Various things:
1) I got my car back today. I'm sick of these 'it's the transmission' scares, but once again it turned out not to be. Instead it was some sensor and the total work cost $450. My parents made the executive decision to pay for it, and for me to keep that car. I'd been talking about getting rid of it now that it's running and getting some older car with a better track record (I'm still scared of the transmission going out, now that I've read so much about mazdas and band transmissions), but they say no, and so that means no. Yes, I pay for the car, but no, it's not in my name, so I'm kind of stuck like that. I did see a sign for a 93 nissan altima, with 139k miles on it and repair records for the past 4 years for 2k OBO. It looks just like my old car and I want it so badly :( Oh well. Everyone send good thoughts that my car won't break down again please.
2) I got yelled at yesterday because my fiance (like many men, and people in general) lets his feelings get pent up inside instead of letting them out when they happen. It was an aftereffect of our not getting to have our vacation and ended up with it being 'my fault' we didn't go, because I decided to take my car. He's since apologized, a lot, and all is better, and at least he recognizes why he gets so upset like that after things happen, and it's something he plans to work on.
3) My mom officially told me she was worried about me with my stress and stuff. I slipped and told her and my sis about how I get anxiety about riding in cars with others when I'm not very familiar with their driving, and that leads to me being afraid I'll get motion sickness, which actually ends up making my stomach not so happy. It's a weird scary spiral, and it sucks. I had to reassure mom that it doesn't happen all the time, just on isolated occasions. That made her feel better, but she says I need to take up yoga.
4) All my bridesmaids love the green dress that I found. So that's one more decision made and set.
5) The cats (we're sitting for my former roomie's cat too) have been peeing down the side of their box vs. in their box, and I had to clean it up twice yesterday. I went in the other bathroom last night and saw MORE piss down the side of the box, but there was tons of it! The freakin boston terrier went in there and peed to mark that territory or something. I was SOO mad.
6) I gained 3 lbs somewhere. Although maybe I lost it with my stressing out over my car trip this past weekend. I went down to sarasota with friends from school, got there around 6pm on Saturday, went to the wedding Sunday afternoon, and came back in the backseat of an old 2-door saab with no air conditioning. Thankfully it didn't rain and it cooled off a lot. I was totally grateful for the ride, but didn't get back until 3am. :p
7) I was going to run a session of my research study today and the internet wouldn't work properly and it f'ed up all the participants today. That sucked.
8) I'm finally getting paid tomorrow. I've gotten $100 over the past 3 paychecks, even though my prof worked something out to get me some extra money for summer. Because of paperwork stuff it didn't get to me until now, which is when my regular paychecks started back up anyway! Regardless, I get all that backpay + other money tomorrow, and it's huuuuuuuuge compared to what I've been getting.
9) D bought strangers with candy (the whole series) on DVD and it came in today! We have good show-watchin for this evening!!
Okay, I think that's it. Mostly not too great, but some okay. :)
