So this is why I haven't been around much: (Warning....kind of long lol)
1) Hurricane. We're still recovering. Got power back in most places...but we're still running around, trying to do things that were affected by it.
2) I got really, really, really sick, actually right around the time of my birthday. (September 20). I had to go to the emergency clinic and all that fun stuff. It wasn't major-major, I just got a shot and meds, but still....it was on my birthday.
3) My grades haven't particularly suffered, but I've gotten behind on school. Everything is so overwhelming that I've been having trouble keeping up in my lectures. Luckily the important classes (I.e. biology and animal classes) my grades have been A's...but my lesser classes, I've shoved on the backburner, and I'm just getting back to them.
4) I was in a wreck. It wasn't my fault, but it put $3600 on the Impala, so that's in the shop. We don't think the motor was damaged though. But the other woman is an idiot, hardly speaks a word of English, and it was completely her fault. She ruined my car MORE after the actual accident...
Basically, you know how you'll have a green light for a lefthand turn, but you don't have an arrow, so you're supposed to yield if someone's coming? Well, she didn't yield and I was coming, so I T-boned her. I totaled her car and if someone had been in the passenger's side seat I would have put them in the hospital.
She doesn't have any windows on her passenger side now...
BUT I'm pretty sure she considered running. BECAUSE...after the wreck, I was about to get out of the Impala and ask her if she was okay, when she took off and finished the turn. She was going, but I guess she decided to stop...but when she took off, my car was attached to hers....so she basically ripped off my entire front grille, headlights, and screwed up the side panels so I couldn't open my passenger side door. I was just a LITTLE pissed.
So anyway Impala's in the shop for two weeks now. Actually it's going to be a week from today. So I should get it back soon. For now, I'm in our 2003 Crystler Town and Country. (Mom got a new van for Mother's Day, so we keep the other as a spare.)
So that's what's going on right now, and why I haven't been around.
Erik's been doing pretty well, but he started to go into stasis a few weeks ago and I had to pull him out. I have some photos from my mobile phone I'll try to get sent to the computer and posted.
