i finally got to talk to my adjuster for the car accident; she was very nice, and had good things to say, so i’m feeling better. Lisa had already talked to ms. miller by the time she called me. ms. miller’s comments about the amount of damage to her car and mine were almost exactly the same, so Lisa thinks that, after the assessor looks things over, the final costs might not even be enough to raise my insurance rates. that would be so spectacular, i can’t even tell you.
been busy busy busy the last two days – wednesday i went downtown to get set up with the temp/placement agency, came home to change quickly, then went back to the studio to work some more; didn’t get home til almost midnight. then yesterday i went BACK downtown, paid my ticket (which was slightly traumatizing – not so much because of the people in the court house, but the fact that i’ve never been in a police station in my LIFE, and now here i was, down the hall and around the corner from the arraignment room, waiting to pay my ticket and thinking "dear God, i’m on the wrong side of a Law & Order episode!" (another thing i’ve discovered is that a disturbingly large pecentage of the people i’ve been in contact with this week either grew up in or still live in my town. scary … ) then i went back to the temp agency so they could make a copy of my passport. then i went to the title agency to get the title for my car FINALLY put in my name, since my mom never did it and never told me that i had to do anything. (GRR HISS!) then i went straight to campus, got some dinner, went to class, worked 45 minutes past the end of class, then went home, read for a bit, had some soup and went to bed.
i’m so tired and stiff … i’m going to go to the grocery store after work and get some good veggies, go home, put some whole-grain rice on to cook, grill some steak, and we’ll have a nice home-cooked meal for the first time since i made the miso soup (which was kick-ass, mind you…). then i’m going to take a nice long shower and then work on my monty python shirt for tomorrow.
>^_^< yay!!! i can’t wait! i’m trying to convince Jon to wear slacks, his python shirt, and a suit jacket since it’d be cute and go with my outfit of an evening skirt with MY python tshirt altered to resemble a nice top. i’m also trying to discourage him from wearing his kilt instead, because every time he wears it he invareiably ends up flashing someone purely by accident. that doesn’t mean much at the Playhouse, surrounded by season-ticket-holders, though. *sigh* oh well … if he insists on wearing the kilt, i’ll just have to make him VERY aware that he will either be SO CAREFUL of what he’s doing while wearing it, or i will emasculate him so he doesn’t HAVE to worry about flashing anyone. sound like a fair trade? i think so …
