This weekend has been.... Interesting. Chinese Curse Word Usage. Not bad, just interesting.
Thursday was the root canal, which went well. Little mix-up on the payment plan, was told that as long as I brought in the paperwork they'd originally given me, they'd honour it.
Friday, in pain and not wanting to drive way east, I faxed the paperwork over. They said yes, that's what the lady who left told you, but we can't honour that/extend you that much credit, and we need $300-350 right now. Or a secondary credit card number.
What.
Cleaned out the checking account to pay off part of that $300. The rest to be taken care of later. Asked what I could do to prevent this in the future, and they said that it was entirely a mis-communication on their end, nothing I could have done. *facepalm*
What is it with root canals and finances?!
Friday night, while recording the Detective Conan World Podcast, my plugged in, charging iphone, took a swim in my mug of tea. Said mug is one litre. Said iphone is no longer working.
Fortunately, pulled it out by the cord and didn't shock myself. Personally, I think it heard that I was thinking of switching carriers and getting a droid.
Saterday, cleaned out savings to get a new phone, and discovered that Target had android tablets on sale. Talked to a geek friend who has the exact tablet and a droid phone, and asked what he'd suggest, since the tablet was more than I had.
Long story short, I have AMAZING friends, and have a new Tablet for everything I had on me, and babysitting jobs.
Also got the files off the laptop that unexpectedly died. Everything I was working on when the power supply tanked is still there. There's two stories and over 15,000 words WE DON'T HAVE TO REWRITE. *cries tears of joy*
Then coming home from babysitting around midnight, I got pulled over by the police on my scooter. Both headlights are out. My response as I'm leaning over the handlebars of "What the Heck!? ...Yeah, they're out." made both officers laugh.
Thankfully they gave me a warning, but the next time they catch me after dark with no headlights, its a ticket.
Today was spent taking the front end apart to get to the lights and discovering that 12V 18W headlight bulbs are not something that Autozone, Pepboys or the local scooter shops carry in stock.
So until I get a chance to order the bulbs and get them on the bike, no traveling after dark for me.
.... The weird thing is? A lot of this was annoyance, but I don't view it as especially -bad-. o_O Es Loco En La Cabeza?
In the meantime, writing South Park Kinkmeme fic, because we feel like it, goshdarnit. ^^;
