival date, as well as the begin shipping date.

And speaking of FedEx…My laptop is on its way. The estimated ship date was the 25th but I got lucky and they shipped it out this morning. It’s coming from China though, and according to FedEx it will be here on Friday (May 26) at about 10:30 AM. I’m a little confused though, I’ve never heard of 3 day shipping from China, unless its being sent priority mail, something I didn’t pay for.

So either way, I’m going to assume that on Friday the table and the laptop will be here. I’m giving that a ‘general’ assumption though because I know something?¢‚Ǩ‚Ñ¢s going to happen to make the wait longer.

Patio
I went to Wal-Mart yesterday and picked up six chairs for the patio. I also made a quick stop to Path Mark Supermarket and picked up chair cushions. I didn’t get the ones from Wal-Mart because they were like $6 each and very ugly. The ones at the supermarket were $2.50 and rather cute. They fit on the chairs nicely and I’ve basically spent the last day outside enjoying them. I just can’t wait until everything comes together.

Weather = SUCKS
The weather lately has been so extremely annoying it’s unreal. I enjoyed the week of rain, I really did. I dislike all of the left over wind though. I don’t mind a nice cool breeze but when it’s gusts of wind maxing out at 35-40 MPH then it’s just uncalled for. I can’t wait until it stops being so damn gusty. Again, a nice little breeze is fine but Bella being blown over while she’s trying to balance so she can pee – is just not kosher.

Cleanliness in Krissyville
I went on a total cleaning spree this morning. My room (although fairly clean) is more like an organized mess that was driving me crazy. I’ve cleaned off my desk, I re-cleaned my closet too. I know I cleaned it out last week but I haven’t done my laundry in a week (before this morning) so there’s a lot of clothes that need to go back in there. I also cleaned out the section near my air conditioner, this way it’s one clean shot to get it out of there in a few weeks when it gets warm enough to have to put it in. It’ll only be used at night because I can totally see myself being either outside or in the living room for quite some time. I’m sure I’ll relax in bed watching TV and getting some work done but that’s at night and that’s just easier to deal with. I vacuumed, I cleaned out the kitchen and I even did some sweeping on the porch, not that it mattered considering all the damn wind put most of it back :grrr:

Computerness
I did some major cleaning out today. I got rid of about 10gigs of crap files off my computer. I burned all of my archived clients to CDs and I got rid of things I’ve been meaning to move for quite some time. I have two zip disks filled and ready to transfer over to the laptop as soon as I’m situated there. I’ve already setup the new router; it’s working like a charm. At least I think it is. The ports are fine, I’m just not sure about the wireless. The line is password protected so I don’t have to worry about someone tapping into my connection. I’ve opened up the “Shared” folders on this computer (with a password of course) so that I’m able to go back and forth and get the important files. It’s a hassle saving everything to a disk and then reloading, it’s called a NETWORK for a reason damn it.

In conclusion
I know I’m behind on all of my comment sites, but I’ve also placed myself on hiatus with them so I don’t have to deal with that right now. I don’t mind the sites but sometimes when I have to visit some teeny-bopper “Lyke…OMG!” blog it makes me want to put my fist through the screen. I’ll get around to the emails in my box when I get the energy to do it. I’ll also return the comments here when I get that energy as well. For now though, I’m going to find myself something to make for dinner and then relax in front of the TV for a little while.
