Erin (11:26:26 PM): Okay! So my DAY OF MUCH SUCK.
Erin (11:26:38 PM): Woke up!
Erin (11:26:46 PM): Took a shower! All is good!
Rainee (11:26:57 PM): That part worked OK!
Erin (11:27:30 PM): Make bed, grab stuff, head out door. Opt not to grab breakfast, cuz, well, don't feel like it, and I can just grab lunch when I get after class. Toss on sandals, per normal! Hop in car, go to class.
Erin (11:27:35 PM): All still just fine!
Erin (11:28:23 PM): Go to class, get an A back on first interpersonal relations test, due to prof's crazy liberal grading scale where A starts at 85, bringing my 87 quite nicely into A Range.
Erin (11:28:26 PM): Life is good!
Rainee (11:28:37 PM): Wooo!
Erin (11:28:43 PM): Leave class.
Erin (11:29:35 PM): Justin tells me we have to go at least make appointment for car to get looked at, as we've had squeaky brakes for a week or two by this point, we were waiting til we had the money to deal with it, but mom found out and was like mraaaaa get it looked at now we'll pay you can pay us back mraaaaa. So fine.
Erin (11:29:52 PM): This is about 12:30-ish.
Rainee (11:30:05 PM): Oh dear.
Erin (11:30:45 PM): We go to place, get there at 1. Ask 'em about getting an estimate, they're like.. hey, fine. Leave it here, we'll get it done. Justin> We have to have it back by 3:30, I have to take my sister (who be scheduled 4-11) to work. Them> Cool!
Erin (11:30:48 PM): So we leave the car.
Erin (11:31:04 PM): And are stuck out by Wal-mart with no car!
Rainee (11:31:11 PM): Fun!
Erin (11:31:14 PM): Justin> No big deal! We can walk to Mike's house!
Erin (11:31:28 PM): Mike be friend of his who lives a mile or two away. Cool beans and everything.
Erin (11:31:34 PM): We start walking.
Erin (11:31:39 PM): Me wearing sandals.
Rainee (11:32:14 PM): Eugh.
Erin (11:33:05 PM): At some point during the walk, I strain my toe or something, so that even now, if I lift my big toe on my left foot, it hurts. Whatever. Me, to Justin, on the way> Uhhh.. If we get the car at three thirty, we can't stop by home, how am I gonna put on shoes that I can wear to work cuz sandals is nono? Justin> Uh.... You can borrow mine.
Erin (11:33:19 PM): Me> All kinda eeeeeew, but whatevah.
Rainee (11:33:35 PM): Ick.
Erin (11:34:18 PM): We get to Mike's after 40 minutes of walking. Play videogames. Around two-ish, car place calls back. Tells Justin what's up with his car, he tells 'em cool, and to go ahead and call mom and tell her what's up with the car too so we don't have to. We start walking back to car place.
Erin (11:34:35 PM): About a quarter of the way BACK, Justin realizes he has a message on his cell from mom that he didn't notice.
Erin (11:34:52 PM): He gets it. Mom apparently told the car place to go ahead and do the work. Car will be ready around 5:30.
Erin (11:34:55 PM): Me> O.O
Rainee (11:35:05 PM): .............
Erin (11:35:17 PM): Justin and I call mom. MOM, ERIN HAS TO BE AT WORK AT FOUR.
Erin (11:35:58 PM): Mom> All, oops, I forgot. I end up calling work, telling them I won't be able to be in til 6 cuz of car problems. Thankfully talking to the supervisor who really liketh me. That's settled. Cool.
Erin (11:36:19 PM): We walk BACK to Mike's. (Oh, and by this point, I'd traded shoes with Justin cuz my toe was hurting.)
Rainee (11:36:26 PM): Ewww.
Erin (11:36:37 PM): We wait, dad comes picks us up, we come home briefly, you get to talk to me for .3492834 seconds.
Erin (11:37:30 PM): Dad and I go to fetch car at 5:15 ish. Which is roughly FIVE MINUTES before I would have to leave home to get to work by 6.
Rainee (11:37:46 PM): Euuuugh.
Erin (11:37:50 PM): Car fetched, I drive off. Get to work and manage to clock in only 5 minutes late.
Erin (11:37:54 PM): I was all go me.
Erin (11:38:32 PM): Oh, and when we played videogames at Mike's I also had a few cookies. That, added to a couple of Cheetos I had in the car on the way to the car fixing place was ALL I HAD EATEN TODAY at that point.
Erin (11:39:13 PM): So I go to the return desk because that's where they needed me. Cool beans. Thank GOD it was really slow up there, BECAUSE I was crazy lightheaded because of my lack of foodery.
Rainee (11:39:14 PM): Eeeep.
Erin (11:39:20 PM): Until I get my break.
Erin (11:39:22 PM): At 9.
Erin (11:39:34 PM): When I grab some chips and a bottled frappuccino.
Erin (11:39:51 PM): Feel much better. Tho am still limping around kinda cuz of my toe.
Erin (11:40:11 PM): Store closes at 10, I start working in earnest at getting the returns desk cleaned up.
Erin (11:41:35 PM): Go to go to the customer-side of returns desk in order to sweep or something. Decide not to open the chain and walk through and close chain again. Decide to go OVER chain.
Erin (11:41:51 PM): Left leg goes over chain. Left leg hits ground. Go me.
Erin (11:41:56 PM): Right leg tries to go over chain.
Erin (11:42:01 PM): Right foot catches on chain.
Rainee (11:42:02 PM): Oh dear.
Erin (11:42:19 PM): Erin falls face first towards concrete floor.
Rainee (11:42:25 PM): !!!
Erin (11:42:32 PM): Erin catches herself with her hands!
Erin (11:42:41 PM): Erin wretchedly pulls her left shoulder.
Rainee (11:42:48 PM): >.<
Erin (11:43:10 PM): For about ten minutes, Erin can't really LIFT that arm sideways with elbow bent. But it clears up albeit still stiff.
Erin (11:43:25 PM): Erin still manages to clean up returns desk to the point of serious kick-ass-ed-ness.
Rainee (11:43:32 PM): Woooooh!
Erin (11:43:34 PM): Erin gets to go home.
Erin (11:43:46 PM): In parking lot, send you text to remind me to tell you about said day.
Erin (11:43:48 PM): Drive home...
Erin (11:44:00 PM): Miss turnoff onto Durango, have to do a U-ie two blocks down.
Rainee (11:44:20 PM): Ugh.
Erin (11:44:44 PM): Then get home without incident. Then have to help Justin with a computer problem. Which I fail to resolve, tell him I'll figure it out tomorrow, come here, get on, tell you story. The end.
