I'm a bum
I got my car back on Tuesday. Sometimes it's good to be a girl. I managed to get them to take 15% off the price since I called them out on raping me with the hours they charged for labor. They tried to charge me for over 2 hours of labor when I know they only worked on my car for 45 minutes. They had the gall to try to tell me to pay the full amount to "reward" the mechanic for finishing faster. BULL SHIT !! If I do an eye exam people won't pay me for two of them just cuz..... what a load of crap !! So, 250 bucks later I got my car back. Grrr
Since I had Tuesday through Friday off I've been a major bum all week. I've been reading, running, threw in the pilates DVDs a few times, cooked, ran errands, and basically made up any excuse to get out of the house. It's been gorgeous here weather wise since tuesday and I've had all the windows open all week. It's so nice to sit on the couch at night and read with a nice cool breeze blowing in from the bay. I'm going to miss that when I leave.
Wednesday I met the girls from Dr thames office for lunch. Nothing majorly exciting.. just catching up on office gossip and what's going on in everyone's lives. (which is especially important to me since my favorite optician joyce passed away suddenly in December of an aneurysm). It made me realize to tell everyone in my life how important they are to me.
One of my friends in Houston just called. She's up late. She called me in tears... and I hate it when that happens and there's honestly nothing I can do. I could just listen to her and be there. I wanted to be there to give her a hug and tell her it'll work out. I'm not sure it will... but at least she'd have a friend she could see. I don't want to write out the details cuz people that know her read this.. so I'll leave it at that. Hopefully she knows and understands that I'm there for her anytime she needs me. :) i'll check on her tomorrow i'm sure. After what we talked about earlier in the day on AIM I felt like such a scmuck.. I was telling her all about the gift I'd just gotten in the mail from my boyfriend and didn't pick up on the clues that she was hurting and that last thing she needed to hear what how happy and excited I was. (But, that stuff's hard to pick up over IM.... )
So, now I just send her the ability to sleep in peace..
Tomorrow Greg flies home from Chicago. He's been there all week on training seminars for work. I'm sure they were enthralling. He's called a few times which is big for him. (he hates the phone as i'm sure i've mentioned NUMEROUS times) it's especially big since he has no cell signal in his room and has to go outside to use it. The gift he sent me is fun... and I'll be sure to be wearing it when he gets in tomorrow night ;)
Back to my book...I'm still waiting for my first book order to come in from booksfree.com. It had to come all the way from VA so I guess it takes a few days. I'm excited. I love books.
