Whats I"m Up To

6.13.2003

Yeah yeah, I know what your gonna say. You'll say, "Hey Yanni I thought you said you weren't gonna do this anymore." I know I said I'd try to avoid this but again things happened that were fairly interesting, so I thought I might share them with you. Also I really plan on doing that Web Browser rant...I'm just really lazy :-P So here it is, a day in the life.

Just started out doing my normal wednesday which involves waiting for Ferro and getting comics, Zara's was gonna meet up with me and Ferro for comics. I was gonna goto this place to try and get a job after we finished that. Ferro of course had to go home and sleep ::sigh:: So, I start talking to Catherine online and find out she hurt her ancle pretty bad so she could barely walk, she was home alone, and her ice maker was broke so her ice pack wasn't gonna do much good for very long. I felt really bad, but since Ferro was expecting me later as was Zara since i had to tell her when to meet us when Ferro actually came around. After much pacing around, and realizing if I went to take care of Catherine, I couldn't goto the job place. So it came to the time when I called Ferro to wake him up, told him I couldn't go more pressing matters, and to call Zara and do whatever.

I told Catherine I'd be over with bags of ice after I went to the job place. So I go over to their hiring Trailer which has a big sign on the door saying "We're not doing it today Wed the 11th, but will resume tomorrow. Ha Ha," or something to that effect. So I was happy I could go over to Catherine's, but kinda ticked I came all the way over for nothin.

I decided to go the long way through the city, and I stopped at the Comic Store to see if I could catch Zara and Ferro, to at least say "hi". I did so, and left promptly. As I was driving and pulling onto a red light all of a sudden the car was jumpin around, so I pulled into the nearest parking lot. It was a flat tire...totally empty. Called Mom, called AAA. They came pretty fast, put on my doughnut tire. So then I called Mom to ask what to do at that point. Went to a nearby service place, they plugged the tire for $10 and change. Not really wanting to spend more, and now positive where the jack point was, I changed the tire back myself...just couldn't get the hub cap back on. By that point I was annoyed, hot, sweaty, dirty, and felt pretty defeated. I went home got ahold of Catherine told her what happened as she was a little worried.

Turns out a bunch of her crew showed up to raise her spirits, I asked if I could join..and after cleaning myself up, I went. We hung out there, they wanted to go buffeting so we went to some new Chinese Buffet. It was pretty nice. We went back to Catherine's house after and the rest evacuated, 2.5 hours later I came home.

We think Catheirne's ancle is just really badly bruised or sprained, definetly not broken. With any luck she'll be in decent shape for Saturday, god willing.

A rough day but also ended up being a nice day
At least we know I can change a tire now :-P
