I'm back at work and the food is already flowing. I brought in my individually bagged pizelles for my coworkers which has become a very predictable tradition over the years, but people seem to be excited about them. Its going to be very difficult to be motivated this week.
We ventured out last night to do a final shovel and car cleaning and headed to Hannaford to pick up things needed for Xmas Eve dinner and Xmas morning breakfast. Of course, Hannaford didn't have fake vegetarian pepperoni (or a 3/4 lb block of muenster), so I'll have to hit Whole Foods tonight after work for those. Does anyone have any idea where the fake pepperoni would be kept? Brian's annoyed that we're going meatless, but I want my sister to be able to eat this (Gram used to make it all of the time).
My soreness is pretty much segregated to the right pectorals (bruising) and my right shoulder and side of the neck. I can still move all over, its just stiff/sore as if I slept on it the wrong way so I'm sure it will be fine. Years ago, Brian bought me one of those smelly pillow pads that you heat up in the microwave (a bunny) the size of a door draft sock, at one of the stores on Moody (Gourmet Pottery). This thing is really amazing in these sorts of situations, and I can't wait to heat it up and wear it around again tonight. I didn't want to bring it to work, because I wasn't sure if the smell would offend (and I didn't want yet another thing to carry in.
Montvale Ave was horrible this morning - I sat for 20 minutes trying to drive a straight line to my office (when it would normally take me 2 minutes). I think it was backup to 93 or something, but other than that my commute was uneventful. My pride in Hedwig and Impalas in general grows as I see how bad this Charger is in the snow, and how little relative power it has. I can't wait to hear from my insurance company today.
The more I think of it, the less I'm expecting to be in a new car early this week. Liberty Mutual needs from me the form that gives them authorization to pay off my loan on Hedwig and take the title (before they cut me a check) and I dropped that into a UPS box last night (it's next day air, but won't be picked up until tonight at 6PM and it needs to get out to Westboro, MA). If they totalled the car today and I was able to get the plate from it today or tomorrow, there's a slight chance I could get the car Wednesday (maybe) with only putting my cash deposit down (and then pay the rest to the loan later once I get the check). This is my first experience with this kind of thing, so I have no clue how it normally goes.
I guess the perk of renting an Enterprise car and then buying an Enterprise car, is that I can drop the rental off when I go to pick up the new car.
I feel kind of lame for rambling on and on about this, but its the biggest thing on my mind right now. I'll be happy to get back to normal, and am excited to buy the new car some gifts (like winter weather wipers, a steering wheel cover, those silly kinds of things) assuming of course I get it.
