Annoyed

Today is my Friday! Yeah!!

Some people annoy me so much it makes me want to scream! I could be a mean person and put them in their place like they deserve, but I hold my tongue.

However, one day I'm for sure they are going to catch me on a bad day and I will unleash. But for now I hold my tongue.

Just wish some people wouldn't act like they are in High School. You are in your mid twenties so stop being jealous and trying to top the next person. Your life is easy. REALIZE THAT, UGH!

I'm going to get some work done now. Just needed to vent. Goodbye

My ear!

This week hasn't been so bad. Still urgent things to do like always, but no overtime. Thank goodness!!

However, my issue this week and some of last week.....EAR ISSUES!!!! I can't hear out of my right ear. First it started off like it needed to pop. Nope, never went away. Now it kind of tingles. My coworkers suggested it might be allergies or an infection....so off I go to the Ears, Nose, Throat doctor.

So Friday is FULL of doctors appointments. Yeah! :-(

I hope it's nothing major. I did have major ear problems growing up though. As I say it's not that I'm not paying attention to you, it's I probably that I can't hear you. :-)

I remember growing up putting cotton in my ears when swimming. Totally sexy! I even had to go to the University of Alabama speech department and being pulled out of English classes in elem school to have hearing tests and speech classes. All because I couldn't hear certain letters. Soooo for example I would say "abbit" instead of "rabbit".

Yes, I'm special. lol And to this day I still have trouble saying certain words, so I avoid them. I hate ear issues....I pray Aiden doesn't go through it.

DIY Project 3 & 4

I finished the headboard and added a couple other projects today...yeah yeah. I was suppose to relax but I was stir crazy.

Tools:
Stapler
Glue Spray
Foam
Batting
Fabric
Old door

I first took all the hardware off the door and cleaned it. Then I used the Glue spray to attach the foam to the door before I stapled it. I had to do this because I couldn't find a wide enough piece of foam. I didn't want the two pieces to slide apart.












Next I covered the foam with batting to make it soft like a pillow.










Finally came the fabric. The leftover fabric I used to recover the vanity stool. Now everything matches. I love how the fabric goes perfect with the bedding and wall color. I kinda threw everything together so you can see.








Price rundown. Door-free. It was one of the doors previously in the house before we replaced them all. Foam, batting, and fabric-$110. Glue Spray-$3. I borrowed the staple gun with Wes' Dad, so no cost there.
Total-$113.
Not bad at all!!! All that matters is I like the way it turned out. :-)



Project 4
Do something with our old green faded mailbox. Since I didn't want to buy a brand new mailbox that would require removing the old one and installing the new one I turned to spray paint. The other option was more expensive and too time consuming.

I should have taken a before picture. But it was green and the flag was no longer red but white. Needless to say it looked worn and abused.

Supplies totaled $4. Maroon and Tan spray paint. I used some leftover painters tape to cover up the flag and numbers when I sprayed the tan.

Results

Zombie

I am literally a walking zombie right now.

Work has been killing me. I don't know how they expect me to take care of three businesses all by myself after Roxane, my consultant leaves in November. AHHHHH! She's only been on vacation for a week, but it's been the LONGEST week ever.

Example for the past 2 days I have been working from 8am-1am! WTF!!!!!

It sucks that all 3 has CRITICAL aspects all at the same time of month...and of course all 3 had major issues this beginning of the month. Stand still issues. All everyone knows we are the beginning of the chain. If DP doesn't input their numbers nothing gets made, which means no money is made, which means everyone is always watching. UGH!

Literally, it was like the movie Swordfish when the guy had 5 minutes or whatever to hack into the FBI system with a gun to his head. That is what it felt like. I had 1 day to debug, re-code, re-populate and calculate everything. Along with my boss and the business checking in every hour. AHHH the stress. I'm so going to be getting some new lovely pimples. I can feel it coming.

I didn't even get to spend real time with Aiden last night. :-( Not cool at all. This weekend I had planned on doing stuff, but now that means I am either A. sleeping or B. playing with Aiden. NO WORK AT ALL FOR ME. Sorry house chores you will have to wait.
