yesterday morning, i had to take my car to a garage in a non-convenient location so an appraiser could take a look at it. the appraiser was from the insurance company of the girl who hit my car way back at the beginning of february. it seems that the girl’s mother didn’t believe that the damage to my car was caused by her precious daughter, so the estimate i got wasn’t good enough. you know, it’s not enough that my car had to be hit, but i’ve had to be inconvenienced several times because of it. still, the people i spoke with at the insurance company were nice and apologetic, and the appraiser wrote me a check on the spot for the damages and a rental car for two days. their estimate was even a little higher than my original one. i hope i don’t have to go through any more car woes for a long time. i went to have my taxes done last week. it was sad, but it’s one less thing off of my shoulders. i went to an accountant that winfrey’s boy uses, and i liked her a lot. i still owe money to my pals at the government, but it’s a little less than the amount i originally thought because i paid a bit of interest on one of my student loans last year. i’m still not pleased about the whole situation, but i can make payments if i don’t have the money before april 15th. i changed my W-4 form here at work so that i’ll get a rockin’ refund next year. my paychecks will be less, but once my raise kicks it, it shouldn’t be as bad. my psychiatrist cleared me for the acupuncture study. he said i should be all right going off of the wellbutrin, but if i slide too far, i can just get back on. he was familiar with the study and said that it was well-run. he trusts my judgment because i’m “bright” and “capable” and work in research. hee. i made my first appointment with the study for next wednesday. it’ll probably just be a bunch of evaluations and assessments. there’s usually a lot of paperwork at baseline. amy b’s wedding was on saturday. we didn’t get to see the ceremony, because we weren’t told to sit back down after amy walked down the aisle. it was a short jp ceremony, but still…i would have liked to see it! bill and i were somewhat bored the rest of the evening, as we only knew two other people there, but you’ll have that sometimes at these functions. the whole atmosphere struck me as not especially festive, but i just hope that amy is happy and she enjoyed her day. because that is the most important part.
