The USPS can be really ridiculous sometimes.

Normally I don’t have problems with them, but now I am since I moved. We have a temporary mailman right now and he doesn’t deliver mail until at least 5pm (too late in my opinion). Packages that arrive via USPS have to be taken to the office of the apartment complex for residents to pick up. Yesterday, I found a note in my mailbox that there was a package. I went to the office this afternoon to pick it up, and was told by office staff that they closed before the mailman could bring packages in. I thought, okay, I’ll try again tomorrow.

Fast forward to about 5:40pm today, the mailman is still filling up the mailboxes and the office closes at 6pm. I open my mailbox to find the two books I ordered crammed in there. I really had to pull hard to get them out. They were paperbacks, and the one book is really bent up. Thanks a lot mailman. Just because you deliver mail way too late and are filling in for the regular mailman doesn’t mean you can ruin people’s packages because you can’t make it to the office in time. Here’s an idea, why not leave a slip in my mailbox so I can pick up my packages at the post office instead?

Ugh, I just needed to vent. There’s no reason for him to do that just because he was in a hurry.

Haven’t blogged in awhile

Mostly because I moved to another city and needed time to unpack, get settled, and adjust. I’m out in this city by myself so it’s definitely an adjustment. Some of the neighbors seem nice, but some are rather nosy. I usually am a private person and don’t bother anyone. I’ve been here for almost two weeks now, I like the apartment; it’s smaller than my other apartments were but I had to move as soon as possible. I’m really glad I don’t have to live with people screaming and fighting all night long, I won’t miss that one bit.

I have everything unpacked and the place is decorated, with help from my dad. I had no idea how to hang things on brick and concrete so I needed his help. I’m not a really handy person when it comes to those things. I also unfortunately had to have my dishwasher replaced already because I noticed it wasn’t working right. The maintenance guy came this morning and was pretty rude. He accused me of breaking the dishwasher (not true) and was cussing. I felt uncomfortable around him so I went to the office and told them I didn’t break the dishwasher and mentioned the cussing. The lady seemed shocked and said he shouldn’t have been cussing in my apartment since he represents the complex and that isn’t what they’re about. She also mentioned she’s had complaints about him before. I’m not one to get an employee in trouble or anything, but he was yelling “Fuck!” and “Jesus!” and I thought that was unprofessional of him. I’m also glad to know that I won’t be charged for the new dishwasher since they knew I didn’t break it.

Anyway, I’d like to go in the pool sometime soon. I hear it’s heated and I saw a little jacuzzi too. I tried to go tonight, but for some reason the lock wouldn’t open. There were other people there and they were just sitting and laughing, so I felt like an idiot and left. It sucks being the new girl sometimes, but it happens I guess. I think I may have to check with the office to see if they gave me the right key.

I don’t have much else to update on aside from the apartment, everything else is pretty much the same.

My Crazy Obsession

Has anyone seen this show on TLC? It’s about people with crazy obsessions, obviously. One episode I was watching was about a couple that spent over $1 million on cabbage patch kids. They treat them like they are real people and everything. To each their own I guess, but spending one million dollars on that stuff? So many people are just trying to make ends meet and it just irritated me. If I had that kind of money, I’d buy a house, a car, pay off my student loans, make donations, etc. Then there is another one also on TLC called My Strange Addiction which is worse, people put their lives at risk by consuming really weird things like cleaners, eating things that shouldn’t be eaten, etc. There was one episode in particular that was so awkward and uncomfortable, this guy was basically in a relationship with his car and made love to it.

I guess I kind of like wacky shows such as these because it makes me seem that much more normal. :))

Sinusitis, please go away.

I have had sinusitis for several weeks now, have seen two different doctors who prescribed me different medications. The antibiotics are not working and I’m still having problems. Saturday night I had to go to the emergency room because my temperature was up a bit and I had pain. I showed the doctor there what was prescribed that didn’t work, so he prescribed a stronger antibiotic (I have a feeling I’m resistant to them now), an anti-inflammatory medication, and pain medication. Unfortunately, the anti-inflammatory has prevented me from getting any sleep the past two nights. He said the pain medication should help me sleep but it hasn’t. He told me I should see an ear nose and throat doctor. I’ll have to try calling my primary doctor for a referral because I have a long history of these problems. Moving day is approaching, so I don’t know if I’ll be able to get into one on time. I just want to get better so I don’t have to be dealing with this during the move.

Great news, I’m moving!

I have not liked my living situation at all the past two years because of all the drama and stress, so I’m very glad that I’m moving and can get away from that. I’m only moving 30 miles away, so I’m still staying in Arizona. Yesterday I went and looked at an apartment, and loved the area. The apartment is a bit small, but with all utilities included I can make it work. There were other apartments I was looking into, but the area is not as safe. I wanted to be in the safest area I could find since I’ll be out there alone. I’m moving on April 7th so I don’t have a whole lot of time. Luckily I don’t have too much stuff to pack. There are just a lot of things to take care of like getting a part on my car fixed so I don’t have to worry about it, getting any doctor appointments out of the way, picking up things I’ll need, etc.

I’m just excited to start this new chapter in my life. :)

Too Faced Shadow Insurance

I picked this up at Sephora a month ago, and I’d say I’m not overly impressed. Many people rave about this product, but I guess it doesn’t work too well for me. If I were to rate it 1-5 (1 being the worst, 5 being the best) I’d give it a 3.

Has anyone used this and is there a better one out there?

Dating and being childfree

Dating is very difficult when you’re childfree, at least for me anyway. If a guy already has kids or wants them, that is a definite deal breaker for me. I’ve known from a young age that I never wanted to have kids, and I still don’t. My mind is not going to change because I honestly have no desire to be a mother, I also don’t really get along with kids well.

It seems like most guys wants kids, or already have them. One of my ex boyfriends really wanted kids, even though I told him from the start that I didn’t. We dated for about a year, and he started to bug me about kids. I told him that I didn’t want them and he knew this before we started dating. I ended up terminating the relationship, but that wasn’t my only reason. Later on I found out that he had two kids with another woman.

What I don’t understand is, if you truly want kids, why date someone who doesn’t? I guess they think my mind will change, but I can say with 100% certainty that it will not. I would honestly rather remain single than have kids that I don’t want to make someone else happy. I’ve tried the whole online dating thing, and that hasn’t worked out either. I could date a guy that wanted kids later on, but I don’t see the point because the relationship wouldn’t work out. I’m a serious relationship type of girl, so I’m not really into having flings because I’m getting older and would like to get married. I also don’t want an actual wedding either, but a civil ceremony. I’ve never been into fancy dresses and huge celebrations, I’m also not religious.

Hopefully there is a guy out there somewhere for me that feels the same way about all of this.

So I renewed this domain after all

I wasn’t going to, but I kept getting e-mail warnings about it expiring soon. I figured once it expires, I probably won’t be able to get it back. I’ve had this domain for four years, I just can’t let it go so I sucked it up and paid the renewal (with an excellent coupon). I put the other domain on eBay to see if I can sell it and get rid of it.

I have some ideas for a new theme (although this hasn’t been up long), but I have too much homework this week. I contacted my advisor to see if I could take a break before my new classes start, but no response yet. It sucks that a break has to be approved by the school when other schools give students time off. Once classes are over, the next ones start the next day. I’m so tired of homework! It’s constant.
