If at first you don’t succeed; try, try again.

It’s been a long day. I don’t know why I thought it was a good idea to stay up until 3:00am to work for four hours, go to bed for a total of 5 hours, and then work my regular 6 hour shift. I think because of that I ended up sick, so now I’m in bed, miserable, with an aching throat, and not willing to move. Just ugh, really. I hate it. But at least today is Friday which means I have the next to days off, it’s just too bad I’m going to be spending those days cleaning.

I managed to grab season 7 of Smallville because it was no longer out of stock online, which completes my DVD shopping for the year. I also managed to hopefully grab Robby the Netbook he wanted for $180. I say hopefully because I am awaiting the e-mail, which I want receive until tomorrow indicating the order is ready for store pick up. I was so ecstatic when I saw it go back into stock online and then disappointed to find it was only available for store pick up and the stores in Phoenix did not have them. However, my persistence has paid off and a few minutes ago I checked again, just for the hell of it to discover it was showing in stock! I confirmed that inventory was showing two in stock, but that is assuming inventory is correct so I’ll find out tomorrow if they actually have it.

This concludes my Christmas shopping. Originally I was going to bother to put up a tree, but I figure, we have quite a few items coming in the mail, why not? Sure we know what they are but still, it would be fun. Besides, most who know me, know I hate surprises, and that I hate to wait to find things out, so this works out perfectly. Yes, I know I’m backwards but whatever. It’ll be fun to put the tree up with Robby when he gets home even if for some it seems silly since we know what we’re getting.

Well, I think I’m going to put in a movie and try and relax a bit. I’m determined to clean tomorrow so I should relax as much as possible now. It’ll be worth the effort in the end. I just have to keep telling myself that.
