An incomplete list of things that have gone wrong this week

[moominmolly]

• Tried to go to workout and failed because I was shaky on my bike
  
• Went to office, food didn't help, so I decided to go home sick before 9 AM
  
• D pulled over by cops on the way to school with N and got a ticket
  
• Cops towed car for lapsed registration
  
• Found a tick on my body; freaked out
  
• To reinstate registration, I:
  
  • Paid parking tickets at the Somerville traffic office
    
  • Went to the RMV
    
  • Went BACK to Somerville to pay excise tax (from 2009, 2008, and 2007)
    
  • Got lost looking for the wrong address for the Cambridge parking office
    
  • Got the right address and paid Cambridge parking tickets
    
  • Went back to the RMV and got the papers
    
  • Got a ticket AT THE RMV for a lapsed inspection
• Got the car inspected
  
• Went to the doctor and got a prescription for antibiotics (I hate taking antibiotics)
  
• Went to Pat's (I hate Pat's)
  
• Got sent to the Somerville Police Department to get a claim check (I hate claim checks)
  
• Went back to Pat's to get the car (I do not hate the car!)
  
• Went home just in time to receive lovely gamer houseguests
  
• Got a threatening note about my license being revoked if I don't pay a fine I owe, which I'd forgotten about
  
• Ate wheat and had a body rebellion
  
• Got a $100 parking ticket for parking within 10' of a fire hydrant
  

And that was just Monday. Tuesday and Wednesday had similar hijinks (my car insurance is ALSO about to lapse due to inattention on my part; had to call everyone in creation to get someone to pick up N yesterday due to traffic awfulness, etc etc etc). Then I had a lovely evening with aroraborealis last night, but left all of my stuff, including housekeys and car keys, at her place.

Many things have also gone right -- spike loaned me his car and removed the tick and helped me go to Pat's, redheadedmuse was serendipitously able to pick up the kid from school and take her out for donuts, I cleaned the car out and now it looks lovely, my boss has started passing me awesome job listings, dilletante has been super gentle with me - but. But. Today is cordially invited to be better. Also less expensive.

those are good things. i get the rage and wanting to throttle people yesterday, but in general they're making _me_ happy these days by being much nicer to drive by. i am sure i won't feel the same if i have to actually go into the office ever.
