Can I play that day over?
Aug. 4th, 2005 11:45 amOk, quick update before I have to get ready and take the bus to work.
Yesterday I had an eye appointment at 10:30. I found out that my perscription hasn't changed in a year and a half (though I think that has a lot to do with not wearing my glasses for the past month). I also finally learned to wear contacts and in a week or so, if I practice with them, I can get my perscription. After a bunch of stuff and things and having to make Jessica bring my purse over because I'd forgotten it. I finally got out of there with glasses paid for at about 1:30 or 2.
I drove, feeling ill and aimless. Not quite ready for work, not really wanting food but starving... so I went to Good Times. They did not, however give me fried when I ordered a combo, and made me pay for my honey mustard sauce.
I realized this as I was driving away, but was planning to just go into Path and clean my rooms after a brief lunch. Then as I was changing lanes just after the college and laurel intersection, I hit someone. Yep, there it was, my first ever car accident. I merged and they were in my blindspot. One which I thought I had checked, but because of the new contacts or whatever else, there it was. I panicked, we exchanged insurance info and stuff, they were a bit shifty and took off. I tried to start Hokuto... and couldn't. And couldn't, and couldn't. And then the police (who I guess the lady in the passenger seat had called) showed up. I had shoved Hokuto off to a side road and he helped me push her farther. I called Arella to ask for a ride and he started taking information. I had to call the insurance company to tell the policeman that yes, the car is insured, just like that very expired card says it is.
Also remembered that I need to re-register my car. ALl in all it took well over an hour, I think, maybe closer to two. I appologize to everyone I called or talked to, I was emotionally overwraught. I don't remember anything that I wrote on my statement... but I know that becasue the other car had left (and only came back after he called them), I didn't get a ticket.
In the end, I went to Green Hall to tell them not to destroy my car (it's in 30-minute parking... not the nice z-parking on the other side of the road >_<). Then had Arella drop me at Path. Called Jamie again, did a pretty minimal job on my rooms (18, 11, 8, 13) - 11 now has just two cats in A-a and that's all... so it wasn't bad at all. I hate 13. The calm of cleaning helped a little.
I walked to Corina and Thorin's when I was done. I had an overwheming urge to get ahold of Tim and just yell "In the FACE!"... because he would have asked, and I would have explained, and it would have been good. Anyway, Thorin was a darling and drove me to pick up my shiny new glasses, and then home. We stopped at King Soopers to get food first, but that was mostly unremarkable.
At home, I remembered the toilet, so stole the common house plunger to fix it. Loaded the dishwasher and ran it, in an attempt to lessen the kitchen mess (didn't work).
We played Settlers, and I'm sorry that was so bitter. I lost pathetically just because I did. The games were fun. And watching the entire table team up to see if we could collectively help Craig beat Corina before her next turn was neat. But really, I shouldn't have been interacting with people, I was too out of it and overwhelmed and I'm sorry you all had to deal with that.
I went upstairs with Corina around 1 to watch BukiMyu, but I think I fell asleep before the end, because I don't remember the ichinen in aprons.
Waking up today has been hard and slow, and thank heaven I gave away all my rooms today, because I think getting something done about Hokuto and getting to work will be about all I can do.
I work 2:30 to 10 tonight, anyone want to volunteer to give me a ride home? I don't think anyone else lives north. ~_~
