Friday vent - first world problems entirely.

Woke up this morning to a broken shower. Normally wouldn't be a huge deal, I can go a day without showering until the plumbers can come in - except that we're doing our engagement shoot today! And paying too much for a bunch of pictures of me with greasy hair seems like a waste. So in between meetings and the million things that go on in our busy season in higher ed, I've had to take 2 trips home to let in plumbers, and both times I've come back to the office to an obscene number of messages.

Also, our cleaners came this morning - they're supposed to come every 2 weeks, and haven't come for 5. After our shoot we've got friends coming to town for the long weekend, so the house desperately needed cleaning, and FI and I have zero time. I practically had to beg our cleaners to find time for us. Saw the place after they left - completely half-assed job (dust on all surfaces, only half of the stove was wiped down, and they didn't clean the upstairs bathroom at all), and one of them very clearly took a massive dump in our guest bathroom. So now I need to find a new cleaning company, and deal with firing the ones we've been using. Which I definitely don't have time for, between craziness at work, wedding planning, and volunteer obligations (working long-term with homeless children, so quitting/taking a break isn't an option).

FI made a joke the other day about hiring us a nanny (we don't have children). I'm starting to see the draw.

  • I had my hair and makeup done for my engagement photos.  I actually ended up paying $50 for a shampoo/blowout for my rehearsal dinner too!  Is that an option?

  • @luckya23 You're a genius. I've been so frenzied all day, that I was stumbling to think of other options. There are several salons on the way home. *phew*
  • The gym was freezing.  I had to wear a sweater at work.

    Also, the last teacher in my class took the little 3 drawer cabinet under the desk and hadn't brought it back yet, so I have nowhere to store my pens and lip balm.  How the fuck am I supposed to teach Tues with no drawers??

  • I discovered at 6pm that my shower drain is leaking into my garage!!

    Of course the plumber just said "Call me Tuesday morning and I'll see if I can fit you in."

    And I'm going on vacation Wednesday morning, with a dog sitter staying here!

    If I had to do it again, I would have made hair and makeup a priority for my engagement pictures. We had to reschedule a few times and I just didn't have time and I hate how I look in them. If you can find a salon to get you in someplace and then stop at Macy's and buy a mascara and get your makeup done?
