So tomorrow would have been my move-in day had Kappa Alpha Theta not closed my chapter exactly a week before move-in day. Now, I am relieved that I'm not moving. I have so much to do! And I honestly don't know how I would have gotten it all done without these few extra days.

For starters, the mom in the family I nanny for is a dentist, and when I found out from my orthodontist that I was going to need a root canal, she bent over backwards to take care of me and make sure I got with an endodontist that did freaking amazing work, and since he happened to be her good friend, she got me a FREE root canal! Okay...that is REALLY REALLY REALLY nice. I knew she was nice, but that was beyond anything I would expect ANYONE to do! I just felt like saying "thank you" or even writing a nice thank you note wouldn't be enough to express my gratitude. So I've been making her a family calendar. The son, who's fourteen, showed me where the pictures were, and I went through all of them and picked seventeen to use for the month pictures for the calendar--August 2006 through December 2007. And let me just say they are awesome at taking pictures--they have a gazillion of them AND there were SO many adoreable ones! It was really hard to pick out only seventeen. So I put several more on the cover page. So anyway, it's been a time-consuming project. Well worth it, but time-consuming just the same. I scanned all the photos I picked and cropped them to capture the life of the pictures, and then I saved them on my jumpdrive and took them to Copy Max to print, since their printers are much more capable of printing clear pictures than my printer. And then, fantastico, the freaking printers had something wrong with them so there were lines and blobs on several of the pictures. When I complained, they said they wouldn't be able to have a mechanic come in until Monday, but I was welcome to come after that and get the entire think re-printed for free. So there we go.

And then today my sister's car broke down while she was on the way to the doctor, so I had to go pick her up, bring her there, and since she was late, her appointment was postponed an hour and forty five minutes, so I went to her car and got it to start and then went and waited for her and drove her home. Another three hours--GONE! Crazy.

In the meantime, I have to clean my room, do mountains of laundry, pack, shop for all the stuff I need, get my camera fixed, get my watch fixed, and prepare for this coming semester. So...got a lot going on! I sure appreciate these few extra days.
