Today was a day of ups and downs.

Although the insurance company hasn't officially announced it, my car appears to be totaled. My baby Kala has died and is going to RAV4 heaven. I will miss her. She was the first car I ever bought and completely paid for all by myself.

In fact, she's the only "big ticket" item I've ever bought and paid off myself. My parents helped me with my education and I have no real estate or other significantly large material holding.

*sigh* But the plus side to losing Kala (sounds like Koohla, it's Hawaiian for "princess"), is that my insurance company is going to pay me for her. I don't know exactly how much but it will be a few thousand dollars. Those few thousands will be my ticket straight to Chicago.

And continuing on the positive side, I have a 30 day contract to work for The Sports Authority starting on Wednesday.

It's as a special projects copywriter! Cool right?! I'm excited for that, it should be a lot of fun. The pay is better than my other temp jobs and the company seems to be growing and thriving. It is good for now I think!

That's about all I've got for news. I can't sit in this chair for too much longer, it hurts my back. My acupuncture and massages are helping my injuries (from the car accident) but I am not 100% yet. That is to be expected I think although I will always hope for overnight miracles! :)
Tomorrow I have another acupuncture treatment and I'll be visiting my massage therapist on Saturday again. It's so nice to have people take care of me!!! I love it.

Next time, I'm going to make it a priority to let others help me when I'm healthy...I'd rather visit the massage therapist when I'm in my usual mint condition and not when I'm feeling like a debiliated 90 year old woman with a crooked back!!!

That's it for me. I hope this finds you well.

Create a nice day,
