Apr. 26th, 2016 09:32 pmI got my rental car today, and I had my choice between a small suv and a prius. The prius was a hatchback, and while it's not my first choice of car - it is an option. It's...fun in the short term because of how weird it is. Pushing a button to start and not hearing an engine is a bit to get used to, as is turning off the car or hitting a button to be in park. I know economically it's not quite worth it. It's funny and not uncomfortable, but driving feels tepid, and the visibility is HORRIBLE. I suppose backing up will get better in time when I get used to the camera, but it feels like I'm driving a tank with slits for windows.
I was warned my car may be totaled, but they also were quick to respond to my question of collecting the "totaled" value if they go that way, minus $200, and keeping it to repair on my own.
A side effect of the car was finding there is a new alternative radio station nearby! http://wera.fm/ I thought it was alt rock but streaming it now it's "just" jazz.
I'm seeing a chiropractor and starting PT...yeesh. I damn well better learn something. I found my overhead press dropped from 155 for 2 to...I failed twice to do 125 today. Not horrible, and I think I'm getting feeling back in my finger. There seems to be a particular string of muscles that are not working, so I can basically lift up to that level when it needs to engage and then it's fail or go lopsided with the stronger side.
I'm stressed / having fun at work. I'm killing myself to have my hearing done, as the prehearing report is due Friday, but I have to interview a witness tomorrow because they go out on med leave before my hearing (I got a joint motion approved). The last case resurrected from ages ago seems to be going away as the complainer is both fired and nonresponsive. I may make a motion to dismiss that entirely next week, or the week after to give time for the 5-day rule (it may be redundant / pointless).
I had some great observations when I was frustrated or miserable. I'll take a tired sterile lj over being sad. Maybe if I get drunk and coffee up something will...
