Tom, my pharmacy manager called me today as i was leaving the house (jon was driving me to work) and told me not to come in to work. so weeeee! I have an extra day to study for my anthro exam and my pharmacy board thing.
I have been pretty busy with work, and mostly studying for my exams that seem to be every other week. I just finished writing my project proposal for my annotated bibliography which is due the same day as our exam. go figure.
lately we have been hanging out with kristin and meghan and a bit with hinkle and emily. I got to see kristin and meghan's hall for the wedding. it looks very cute in there and i know the whole thing will be great.
in the mean time I had to take my car in to get an estimate and yesterday we dropped it off for its appointment on monday. I'm not going to have a car until some time on wednesday. that is going to cost about $1400, but i pay for $500 of it for my deductible.
the last big snow we had I was driving to work and getting off 94 at rawson, some guy decided he wanted my spot (the line was solid when he crossed, not dashed) and just cut me off. now it was all snowy and icy and i hit the breaks and my car started to skid all over and fishtail. I just missed hitting the guard rail and went into the ditch, spun around 180 and ended up about 6 inches from the light pole. eventually a sheriff came and called a tow truck, by that time my dad had gotten there and i was towed to a gas station ($156.49), I had 2 flats so we filled my tires and i was able to drive home. unfortunately the seal along the tire was completely blown so i needed a new tire ($53) but I was ok, which is the important part. it was quite scary though.
last week my cousin michael gave blood, felt woozy so he went home from school. as he was driving he blacked out, hit the back end of a car, then hit the guard rail, and totaled the car. he is ok though, no injuries. he blacked out though because he did not have the required cookies and juice after giving blood (he pretty much refused it). he also hadn't eating in the morning so he was pretty dehydrated, etc... silly boy, my dad gave him a little talking to.
my aunt barb (michael's mom) had surgery recently, and is back in the hospital with 3 blood clots. she is doing ok for now, still in the hospital for a while though. jon and i visited after work on thursday and brought a balloon, a big flower, and a really cute card. I think she was really glad to be visited.
last weekend we also saw frozen at the rep (good) and then went to see the wizard of oz at the pac. it was accompanies by an orchestra. they were so good i often forgot they were there. we also ate at cabaret which was yummy and I had a really good drink with Baileys, white cocoa and vanilla vodka.
