car dance

[supercheesegirl]

so this morning i wake up with a sore throat. in the shower i realize that i need to move my car to the front so that i can go to my second interview in stupid dedham tonight. i was a little nervous because dylan wasn't home, but then he came back from his hockey game (yeah, he plays hockey at 5am, he's a psycho) and he agrees to do the car dance after his shower. so i get all ready for work and have some nice instant oatmeal for breakfast and a glass of orange juice with cayenne pepper for my throat, and i'm all ready for work and we go out to do the car dance. i had to get sarah from downstairs to move her car too, because i was in the back of the driveway, so dylan pulls out and she pulls out and i'm in a rush because i want to get to work on time and so i pull out and i'm not good at backing up anyway and i knock the rearview mirror off my driver's side door. so i'm crying when i get back, and somehow i remember (thank god) that i forgot my tampons, so i have to go back inside and get them, and i tell dylan what happened and i'm all upset because this is going to cost a lot of money and make my brand-new insurance go up if i tell them about it and i need to get the car inspected and i'm all upset. and then i have to get dann out of the shower because he has latched the bathroom door and my tampons are in there. and it's snowing outside.

so now i have a sore throat, a crampy tummy, a bleeding personal area, a mirror in the backseat of my car, and a job interview tonight. i do not want to be at work right now.

That sucks. Just a thought - you could always fix it in kind of a ghetto fashion, with a splint and lots of duct tape, until you have the money to fix it for real. Insurance might not cover it anyway, depending on your deductible. Did you smash the mirror? You can save money by calling junk yards to see if they have something from a dead car that will fit yours (a mirror transplant!). Good luck and don't think about it too much!

that's a good idea--dylan thinks he might be able to fix it too. he looked at it and said it was a really clean break. my only worry about ghettoing it up would be if the damn thing fell off when i was driving somewhere. at least right now i have the mirror in my possession and fully intact. also, i have a pretty nice car and i don't think i want to ghetto it up. but we'll see what happens and what i need to do to get it to pass inspection...
