Stress,Distress, & Garage Sales
Contrary to popular belief, I am STILL alive and thriving (not) here in the expansive piece of land they call "Blaine". It's like, I tell myself to remember to write down all of this stuff I have brewing in the old noggin...but then when I actually sit down to type it all out (like now)...I draw a complete blank.
Hmmmm.....
Ppmmhhhhh....
Ummmmm...
Welllll....
Yeeeaahhhh.
So I guess first and foremost...I've made a new CF friend!!! Believe it or not, I met him on myspace so I can no longer diss it anymore (well, at least not as much as I used to). Anyhoo, we're kindred siblings...me being the "Big Sis" since I'm 3 weeks older than him. It's like, I've met a lot of peopled with CF in my life...but they're just average ordinary people who I happen to have the same disease as. Tony's different. We've fought the same disease for the same amount of time AND we're on the same wavelength. He's getting an evaluation for a double lung transplant at Fairview in August. He is strong and brave, brave, brave! I mean, holy shit! It makes me feel all weird to know that that will be me someday. Dang.
Anyway, Lil' Bro' is a real cool cat that will be a long-lasting friendship.
My mom is here for the week. We're having a garage sale Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. Basically, I was all gung-ho about this a few weeks ago...bringing everything out to the garage and pricing shit...even going so far as to buy a booklet off the internet that will tell me "HOW TO HAVE THE BEST GARAGE SALE EVER!".
Let's just say the momentun has died a bit...like when I go out in the messy garage now and look at everything, I just want to turn right around and close the door behind me (which I normally do). I'm telling myself that "I still have tomorrow". Yeah right, you and I both know that I will not suddenly get a burst of natural energy and do everything that needs to be done tomorrow.
What I need is speed...or summa the white stuff (*winkwink*nudgenudge*). Anyone have anything for me? Crystal meth?? Anyone?
Teehee...just kitten!!!
Oh, also, my mom has done about a billion garage sales...so she's all hardened and bitter towards them. She was basically telling me that I shouldn't care so much about the signs. I was all like, "THE SIGNS ARE THE MOST IMPORTANT PART!!!!" If you don't have signs, NO ONE will come! And then I get all stressed about all the signs we'll need to put up, because there's so many intersections and twists and turns and stuff.
Whatever.
I'll let you know how it all goes. And if any of you want the Word file on how to have an awesome garage sale...please see me. I'll send it to you fer free if I like you.
