The One About Inori

This is bad.

I left work after midnight last night due to some emergencies. Thank God I live nearby and my kind boss sent me home.

I love my job. I don’t mind staying late. But it does wear me out sometimes.

Today (Sunday) is was my off-day and I had planned to go to church. Since my boss lived somewhat nearby, I thought of hitching a ride from them to church (they attend the same church! ). But I guess they were too tired too. And I was also too tired to move my lazy butt off the bed. Snoozed till 11-ish and decided to wake up.

Then, I decided to go out to look for crucial items with my dearest sister;

Crucial item #1: Jeans. My current Giordano jeans I wear to work has a HUGE hole at the right knee. It was a small hole at first and it just ripped open as time passed. Minkie loves to run into this pair of jeans’ from the bottom right leg and come out through that gaping hole. (-___-”)

I didn’t think of getting new jeans because having a hole somewhere is quite fashionable, isn’t it? But yesterday, I felt a teeny hole at the buttocks area. (-_______________-)

No choice. Look for affordable and comfy jeans then. *Shrugs*

In the end, I didn’t buy any. Because I couldn’t find one that was comfy enough and I spent more time looking for Crucial item #2 than a pair of jeans. I guess I would have to wear my Levis’ ones to work from now on. Which I hate coz they are thicker, which means I will perspire more, and heavier, which means I have to carry extra weight while WORKING.

Crucial item #2: I hope Nad doesn’t read this part. I went to look for something for his birthday. Lulu and I must have walked around town 3 times or so to the different places which we thought would sell this item. I even called up big-brand-companies to check their stocks. Nadah. Nadah. Nadah.

All of them told me the same thing, “Sorry, no stocks left. If we order it for you, the fastest it can come is in 3 months time.” (-____-)

3 months won’t even be in time for a wedding present. Let alone a birthday present.

When it drew closer to 7pm, I told Lulu that I’m giving up the search today and probably call up more stores before actually going down on Tuesday. Either that or I have to purchase it online.

Then, we went to Jan’s place to collect Nad’s birthday card. Which I bought a week ago. Which I stupidly left in Jan’s bag for God knows what reasons.

Therefore, we found ourselves in a heartland mall near Jan’s place. We decided to look for ideas for Crucial item #3. So we headed for Popular Bookstore.

However, Lulu wanted to show me how an electric baby grand piano looks like. So instead of heading straight to the bookstore, we detoured around to the music store. By doing so, we had to walk past a teeny tiny small little store that might carry stocks for Crucial item #2. Since this store’s other branches, which Lulu and I have already been to, did not have the stocks either, I only went in to satisfy myself, that I’ve done my best to search for it. So I went in and asked the counter staff.

A nice lady went to search for the item and a nice gentleman keyed in the item in their system. He told me, “Ok, hang on Miss.”

In my mind, I was thinking, “He’s going to tell me there is none left. And I have to wait for 3 months before they can bring the stocks in.”

Before he could reach his colleague, she pulled out THE ITEM and passed it to him, and he passed IT to me!

Lulu and I almost screamed.

Damn you, Jan. If we had gone to your place earlier, we wouldn’t have wasted so much time looking for it. Yes. We blame YOU. You and your heartland mall. *mutters*

Hahaha. Just kidding. So we went to Popular to search for Crucial item #3.

Crucial item #3: Materials for making our wedding invitation card.

Most of the stuff for my wedding will be made by either me, my mom, Lulu, Janice and Mer. This includes the invitation cards which I’m so dead now coz they haven’t even taken their form yet and I have to send them out SOON. *Pulls hair out*

Anyway, this heartland mall’s Popular only had one packet of the shiny card left. So we went to Jan’s house first before going to another heartland mall and this time round, we got 10 packets of shiny cards, 2 packets of nice paper, 1 packet of silver string, 8 packets of envelopes. *Beams*

I shall work Lulu’s ass off in helping with the cards.

We went home for late dinner after that and chatted with my mom for awhile before coming back home. (Err, I have 2 homes…..) The dogs have not pooped. So I had nothing to clean up after. Thank God for little mercies. Was so tired today!

So yeah, I’m exhausted. Because work is tiring. Running around to get stuff for the wedding is also tiring. And my tuition kids are having their final year exams. I have to go for extra lessons now.
At least, in 2 weeks time, I can take a break from giving tuition for awhile and concentrate on the wedding.

And in an estimated time of 5 months, I can really take a break and be a housewife for quite awhile! (I mean, a stay-at-home-playing-Final Fantasy 12-house-wife).

Hey! I think I deserve it!

Sorry for the literary diarrhoea.  Am in a surprisingly good-to-write-boring-stuff-mood today.
