No, really, it sucked. It started off with a certified letter stating that I was going to be sued by Miriam Hospital for a bill from November of 2003 that my VISTA insurance had never paid, despite numerous phone calls on my part to all involved parties. Today I had to argue with the representative from VISTA that labwork is indeed a part of an annual exam, and that a yearly physical and an annual are, well, pretty much the same thing.
Then things got a bit better; the two people I wasn't looking forward to interviewing didn't show up, and the pre-recorded training session I was supposed to watch turned out to be shorter than I though. I left work at 4 and went to my very first yoga class, where I stretched and relaxed and worked some muscles I didn't know existed.
But then they got worse. I left yoga feeling all loose and energized only to find that my car had been broken into. And not just broken into, but seriously brutalized. The passenger window was smashed, and the entire middle console, including my ghetto cd player set-up, vents, and heating controls had been completely torn out. With all sorts of gouge marks around the sides. Even better, the genious who did this managed to cut himself in the process, and now there are blood streaks all over the inside of my car. My AC adapter is gone, and so are most of my CDs, with the exception of David Bowie and Beck. And the turn signals don't work.
The good news? It's covered by insurance. The bad news? When I switched to Rhode Island insurance I raised my deductibles so I wouldn't be paying quite so astronomical an amount for car insurance. Instead, I get to pay the first $1000 towards fixing this mess. Which, coincidentally, is about what Miriam Hospital wants me to pay them. Although, at this point, being sued feels like nothing.
The scrabble set wasn't touched, though, nor was the box full of glazes; that has to count for something. And Erin was kind enough to come over with a bottle of wine, which has done wonders to mellow out the stressfulness of the day.
I'm just hoping that from here, the weekend can only get better.
