mijan: (Bad Day)
I'm stuck in New Hampshire.  Been here all day.  It's a work day.  I'm missing work.  Why am I missing work?  Because I needed to get my car fixed.  It's been guzzling gas like mad - at least a 30% drop in fuel economy.  Engine feels like it's straining for power.  NEVER used to do that.  So, I skip a day of work to bring it to the shop that I trust, and what happens?  NOTHING!  They say they can't find anything wrong with it because "The computer says it's okay."  FUCK THE COMPUTER!  Go under the hood yourself and LOOK. 
*headdesk*
If nothing else, they're replacing the rusted-out bracket that holds the catalytic converter in place.  I don't particularly fancy having that thing fall off my car when I hit one of Boston's many pot holes.

Oh, and I'd wanted to have this done by noon.  It's 4:20, and the car is STILL in the shop.  So, I'm still in New Hampshire, twiddling my thumbs.  Well, not exactly twiddling my thumbs.  My neighbour came with me to the car place so that I wouldn't have to just sit there, and to thank her, I treated her to a spa facial, and got one for myself.  Yes, it's a wonderful indulgence. For anyone who's never had a facial, I highly recommend it.  They're fantastic.  :D

And so now, I'm back home.  I spent the afternoon making avatars to keep from going mad.  Go look at my user pics under my LJ profile!  Shiny new avatars!!!  Pretty icons!  Go lookie!  I'll make more soon, I hope. 

So... now I'm just waiting for my car to be ready.  I'd write some fic, except for some reason, I just haven't been able to focus on writing lately.  Brain-fuzz.  Haven't even had the motivation to carve more wands.  Tried to find a proper piece of wood for a new project yesterday, and came up empty handed.  But, I did have one nice pick-me-up.  Look at the bright, shiny review!  I need more bright, shiny reviews.  Yesh.

Anyhow, time to go off and stare at the phone until it rings.  Blah.  Then drive back to Massachusetts.  I'll be pulling 10-hour days all week to make up for missing today.  *headdesk*  Just what I need, right?

Can I get some love, here?
