Animal attack

Yesterday, when I woke up at about 4pm, my day started rough! Here's my rough go of it:

Reese was stressin' about finishing her portfolio so she can student teach. We had to see a house at 7pm. I needed to go running. I also needed to eat, which I have little time for as it is. The job I applied for seems to be stuck in limbo. All of this accompanying my usual gripes about the price of gas, the mileage I put on my car driving to Pittsburgh every day, and tending to the needs of five kittens.

Then, after I realize I can't afford the house we just looked at, I come to the conclusion that my "new job" is moving further and further from my grasp. I haven't heard ANYTHING from either Human Resources or my would-be new boss in WEEKS. I was under the impression that they were filling the position starting Monday, October 23. Who knows, anymore.

So I've pretty much drug myself down about as far as I can go before I head out to work at 11:15pm. Midnights... bummer... Anyway, I must have walked back and forth to my car about a half dozen times to get things I had forgotten on my way out the door. After I finally get in the car and head out, I put on some old ass relaxing tunes and make for work.

Its dark out. I rarely speed in my car. Its brand new, and its not like it was built for speed anyway. I'm literally less than a mile away from work when a deer jumped off a hillside and lands on the very front of my car. Ugh. It didn't do much damage, just popped the grill out and left a thumb-length crack in my plastic bumper cover. Nothing great, but I'm still pretty pissed. I baby that car, and still I end up with a beat car.

Lookin' forward to tomorrow when I can just relax and figure out how to fasten my grill to my car without sending it to the shop for another few weeks. Rough day!

HILARIOUS that you mention that. As soon as we got back from viewing the house at 7:00, I immediately made a hot fudge sundae - half of which is still in the freezer!
