i had such a good, productive start to the day… it’s now almost eleven, at night, and i’m sitting here wondering where the hell my day went and why i didn’t manage to accomplish anything of substance.
well, laundry’s done and some dishes, but i didn’t clean the shower or wash the car or go shopping or vacuum. you’d think having a six-thirty a.m. start would have gotten me more psyched for action. i think being rudely awakened from my nap by the fire alarm trouble alarm (go figure) going off when the power to half the city went out was the catalyst to an afternoon/evening of sloth.
i had to leave the building, after assuring myself it wasn’t on fire, just to get away from the ear-shattering beeping of it. so, i drove around, assessing the extent of the blackout but couldn’t convince myself to shop or spend money (i blew my wad at the casino the other night).
tomorrow, the car goes in for an oil change at 10 a.m. and then i’ll take it in for emissions testing. if i pass, i’ll go renew my insurance. if i don’t pass, i’ll want to go get drunk or run it off a bridge. i’m really hoping right now… i don’t know what i’ll do if i don’t pass. i really can’t afford any repairs. maybe steve’ll be able to do something to help tweak my exhaust just long enough to fool the sensors. bleh. i need to stop thinking about that. i can’t do anything about it and dwelling will only ruin my sleep.
i’m starting to get nervous about “the date” this saturday. yikes. a date!
Maybe you should date the mechanic. Seems to work for me.
oooh, a date!
<high fives>
Goddess’ emissions test passing tip: I’ve failed the emissions test on the first try before. I bought some of that fuel injector cleaner stuff that you put into your gas tank, put it in the next time I filled my gas tank and ran the whole tank through before taking it back to be retested. The second time around I passed with flying colors.
Hey, what’s up with this date? Did I miss something?!
you haven’t missed anything, yet. it’s not until saturday!
i must have missed whatever paige missed. you didn’t say anything about a date before, did you? who is it, huh huh?
i didn’t? i thought i did.
doesn’t matter, i’m not saying anything else until it’s over. and maybe not even then. =)
*cough* It’s not with Jason, is it?
*lol*
no.
