Not Here Yet *Updated*

Well, they're not here yet. Yesterday was sort of a sucky day for driving through Oregon and they only made it as far as Eugene. They are doing better today and are over all the passes now so it should be good. I'm still not expecting them to be here before say 9pm tonight though. They had to buy chains because apparently Oregon requires you to have them in your vehicle. No biggie, I can return them if not used (they weren't). But ooh, there's a catch. Les Schwab (the fuckers) won't let me return them until April 1. WTF????? Yeah because I may change my mind and go rent another truck to move again. Or who knows when you may need chains for tires that are 2 inches bigger than the ones on your car. Goody.
I've been trying to get stuff done. Such as laundry. I hate laundromats so of course I put it off for as long as I possibly could. All done as of this morning though. Maybe I can hold off for another 3-4 weeks for the next trip. I made peanut brittle this afternoon. I might make my peanut butter balls and some fudge too. Since I'm attempting to eat my body weight in sugar. Yeah, I do the emotional and stress eating thing. The ultra responsible person in me who is never late on my bills etc is just about ready to faint at how many times I've had to explain to creditors that I can't pay them yet. Enter the need for even more sugar. Christmas? yeah pretty much not happening outside of some decorating. I will probably put up my tree. Just because I missed decorating last year. Not getting everything out of the boxes though. I just don't have the energy for that.
Oh and last night my power went out. Like 3 times. It was a little stormy (rainy and windy) but didn't seem that bad. The first time it was like a minute. The second it was like 30 seconds and then it went out a minute or so later and was out for like an hour. Of course my house was pitch black. I have candles but didn't remember where the little lighter dealie thing is so I was digging through my work bag looking for my little pen light. Once I found that I was able to light my candles but they didn't offer enough light to do much by. Since there was nothing to do I ended up blowing them out again and just going to bed. Nice and early. And I was wide awake a 4:45 this morning. Ugg.
Maybe I should take a nap before they all get here.
Finally here at about 8:30. All is well. Sadie seems a little unsure of what to think of the new house, damn cats loving on her etc but I'm sure all will be back to normal soon.
