i return to work tuesday. i'm not certain i'm ready as i'm still quite sore, but i really don't have much of a choice right now. joey is laid off and my sick pay was only a fraction of what it was supposed to be. i still have to find out what went wrong there. even better? somehow one of my cats got roundworms. we blew $30 on meds for all of them, mixed it into their food and they all promptly stuck their noses up at it. so today we had to blow another $30 on different meds that were liquid. yuck.

i still have this goddamn cold. i had a nice little temperature going on earlier today so i just laid on the couch randomly shaking and breaking out into cold sweats. i called my wonderful surgeon's office yesterday morning to let them know that i am out of pain medicine, and they were nice enough to not call me back yet.

oh, and ever cooler? i got my car's oil changed today (cuz, yanno, i want to still be driving it in 10 years) and the guys reported that whomever worked on the front end fucked up the alignment and my front tires are very worn from it. great. this fucking asshole garage. i think if progressive decides to actually remedy this situation (yanno, the lifetime guarantee on their preferred shop's repairs) i'm going to a different shop. third time is NOT a charm with these assholes.

2009 - why, oh why, must you be doing this to me already?
