I had a productive evening today. By “today,” I mean yesterday, as I realize it is now past 2am.
It started wee early in the morning when I got to work at 8a. With some time to spare before court opened up, I called the company that’s doing all our association’s garage doors, and for the first time in 6-7 unanswered phone calls and unreturned voice mails, I actually reached a live person! Turned out I don’t even need to be home for the workers to come measure my door and then replace it, I only have to place the door on “manual” mode, so I made the measurement appointment for tomorrow (er, later today) and the replacement appointment for next Monday. I’m finally getting a metal roll-up door instead of that stupid old wooden door that gets waterlogged when it rains! Yay!
After work I drove directly to a hair salon across from my neighborhood to get a trim. My March short cut with the layers had grown out, and looks horrible in that in-between shapeless phase. They were able to work me in right away without an appointment, and the lady retrimmed my layers, gave me some long bangs, took a half-inch trim off the bottom, and I look MUCH less shaggy now. Totally worth the $16. Haha. I’m so not about the hair.
I’d planned to go to the gym, having not worked out since Friday, but fell asleep at home while waiting for the gym crowd to die down. After a restless sleep in which it was so hot that I flopped from one end of the leather couch to the other several times, left and went to a different couch by the open back patio door and returned to the first couch, I woke up a little before midnight and started some chores. I cleaned out, rinsed and changed the litter box, swept the cat area and kitchen, swept the garage floor, took out the trash, did some dishes. And now I have insomnia. I hope I don’t forget to put the garage door on “manual” in the morning. Eep!
glad that you made your time useful! It’s nice to know that I am not the only one, that will clean and odd times in the am…
I do that… if I have (stuff) on my mind…
yay to getting a new garage door
K – I used to vacuum pretty late in my post-college apartment, until a really angry neighbor ran up and banged on my door, saying she was trying to sleep early for an early meeting in the morning and my vacuuming echoed through her ceiling. That’s how I knew after that, that I could never live in a condo.
Jordan – I know, I’m excited. I hated having to run out in the rain and manually open the door cuz the water swelled the door beyond the capacity of the garage door opener motor.
i have too much stuff in my garage to just leave it in manual and let strangers come into my garage. what if they steal just one shoe from every pair of shoes that i own?? what will i ever do??
Oh no! Like all Asians, I, too, have a wardrobe of shoes in the garage! I guess I’ll just have to go right home after work to count them. 🙂
yay for good haircuts 20 bux and under! i went to visit westwood when I was in LA and since i hadn’t gotten my hair cut since november, i decided to get a trim. 20 bux with a student discount. they didn’t ask for my ID but if they did, i could pull out my CMU ID.

I have done that so many time, but normally I have my dinner in the over and wake up hours later with a very well cooked meal and insomnia for the rest of the night.
But looks like you had a productive night.
Mel – I don’t have a current student ID, but I have used the old UCLA one on occasion at movie theatres where the kid at the ticket window doesn’t look old enough (or smart enough) to know what a current UCLA ID looks like. Good thing we don’t look our age. Haha.
Vanessa – Ah yes…I remember your burnt fishy story now. =) What do you do when you’re up all night?
