Five for Friday: Random Happenings

Some strange things have happened this week. Some gross things have happened this week.  Some frustrating things have happened this week.  And, in no particular order, here are some of them:

1. There has been a man in a car watching the building I work in.  He is parked across the street and just stares over here all day.  He'll leave for a few hours a day and then come back.  Our night crews have said that they've seen him at 1am.  It's...creepy.  And unsettling.  A couple days ago, my boss called the cops, but they never came.  Yesterday I brought binoculars thinking that I'd spy on the spy that is spying on us (go ahead and try to diagram that sentence).  We work in...well, a seedy part of town, so it's especially weird for this to happen in this neighborhood.  My coworkers and I spied on him a little yesterday and learned that he isn't spying at all...he's LIVING in his car.  Apparently we're all just that paranoid.  And now I'm sad that someone is living in his car so close to me that I am confronted EVERYDAY with the fact that people do sometimes live in their cars. 
2. Jayna has a slight cold that she's had since sometime on Monday.  I took her to Summer's house and told Summer on Monday morning, "Hey, I think she's getting a cold."  I mean what am I supposed to do?  Take off work everytime her nose runs?  I only wish I had that kind of sick time.  So then Summer tells all the parents and kids who play with my nephew, "Hey, Jayna's got a cold."  Do those parents even remotely TRY to keep their kids away?  No way!  That would be too easy!  I think Summer just figured they didn't mind because...wait for it...KIDS GET COLDS.  Yesterday one of the neighborhood boys came down with a cold and had an asthma attack.  Summer asked where he was and the mom said, "He got that cold and woke up to an asthma attack.  In the future it would be good if you'd tell me if anyone at your house is sick."  Um...I'm pretty sure that, "Hey, Jayna's got a cold." means that someone at Summer's house has a cold.  I'm just saying.  And this weather is THE WORST THING ON EARTH FOR PEOPLE WITH ASTHMA.  I have many many friends with asthma who even have trouble just walking to their cars.  The heat index and the air quality will do that to asthmatic lungs.  It should also be said that Jayna hasn't been around any other kids except the ones in that neighborhood.  For all I know one of them could've given it to Jayna.  Stupid people.
3. I came to work yesterday morning and it seriously smelled like something had died in the office.  We work above a warehouse and it isn't uncommon for us to get mice every now and then.  We were sure a mouse had died behind or under something.  We looked everywhere.  And I mean EVERYWHERE.  We even took paneling off one wall.  It was only then that we determined that it was on Chris' shoe the ENTIRE time.  And we believe it to be...HUMAN poo.  I feel pretty bad for whatever made that poo...it needs to see a doctor stat.  This was the grossest and funniest thing that happened ALL week.  Chris kept saying, "It's strongest RIGHT HERE."  Then he'd move and say, "No, it's strongest HERE."  Well, it was strongest EVERYWHERE because it was HIS shoe!!!  Hahahahahaha!!!!!!!!!
4. I've had a pretty rough week.  Mentally and physically.  Wednesday evening I did NOTHING except play with my kid.  She's growing up too fast and I feel like I'm missing it on account of cooking, laundry, cleaning, work, etc.  And then I go and add real estate school.  Yikes!  I had an epiphany that night that if I decide to not use my real estate license that I'll be okay with that.  If I do, GREAT!!  If I don't, oh well.  I've learned alot already and made some new friends.  It's been worth it, but I really don't think I'm cut out for 2 jobs.  I have enough trouble with one.
5. I seem to have made a new friend this week!  I went out with her and some other friends from high school last weekend and we have learned that we have very similar senses of humor and such.  She graduated a year after me and we even had a couple of classes together, but we weren't really friends.  We're getting to know each other and it's weird for me.  I haven't made any new friends in awhile and she's a welcome change.  I still love all my old friends, but new ones are awesome too!!  Now if I had more time to see them ALL...

See?  Very random.  But a list nonetheless. :)
