monkeybard: (don'tthinkso)
My week is insane. Did I mention that my week is insane? I was hoping for a quiet week with the man-cub out of town, but instead my week is insane. It was made more insane yesterday--an insanity that will carry over to next Wednesday, assuming that all goes well.

My car has been in four collisions in its short life. Three of those took place in parking lots while the car wasn't moving, and two of those times it was actually parked in a space. The most recent time--that would be the yesterday I mentioned earlier--the car wasn't even occupied. That's right. My poor invisible car was parked alone, not another car within 50 yards, when it was the victim of a hit-and-run in a high school parking lot.

Tomorrow, instead of going to the Tiffany exhibit at SAM, I get to drive over to Sammamish yet again (21 miles and a 40-60 minute drive each way in reasonable traffic) so I can file a report with the very nice police officer who works at the school. I will also take pictures of where I was parked, just because. I took pics of the damage today before going to the body shop for an estimate. (Just under $1400, btw, which the insurance company will apparently pay in full, thank all the little gods--but not the ones that should have been watching over my car. Those little gods can kiss my car's "sand drift"-coloured ass.)

My week is insane. It's lucky I was already planning to meet the Monkeys for drinks to celebrate Kasima's birthday. Unfortunately the pub only has Guinness in a can. I informed the waitress that this was a crime against humanity, and ordered a Moose Drool. Good, but not Guinness.

Did I mention that my week is insane?

I hate people. I hate parking lots.

Have I told you that my week is insane?

If I blog the bad stuff, it's only fair to blog some good stuff, right? Right.

The good. The cozzy I had for auction on ebay sold for $105. Colour me thrilled to bitty bits. :D I hope the woman who bought it gets great use out of it--unlike me. Once Nordic Boy gets home, I'm thinking I'll sell off the red Chinese brocade cozzy, too. It never fit quite right, and it's too big now, anyway. So it too should go to a good home. At least I got some decent use out of it first. It's quite gorgeous. Not a complete cozzy like the last, but all it needs is either harem pants or a skirt (or both!) to be complete.

More good. [livejournal.com profile] jenboo is kindly kitty sitting for me, for [livejournal.com profile] jaunthie for a few nights. I love those kitties, but they really need someone around more than I can be there right now. Poor M just sat on my lap for 20 minutes the other morning because he needed lovin'. Didn't even eat breakfast first. And J has gone into pout mode. :( Hopefully jenboo's visit will cheer them.

Yet more good. jenboo will be coming over for movies and dinner tomorrow. Yay! I believe we'll be ordering in, but I do not yet know from where. We'll just have to see what moves us at the moment, when the moment comes.

And a little more good. I'm cooking myself a fabulous dinner tonight. Steak au poivre with blue cheese sauce. Baked sweet potato. Sautéed shrooms and bok choy. Perhaps a spinach salad with dried cranberries, nuts, and more cheese. And some Yalumba merlot. I don't expect to finish eating it all tonight, but it's sure gonna taste good. And I deserve it. Oh yes. I so very deserve it.
