Stupid week
It's been kind of a rollercoaster of a week. I'm glad it's almost over.
On Monday, my car broke. It was odd. It kind of stalled, and although you could turn it on, it wouldn't stay on. The key would just switch off again. Nick took a look at it and it seemed to be the ignition switch. Which was a recall. So supposedly Acura would pay for it to be fixed.
After the dealership told me they wouldn't pay for my car to be towed over there, I SHOULD have waited for Nick to wake up and look a little closer at it. He would have found the problem (it was electrical) and fixed it with a $100 part. What happened was, I arranged for my insurance to pay for a tow and ended up paying 3X that amount so THEY could fix the non-recalled problem. Ugh.
Then Wednesday, we went to our home inspection. Looks like it's a good, solid house. :) Only problems are: 6 shingles that need to be fixed and the oven needs to be fixed. Homeowners agreed to do that. I'll post some pictures of this house after closing. We're really excited about it!
And today Michael Jackson died. Holy shit! I was at the gym, on the elliptical and the news said he was being rushed to the hospital with some heart problems. 20 minutes later, Katii (Friend and coworker) texts me saying 'Michael Jackson died of cardiac arrest!'. I'm still trying to absorb it.
I know he had a lot of personal problems, but he had so much talent. I remember my childhood friend Tim and I dancing around and singing to Smooth Criminal, Beat It, Thriller... Remember when Moonwalker came out? I thought the Smooth Criminal part was so badass. MUCH better than Thriller. :)
Sad.
