Mess of a week!
Feb. 14th, 2025 11:00 am*screaming into a pillow*
It's been a hectic week.
Monday the apartments were doing random inspections, supposedly of only ten units. We drew the short straw, again.
They inspected part of the unit, but did not go to the bedroom/bathroom part of the unit. Then they gave us a "failure to comply with lease" warning, saying that we have two weeks to make the rest of the unit accessible or face eviction.
( It isn't inaccessible! )
Then we had to replace our TV.
( Annoying. )
I ordered a gift for Alex for Valentine's day, and it made it to Denver last week... before mysteriously being sent to Pueblo, where it's now been stuck for days and days. So... I probably need to get him something else while I start a postal claim for the lost item. But since I didn't get paid until today, I wasn't able to do that in advance...
Further limiting... I am flying out of town today.
The company that Taylor works for does an annual "holiday party" that is actually generally a weekend vacation of some variety. They get to bring a plus one, and I've been Taylor's for a few trips, now. :) Several years ago was when we went to Austin. Last year was a fancy hotel elsewhere in Colorado. This year is scenic Scottsdale, Arizona! The trip is today through Monday.
I'm excited to hang out with Taylor and my mom (who works for the same company,) but I am less excited to have to fly.
Now I'm just hoping I can find something nice for Alex while I'm in Scottsdale. :/ Which I was going to do anyway, but now it has to do double duty of souvenir and belated Valentine's day gift.
We'll celebrate on Tuesday once I'm back, but... now we also have to spend that time on apartment nonsense. (I was hoping that we'd be back at a reasonable time on Monday, but we won't be back until evening. :/ And when we have to deal with that apartment stuff is not ideal timing for me to then be gone for four days.)
My heart is breaking for a coworker going through some horrible health stuff: his own, which involves leukemia coming out of remission, and the drug they want him to take to treat it costs $16000 per month, and then his wife "feeling unwell" and going to the doctor turned into a stage 4 liver cancer diagnosis for her, and they've now been in the hospital for nearly a week with her.
Plus the apartment worry has kept me up almost all night multiple nights in a row with just churning anxiety, and I've had a headache that I can't quite shake for the last few days, and considering how badly it spikes every time I move and how many times I've just been unable to say words or express complete thoughts over the last few days I'm afraid it's a migraine (even though I haven't been totally incapacitated), AND on Wednesday morning I had one of the worst nosebleeds I've had in years, followed by an even worse one on Wednesday night that I was *almost* concerned wasn't going to stop... I feel like I'm a mess!
I am looking forward to the trip, but am also painfully worried that I will struggle to enjoy it, because I'm so anxious about everything else! I'm going to try very hard to have a very fun few days away, then a very fun belated Valentines with Alex (the plan right now is Indian food!) and then really try to get all the unfun nonsense dealt with.
