Don’t blame Canada this time, blame the Swedish! Yep, went to the evil store today, but I feel like I scored, since I NEEDED something on which to put the TV (it was too big for my plastic units), and I got a pre-assembled unit for less than I would have paid for one that would have required actual WORK. Of course, now I’m stuck with the dread chore of moving things around to make room for it! However, there’s a silver lining, since it DOES have a drawer, thus meaning I can retire the Joan Jett bag and start using it as a regular bag again!

Got rather peeved at the cellphone store today, however, since I waited for nearly an HOUR at AZ Mills (which I don’t dig, anyway), waiting to get my firmware flashed. Get back to the store, where I find out it’s going to be another half an hour, when I have a doctor’s appointment in 30 minutes….HELL to the no. Wound up going to Tempe Marketplace after I finished at the doc, and now everything is groovy except for the fact that I can not yet get Visual Voice Mail to work. Bastards.

For all my concern about my bloodwork, Dr. Alcantar was very pleased with the results. Apparently I was “slightly” dehydrated that day (It was ONLY 120 degrees, FFS!) and he wants me to come back in January for a protein check, but I am neither anemic nor lacking in vitamins. Life is good! (Even though I started my period, such propitious timing, considering I had a Pap YESTERDAY! Still, at least it means I can start my pills on Sunday)

Spending was rather high today, unfortunately. $15 copay at the doc, $38 at IKEA (TV stand and a PRECIOUS stuffed weasel that I’ve wanted for over a month),$3 on diet soda at QT, $4 at Weinerschnitzel, $15 on an MP3 player, $23 on thrifting (3 leopard print throw pillows, a stack of books about country music–including one about GRAM PARSONS!!!, a pair of shorts that had never been worn, and some treats for the kids.)

I must remember, tomorrow, to schedule time off for the LA Guns gig here in Tempe! I am soooo excited!!!! AND tonight is the new episode of South Park, so I’d better get cracking on moving the TV and such. Dear Lemmy, please let hooking up the cable be easy……
