My car has been returned to me and so far it’s driving like a charm. No blinking engine lights or smoke coming from the hood! Just how I like it! They replaced a bunch of hoses and some other mumbo-jumbo crap, but whatever. Maybe I can get another 100 thousand miles out of this thing? Hah, right. I wish.

I’m glad to have it back though, I was driving Shawn’s car (a Dodge Intrepid) and it felt more like a boat than my little go-kart Beetle. Parking at work was like a 30 minute affair, and getting out of the space was even more work. The person in charge of creating our garage had to be plastered. Once I was attempting to get in a space and scraped the side of my car on a cement column. I was totally embarrassed but when I got out to look I realized I wasn’t the only one–it was covered in paint from tons of cars who cut it too close.

Despite having my own means of transportation, I’m working from home again today, sick as a dog. Shawn did it. He’s been sick for a week or two, called out 3 days of work and by the time he’s gone back I’m laying out. He thinks it’s the flu but I have no idea what it is, all I know is that my head is going to explode from the pressure build up. I can’t breathe.

We got a second guinea pig last night so Apple has a friend. We named her Data. Hahah I’m sure you all know who is responsible for that one. I’ll have pictures sooner or later.

I think I might head to Sonics for some fast food, I’m sick and someone’s gotta pamper me.
