What a day. It didn't start off with me feeling like I just wanna crawl back into bed. But it is sure ending like that.
Took mom to get a massage for shoulder pain. Cassie and I were kicking it at Starbucks, waiting for her, and I was scripting cues and looking at my $100 from training to make sure I was hitting all the required compulsories for BP to be ready for my taping tomorrow. Ran into Kristin and Deb, chatted for a bit. Took mom to In-n-out (now she's hooked), went home, and put in a load of laundry.
Was talking to Alex on the phone about tomorrow's details and walked into the hallway to check on the clothes in the dryer and found the entire hallway soaking wet! literally squishing with water. I freaked out, hung up the phone, stopped the washer and started pulling towels out. What a mess. Something must have snapped underneath cause the hoses that were visible looked fine. It's a small stackable in the hall closet, but the washer must have been full when it broke. The adjoining closet, everything on the floor, wet. The water went into the master bedroom, through the wall into our closet, in the bathroom.......Franklin and Alexander started scooping water up while I ran to my mom's to get her carpet shampooer. Figured we could use it to suck up all the water. Well, I spent, literally, the next 3-1/2 hours passing that thing back and forth, back and forth. It worked, sucking up excess water. Franklin had to leave for a soccer game so Alexander and I took turns passing the cleaner back and forth. While he was doing it, I was cleaning the rest of the house, which was my original plan for today since I was not able to work out in preparation for tomorrow. Then I had to clean the tub because that was where we tossed all the dirty water. At least I got a shower in but I feel like I worked out, with all the work I did today. Now we have several fans and a space heater going. I'm amazed that the carpet feels like it will be mostly dry by tomorrow. Have not heard back from our landlady though. Will need a new washer for sure. This thing is really old. Sigh. Now tomorrow afternoon I will be spending it at the laundromat doing the rest of our laundry. UGH.
So, trying to be optimistic, I am hoping for a better evening, as I can finally sit and relax for the rest of the evening. But alas.........I go to look for my gym bag to prepare it for tomorrow and I can't find it. ????!!!! It's not small, it's fairly large and purple. And it's not where I normally drop it when I come in the door. I thought maybe I put it in my bedroom, or with all the panic of the water damage and moving things around, it was placed somewhere else. Or it was still in the van. Franklin and I looked. Everywhere. By now I am starting to panic. EVERYTHING is in there. I took it to work yesterday because I was going to the gym after school. Then Alexander's game began later than I thought so I went to watch his game instead. I remember thinking at school that I better not forget it because I need it for Sunday. So I am 95% positive I took it from school. It couldn't have gotten stolen from the van at the soccer game; my laptop was there as well and I have that. When I arrived home last night, Cassie had fallen asleep in the car and so Franklin and I made a trip inside with all the crap I carry around - my purse, my bag, my gym bag (so I thought), the groceries......then we went back to get Cassie. I have a memory of me slinging it over my shoulders........but I can't find it.
The only thing we can think of is I placed it on the ground near the car as I was trying to get everything out, and left it. To be taken by someone during the night. Either that or I really did leave it at school, which I highly doubt.
The good thing (the only good thing) is that I have time in the morning to go to school and check, then Radio Shack opens at 10:00 so I can go and buy more cables to connect to the stereo system. I had in that bag the cables for both San Carlos and San Mateo, my iPod (Franklin's old Nano), my Shuffle, a pair of earrings, my BP76 release (seriously crying over that one - I only have my chorey notes because I was using those), my gloves (now I have to get through an entire class without them which will suck because my hands are sore from gripping that shampooer for several hours), 2 or 3 changes of workout clothes, snacks, my running journal, my Group X employee manual....thank goodness my outfit for tomorrow and my good shoes were not in there.
I am just sick about the whole thing. Not to mention I had this iPod all Kristy/shuffle-proof. Now I have to take Franklin's iTouch, go buy new cables, and get to the gym on time.
I know I am thankful that it was just stuff. Not my school laptop. Yes, I am tired from the physicality of my day with the water. And that whole situation could have been worse. So, I am thankful. But I am feeling incredibly forgetful and stupid right now, for not even realizing I didn't have my gym bag until now. I usually bring it inside, and unpack it/get it ready for the next day before I go to bed. I didn't last night because I knew I wasn't going to work out today. So I didn't even think about it until later.
Sigh. More stress, then to be mentally ready to be taped tomorrow.......I just want to go to sleep and wake up and have everything all better. Pray that I find my bag at school or someone returns my bag. My name/info is nowhere in the bag so the likelihood of that is...........Sigh.
