I talked to my insurance agent...well an agent at the place I got insurance...and I can't do retroactive coverage. The policy I have no is wtih a different company. Both companies specialize in discount insurance, since I don't have any credit I've ended up with discount insurance. Actually the insurance compnay I just signed up with is better. And the accident and tickets haven't shown up on my record yet so there wasn't an increase, that will happen next year.

Deena, thanks for reminding me to contact the lady's insurance company.

Of course now I can't find my paper work...

Yesterday I knew work might be stressful so I took a seroquel to work, I ended up taking it after the accident just to help me not totally freak out and it worked but it made me so woozy I'm having trouble remembering some things. Luckily Mom and my "other mother" came and got me back home and asked some questions and generally assuared me that life is okay. But I think maybe I left the paperwork at my other mother's (I went over there to try and get the number for my insurance company since I didn't have teh card with me).

How bad of a girlfriend am I for getting mad that Teacup Guy keeps introducing me as his friend? It is silly, I guess, but it hurts my feelings that he doesn't say girlfriend.

Well, he may be one of those people who think that the words "boyfriend" and "girlfriend" are sort of silly. As one of those people, I can say that I probably introduced Tom as my friend about 90% of the time for almost 2 years, until I was able to introduce him as my fiance.

You're not a bad girlfriend at all, and if it bothers you, maybe bring it up (when you are not currently annoyed about it) and tell him you know it's silly, but...

and {askye} God, what a fucking sucktastic run you've been having. Hang in there though. It makes me relieved that I don't have to drive; when I do, lately, I've been so mega stressed about it (as with most things). I know I'd get in an accident if I were driving regularly.

I'm so sorry things are continuing to be hard at work. You're in my thoughts!

I guess the words are silly, but I like them anyway. I would rather him just say "This is Sarah" than "This is my friend Sarah" if he is uncomfortable saying girlfriend. I don't know why. The latter just bothers me.

Too late.

Too late.

Heh. I am sure y'all will get through it! perhaps he needed a bit of an eyeopener?

Not a bad girlfriend at all. It would hurt my feelings, too.

And, exactly what Nora said. All of it.

Hey, ChiKat, congrats on getting through the semester, you paper-writing FIEND!

I took a nice long lunch break which did wonders for my sanity, but not so much for my motivation. la la la...

Punctuation to askye, that is rough stuff to deal with. Hang in there.

In me news, I just had a weird experience. I feel like I had a logjam break in my head. I've felt low and depressed for ages and I was just having a good conversation about oldtime soccer with a friend/colleague and I went off to get coffee feeling really upbeat, enthusiastic and positive for no reason, like a load had lifted off my shoulders. No idea where this has come from, but I'm going to try to hold onto it.

Much punctuation, Askye. Did I tell you I wore the socks you gave me while I was in labor? Well, the early part. After that, it was too warm in my body for socks. But I wore them and they made me smile.

Awesome!! Good luck with that!
