3 sinus infections in one week is less than pleasant.  :-\

I think I'm allergic to myself...

In one week? Are you sure it's not just all one sinus infection? How could you get rid of it within a week anyway?

(Sorry you feel bad. That sucks.)

What's there to investigate about it?

Apparently, the insurance company was investigating whether I was an attorney or not. They have confirmed that I am an attorney and have rented me a red Ford Mustang until my car can be repaired. And the insurance company is being really nice.  Unfortunately, nobody know if my car can be economically repaired.

When my car got side-rammed by someone who ran a red light, it took them months to go through arbitration. I assume the other driver's story was just removed from the truth, and her insurance company preferred to believe her. It came out in my favor eventually though.
Oh, so that's what non-lawyers get to go through. Somedays, it pays to be a lawyer.

Curse you!

(My insurance company was nice to me—though not Ford Mustang nice—and it was only my $500 deductible I was waiting for from the other insurance company.)

So... my mom called to tell me that my brother was in a boating accident at Lake Powell on Fri night. His shoulder got pinned between a rock and the boat. (He was trying to keep the boat--which had too many passengers in it I might add--from running aground.) The result: a fractured collar bone.  :(  owwww. Not good. We're hoping that the boating insurance will pay for it. Now he's got his right arm in a sling--and, yes, he is right handed.  :P

Also, I've been sorta sad the past few weeks because two of my bestest pals are moving away; one to NY to join the NYPD and one to LA to start a Ph.D. in forensic psych. Awesome opportunities, that's for sure. But dangit I'm gonna miss them.

I've been having stomach pains that have been getting worse and worse.  I went to the doctor and they did a bunch of tests, but they were only able to figure out a bunch of things this isn't.  It's getting so bad now that I'm having trouble doing the day to day things I need to.  Sigh.  My husband just changed jobs so I'm hoping once his new insurance is in place I can go see a specialist and get some help.  Until then, I'm just whiny.

normal commute day: get dropped off in Roselyn from a bummed ride, walk a mile to courthouse to get to work

Today's commute:


today's commute: leave late, so only bummed ride I can get takes me to the Pentagon, where I discover I have no wallet with me and thus can't pay for a ride on the metro to courthouse, which leaves me walking something like 5 miles, I think, at the tail end of the summer's first real heat wave

i'm soaking wet and it's not remotely pleasant
also, for the last 2 miles I had a blister on the bottom of my foot, and I could feel the juices in it being pushed around as I walked.
Google and Mapquest tell me that's 3.1 miles, but I think they're yanking my chain. It felt like five, at least.

anyway, I'm unhappy today. Somebody have a smoothie delivered to my office or something.

I'm tired of having my neck being readjusted every couple of days. I don't like hearing my neck go "snap, crakle, pop." Can't it be done just once, stop the pain and be over with?

Why can't my freakin' doctor's office return my messages?  Do they not think that I'm in enough pain that they have to add to it?  I shake my tiny fist of rage.
