Today did not start well. I woke up to my alarm, thinking it was Saturday. I was quite disoriented and had to convince myself to get up. Work was work, but I had to leave work early to pick up my car from the body shop. On the plus side, they decided it needed to come out of my “uninsured motorist” insurance since it was a hit-and-run and so the deductible was a lot less. It was a nightmare taking the bus to the body shop, but I made it before closing (barely) and got my nice shiny car back. The deductible was less than I would have paid to have the car detailed, though I think detailers do a slightly better job because that’s all they do. In any case I was pretty happy.<\/p>\n
HOWEVER, when I got home, I heard a hissing sound and so I had to drive to the tire shop to have the tire patched. Not only did that kill an hour, but the tire guys grimed up my shiny car a bit. Ah well.<\/p>\n
