Let me start this blog with two disclaimers.
1. I am WOUND UP ANDIDON'TKNOWWHY.
2. In a previous post I stated "I will never get sick of this Adele song." That is SUCH a lie. I can't even begin to tell you how freaking sick of that song I am. I do not care if they could have had it all. However, I'll never get sick of her new song. Ever.
So let me tell you about the last two weeks, eh? Last Monday I was robbed. Yesterday my car died. Ok, nice chat!
No but really, I had some credit cards and my license taken from my purse at work last Monday. Totally sucked. Luckily I have an awesome Mom who helped me and is also good at understanding me when I'm hysterical. After the initial panic we were able to get everything pretty much taken care of. I'm still waiting on a driver's license so until then I get to use my passport. Fortunately its a really flattering photo.
In the meantime I realized there are zero Chase banks in the state of Massachusetts. Who would have thought? Not me. So this means that without any valid checks and no way of cashing my paychecks I found myself in a new pickle. I opened a new account with a bank here WHO SHALL REMAIN NAMELESS, DO NOT ROB ME. But it means waiting a few weeks for new checks, waiting 5 days for every check I deposit to clear for the first 30 days, etc. etc. FUN. I did get approved for a credit card with a credit limit that they should never have told me so apparently I have good credit for now. Hopefully that will come in handy if....
...I have to buy a new car. My sweet, sweet Geo is currently dead as a doornail in the driveway. Tricia has triple A and they're coming later to hopefully bring him back to life. Whether they are able to save him or not, I will probably at least start seriously looking for a new car because I have a feeling he is trying to tell me that he's not planning on being around much longer. *Sniff* Apparently car years are not the same as human years. Side note for anyone who may not have known this- do not waste your time and energy trying to push a car that will not shift out of park. It seems they're designed to not move while in park.
In all seriousness, other than some minor details like not being sure if my car works, technically driving illegally without my license, not really being able to access my money at the moment and it being 104 degrees outside things are good here! No really, I still love Boston. Love my roommates, love the city, love my window air conditioner, love the fact that there's a cupcake place 0.2 miles from my house and love that I have visitors coming soon!
