Opposition in ALL things…even the other lane of traffic

So I haven’t blogged for a while. Apparently I’ve become a once-a-monther. *sigh* Anyhoo, these last few weeks have held the good and the bad. How about the good news first?

So remember that blog about Abram’s new job? Well, it ended up REALLY paying off for both of us. They had an opening for a receptionist at the firm, and little ol’ me was invited to join the team on October 13th. It’s been super so far. And even though I’m new, I know a lot more of what goes on around the office and have a bigger desk and a phone. Lucky me! Abram basically has a closet and a laptop from about 10 years ago. Oh well. Apparently he gets the grunt work and I get the cushy work. No complaints here!!! But it’s super fun to see him around the office 3 days a week, and all of the people I work with are wonderful. Nice lawyers do exist! “Dry land is not a myth!!” Anyway, it’s great!

So now for the bad news. I can’t believe I’m actually going to share this, but here goes. I hurt the car. The nice car. The good looking car. I am ashamed. (Please say the preceding sentence with the little shrimp guy voice on Finding Nemo) While Abram’s been looking into replacing the window switch cover (yes, the cover is broken, not the actual switch) I go and drive the poor thing into a dump truck! Luckily the damage is all cosmetic and the car is still safe and perfectly drivable. But oh! The pain! I merged into a dump truck. Yep. Luckily it was on a city street and we weren’t going that fast. But you know when you’re driving west and the sun is setting and you’re really short and the visor doesn’t help at all and you think you have enough room, and you think someone will be kind and perhaps slow down just a bit to let you in? Yeah, pretty much. There’s a dent and a big scrape on the driver’s side. *Sniffle* :’( I feel so bad. If there’s any good news here, it’s that I’m okay and wasn’t issued any type of traffic violation. The bad news is that the rust bucket Prelude is now the better looking of our two cars, at least on the driver’s side. I’m so sorry Abram!!!!!!!!

So yeah, the dump truck definitely provided some opposition. But overall, life is truly blessed for the Hardys. Our financial woes have been soothed for the time being and we have great family and friends all around us!!
