whooooooooooooosh

Woke up around 8, still tired, and happily went back to sleep. I didn't have to meet Alexis until 11, and I knew I'd wake up again at 9. Except for the part where I didn't. I rolled over and the clock calmly gleamed 10:35 at me. AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH. I launched myself out of bed and then ran in circles panicking for a second until I mentally slapped myself and hit the bathroom, fed Hobbes and got dressed. I had promised Alexis I would burn her a cd and bring it today, but there was no time. I was probably going to be late as it was. I called her to no avail and zoomed out the door.
I made it with a minute to spare. I apologized to Alexis about the disc and said if she wanted to, she could stop by afterwards because it would just take a second to burn. That was fine with her. We had a good workout and the hour flew (unlike last time where the hour stood still).
The concern for me was that my place was a disaster. I don't like it when people come over and my place looks like I am a slob. I may be one, but I prefer to keep this facet hidden from as many people as possible. But also, I was freaking starving. So I grabbed some fast food (I know, bad) and crammed food in while I drove home, then I ran around cleaning up as fast as humanly possible, my legs still in shock from lunges and squats.
Also, I got the cd burning.
Then the phone rang. I thought, it's Alexis! But it was a male voice, not entirely familiar, not entirely unfamiliar. Hrm. The caller said, "Hey it's me!" I felt bad but said, "Um... who is this?" "It's Jeff." *pause* "Jeff M?" "Uh, no... Jeff B." DOH! It was Ellie's Jeff. You know, my good friend for these many years. Who I never talk to on the phone. Em-bar-rassing.
They wanted to drop off the sofa cushion they'd asked me to sew up on my machine (their silly doggie chewed a hole through it). So I said now was a fine time. I continued to both straighten up and eat.
Then the phone rang. Surely, Alexis. But it was my cousin Mo, calling to wish me a belated and to chat. I told her I would call her back.
I wanted to test the cd, so I did that. Then Ellie and Jeff stopped by. Ellen hugged me and said, "This is my husband, Jeff. Since you need to be reacquainted with him!. Hee. We chatted a bit and Ellie said, "This'll be the last time we come here before you move!" In even more exciting news, Ellie has a friend who might want this apartment. And would want to move in on the 15th, which would mean I could get some of my rent back for December! Party. So I need to call Marie and make sure the rent's still $700. God, time is going to be so freaking tight, but if it works it'll be awesome.
As Ellie and Jeff were leaving, Alexis buzzed from downstairs. I thought they'd pass in the elevator, but stud that she is, she hoofed it up the stairs.
I showed her the disc and explained a few things. She meet the infamous Hobbsie.
And now everyone's gone and for some reason it's cracking me up. I still need to call Mo back. I wanted to clean my flat today and this was an interesting way to get a fast-track to it. I just need to toss some trash, finish some laundry, and rinse a few glasses. Not bad. Means I can spend the rest of the day chilling before going over to Sarah's. Hee.
