yesterday brought news that my beloved car has not been totaled, and in fact is estimated to be back in my possession by the 30th. i was caught a bit off guard due to the pleasant nature of the woman i spoke to, especially after my last adventures with body shops. i refer you back to my journal circa august - october 2008. these people actually seemed to know their shit, unlike the last place that seemed surprised that my car was even in their lot - no one had seen it come, it had just appeared according to one the the begreased ratchetmen. henry does have a mystical air about him i suppose. maybe its all the día de los muertos decorations or the dethklok sticker. or maybe because he looks like a giant toaster. the jury is still out on that.
oddly enough mere days before henry's savage near-demise i had the tires rotated and found out that the last body shop had performed a less than reprehensible job on the alignment, and that the tires had been worn accordingly. i can't help but think that the act of rotating the chewed tires to the back of the car aided in joey losing control of my usually winter-stable vehicle. i keep thinking to myself that it should have been me driving. i was sick, am still sick as a matter of fact, and didn't want to wake up at 5am to drive to mansfield, so i told joey to just take my car so i could get in a few hours sleep before he and nik got home because we were supposed to make cookies. i ended up making cookies later in the week to cheer up a friend instead.
yesterday also brought news of a new president. some guy named hussein something i think. just kidding, don't hit me - i'm fragile ::looks nervously at
anmorata::. i happened to catch that, as well as the chief justice roberts chewing up and spitting out the oath of office. i imagine i would probably have put my foot in my mouth too in front of 1,000,000+ people as well as the rest of the nation watching or listening at home. actually, knowing me, i'd go to let out a silent fart and end up with a full-on butterfly butt-flapper thoroughly mic'd and broadcast. that's right, it's that kind of party up in this bitch.
keeping with the absurd: ( RAAAWR!! )
can you tell i'm up with insomnia yet? that and my GERD has been getting really bad so laying down is not fun.
( work woes )
today is supposed to be my day off. god i hope it stays that way.
