I'm quite amused that you and Kev got SF, while I got Sacramento :)
Been thinking of you. Maybe I'll try to drag myself out of the house tomorrow? You busy this weekend? I need to go walk around somewhere, stretch my legs, get some sun. My skin looks wayyy too pasty for June. And a few hours not sucking on paint fumes would be good. The bloody car broke down again, so probably not leaving the house with my mom this weekend at the very least. I think over the last few months my mom spent almost $1000 on repairs, the WRONG repairs mostly. The first place said it was the battery, so that got replaced, (and also 2 tires, which did need to be done, and I think maybe an oil change or something). It broke down again. So then another place said it was the alternator, and it damaged the battery supposedly, so we got an alternator AND another new battery. CAR NOT FIXED. So then my mom is talking to a guy at her church who's a mechanic, and also one of Cody's friend's mom's boyfriend who is also a mechanic, Carl. Carl thinks that the starter may need to be replaced, and that there is also probably something loose between the starter and the battery, one of those wires that's hard to get to. So, I guess he's going to look at the car on Sunday, I think.
I told my mom if it does turn out to be the starter or just a loose wire, she should go back to those other places and ask for her money back, because that stuff didn't need to be fixed. What do you think?
My goodness! First let me say that I'm sooooo sorry I didn't get this sooner! It would have been much better to have gone walking with you yesterday than to have done what I did. I slept all day after taking 4 Tylenol PM, again. We need to get together pronto! Are you busy tomorrow(monday)? I have some things to do during the day (If i sleep properly), but I'm free in the evening. How are you sleeping?
Your Mom's car sounds a lot like mine! I would definitely see about getting some money back, especially since she bought TWO batteries and that probably isn't even the problem! I hope that dude does look at her car today and sees the problem so she can get it fixed once and for all. I also hope it is something relatively simple that won't cost an arm and a leg. You never know, sometimes the things that cause the most trouble and are the hardest to diagnose are the simplest to fix...
It's torture not having a car.
I'm looking in to getting an office job at Army Depot. Are you interested? If you are then maybe we could check it out together. I just REALLY, REALLY don't want to go back to cashiering full time.
My sleeping is a bit odd again, but I'm sure we can hang out sometime in the evening. Today I went to sleep about Noon after being up for quite awhile, and surprisingly just woke up at 8:15p (although I did sleep pretty well). I don't know if I'm going to get sleepy early or late Monday morning, I guess I'll try for early. ;) If the car was working I was hoping to maybe go see the 1st showing time of X-3, but I guess I'll continue to wait a day or two. You can come see it with me if you want.
I really need to go make myself apply for jobs. You'll have to tell me details on that job, but I might be interested, it would be nice to not have to be on my feet all the time for a job. And possibly interact with much fewer people. I still might go make myself apply at Starbucks though, I've always wanted to try a coffeehouse job, and maybe they give you big discounts on their drinks. Although drinking those all the time would totally sabotage my weight loss. Well, unless I seriously started exercising regularly.
Hmm....I think I'm going to be manic ditzy girl again today. I must be near a period, I always get freakishly cheery before those.
