I got the call today that my Honda was fixed and ready for me to pick up. I had started to get used to the Kia – and the Sirius was pretty nice – but it was good to get back to my car. The body shop did a great job on the repairs and I was able to leave the rental with them for later pick up. Insurance covered all the repairs and the rental – which was nice and pretty easy.
I’ve still got a bit of “settling in” to do with my car – emergency pack in the trunk and umbrella in the backseat – but I’m good to go. I’ll make some calls tomorrow to the rental place and the insurance company to make sure there are no surprises.
The cat is finally doing better too. The “piller” failed terribly – the pills fell right out – but we got the routine down after a while. He’s now off the meds and seems to be eating well. I had him on some wet food for awhile, but he’s off that now too. Even when he’s healthy, he tends to eat it way too fast – and then throws it up. And while I’m pretty good at cleaning up cat vomit, it’s something I can do without.
He’s been sneezing a bit, but seems to be getting over that. I’m guessing he picked something up while he was in the hospital and I’ll take him back to the vet if he can’t clear it on his own.
And work is back to usual as well – though that’s less of a good thing. We’ve been working on an upgrade for the past two days and it’s not gone well. Tomorrow we’ll bring the users back in and they all – every last one of them – have my phone number. My misfortune prone student assistants have been more prone than usual and I had three gone yesterday – which meant I was on the phones for two and a half hours. I helped a lot of people, but didn’t get much of my regular job done.
So, things are back to my version of normal around here. I’m listening to some good music tonight and I’m planning on getting to bed early – after I do a haiku, of course. Only a couple of days left in the week and then I’m looking forward to the weekend. I think I’ve earned it.
