Another first... Yesterday, I officially, for the first time ever, had to deal with having a vehicle towed for leaving the car in one spot for too long. Where? Longs parking lot, Santa Rosa. I was chilling at a friends house overnight, where there is no visitor parking, or any non-business parking closer than, I'm "guestimating", a 10 min walk away. I showed up 2 hours after it got towed. Did I freak out? Nope. Found the parking lot guy, got the number and address of the place my car got taken, walked the 1.6 mi to my coffee shop, on the way calling people I know in the area that had vehicles. Less than 2 blocks from the coffee shop, I remembered someone I'd forgotten about,and quite weirdly, he was already on his way to the coffee shop and got there about a minute after I did. So I got a ride for the remaining distance, which I knew I wouldn't make on foot (it was very hot, around 100 degrees), as the last few blocks to the coffee shop were starting to get difficult for me. So the place had my car maybe 4 hours, but tally that with what they charged for the tow itself, it cost me $251 to get my car back. Now I'm borrowing money from my mom, but even after paying her back next month, I'll still be financially fine. My friend feels bad, but I don't blame her. If she'd known that would happen, she would have said as much. On the other hand, Longs has pushed one of my buttons. The parking lot was half empty and I had one of the furthest spots from the actual store. I'll will forever more consider them parking lot Nazis, and I definitely won't shop there again.
In other news, my ex who pushed me into my psychotic break at the beginning of the year sent me an email today... "There is this girl i think u would like. Shes one of my friends. Anyway,do u think u might wann meet her? Maybe we could all go out? I was telling her bout u n she keeps buggin me 2 meet u. Anyway, let me know." And I basically said in response, Is this a trick your wife put you up to to get revenge on me since she failed at her attempt to lure me into some kind of trap by trying to convince me she wanted to cheat on you with me? Oh, I don't think I ever wrote about that. The "wife" tried to get me to meet up with her to "cheat" on my ex with me, but ended up just telling me she wanted to meet up with me to push me into a psychotic break and land me back in the psych ward. So now I'm intently waiting for a response.
In better news, I finally beat the original Sonic The Hedgehog and am now over half way though Bully. My cat's butt is better. All I got left is to smooth out a dent on the crap car, then wash it, and then it will be ready for painting. I got the apartment to myself for a week, mommy went camping with her bf. I finally finished all the labels for my "boss". My hair is almost long enough to stuff behind my ears. And I'm finally coming up with the logic I need to convince myself to forgive some people of my past.
