Printed the ticket

Well, I printed the itinerary, not the ticket... I Guess I get the ticket when I go to the airport and scan my bar code.
At any rate it's now set in stone and it would set my mind at ease if I could get a phone number for one of my cousins in Scotland but at least I have their street address.
They did say to come on ahead. I'm assuming they said that after reading the itinerary I sent. I know it's bad to assume, but... well, worst case scenario, I have to take a train to East Kilbride. I'm guessing I can figure that all out.
I'm sick... I want to go to a doctor but it's Sunday, I just want to lay in bed. Are those walk in clinics open on Sunday? I bet they are. I'm also afraid of getting something worse by going there..such as SWINE FLU better and more affectionately known as H1N1. Someone said "H1N1? What is this, DROID flu?"
That cracked me up.
Spent some time with that maybe future roommate guy yesterday. He seems pretty fun. A little bit spacey, but that's ok. however I don't think I'll be riding in his car again anytime soon.
He's got an ok older import BUT the windshield wipers are falling apart, and I'm pretty sure we took our lives in our hands driving me back in that downpour. lol
I met his landlord. I know I would like it there BUT I can't get past the fact he has no internet or cable. I don't know if I can afford to pay that extra ... in fact I'm sure I can't. Unless he comes up with an alternate plan such as we split a cable/internet bill, I dont see how I can swing it.
Right now I pay 350, everything included. Granted, the a/c is shit. And the internet is ...iffy sometimes. The fridge doesn't work too well. There's a dog tied up in the kitchen.
however, I'm going to pay 300, plus utilities, plus some kind of internet hookup. Twenty more if I use my cell as a modem. Sixty or so more if I get a hookup.
If only I could get him to go in half on internet.Maybe I can.
I think I need high speed for school this fall. I'm pretty sure dial up would drive me insane although he said it wasn't as slow as dial up he said it wasn't as fast as DSL.
Maybe he can let me try out his laptop and see how slow it is.
I'm excited about Scotland and finally , C is out of my head. I had a few days of insane rambling thoughts but it's all under control now. *whew*
I wonder why my 8 key isnt sticking now. It was for a while and now it's not.
I'm so not wanting to go back to work tomorrow. I so wish for that week off NOW. It's so hard to go in there knowing how hot it is going to be by the middle of the day. and the flies are getting bad despite the screen door. I fear he's going to make us shut the screen door soon due to the fly problem. At which point it will be even hotter. And his second hand smoke will be even worse.
This guy sees nothing wrong with smoking in his office while people eat out in the dining room thinking they are in a smoke free place. He sees nothing wrong with me working in that airless, hot room and not having any prep space and no one ever mops the floor ..that's what the flies are attracted to no doubt..the floor in the kitchen which I can only mop on Mondays. Because I'm the only one who does it and that is the only day we're not open at night.
I am so burned out. I'm glad i have Scotland to look forward to!
It was so funny when possible future roommate dude came into my room to check out how I live. He poked his head in and , thinking it was my ROOMMATE's room, said "Is she a PUNK?"
I said "that's my room. I'm a punk, you gotta problem wid dat?"
LOL
