Tonight I will bring you my new life updates.

Technology Meltdown

Last Wednesday my computer caught a virus. He is very sick and is currently undergoing operations. Please pray that he will make a speedy and full recovery. I decided to leave my computer at home and run scans on it to get rid of the virus (when I thought it wasn't "that bad") and I headed off to work. Only to find that my car had also chosen this glorious day to break down. The tires were squealing and I felt as though I were driving with the emergency break on. Needless to say my car stopped moving in the middle of the street. After coaxing and minor crying it began to go again. I managed to get to work and called my local car place in which I was informed that I would need to have my car towed or "drive a my own risk." Two days later I was told that my car needed new break shoes, new emergency break cable, and new wheel cylinders. YIKES!

Postal Service MIA

This week I also made a very disturbing discovery. For the last two months I have not been receiving my mail. My neighbor has been stealing it! No, I'm totally kidding... but really I have not been receiving my mail. Everything being sent to me has been "returned to sender." I have since called my post office and informed them that I do indeed live at my current address and that Yes, i would very much like to have my mail delivered, instead of hunting it down.

Planet Fitness

I have continued to keep up my workouts (though missing this past week due to the lack of transportation). Here are a few funny stories I thought were embarrassing enough to keep you entertained.
When you arrive you must tell the worker behind the desk your special number. They type it into their computer system where they are then shown a picture of you and if you match the picture they let you in. Well after checking in last Monday I was stopped by the worker as he said, "Amber? Amber?" Confidently I said that is not my name, my name is Randi. He proceeded to tell me that I had not given him the right number. Which absolutely baffled me because that is the number I have been using for the last 2 months. Well, it turns out that I have indeed been using the wrong number. In my dyslexia I switched the last two numbers with the first two. Ooops. So instead of admitting my mistake I just said to him that Planet Fitness had done a really poor job on the security end of things. Needless to say, Amber has been checked in double (for her turns and mine) and records show that I haven't worked out since January. Quite humiliating really... anyhow, I have my numbers right now.

Story number two starts like this. I decided to shower immediately after my workout yesterday and go to work. I stepped into the shower (praise the Lord for sandals, which I was wearing) and I smelled something really rotten. I looked down and almost threw up. Somebody had pooped all over the shower! Now I just want to take a minute and say how absolutely filthy! It is one thing to poop in the shower (which I think is down right gross) it is a whole nother game to poop in a public shower and leave it there! After showering, in a different shower I decided I had better tell the workers about this calamity. But here I hit a crossroads. 1. If i tell them there is a poopy shower they might think I did it. 2. If I leave without telling them they might see me leave and then find out there is a poopy shower and then really think I did it. And to make matters worse the worker that was working is this pretty cute guy who I keep hoping to meet and I definitely didn't want to meet him like this. (Actually for the record he came up to me once and started talking and then I began talking about calories trying to sound smart and he walked away.... but who knew if he remembered that...and I knew he would really remember this) But I did do the right thing and I informed Mr. One Conversation Wonder about the nasty shower. Would you like to know his response? and I quote, "Who keeps doing this???" I made sure I said it wasn't me pretty loud... which also could have made me look guilty... aw shoot.
