Why is it always my stomach...

First off, a belated HAPPY BIRTHDAY to matociquala! I wouldn't have missed it if I had been able to stand up...

To the rest of you, sorry I vanished off the face of the earth. Sometime around dinner time on Tuesday I started puking. Stayed up all night doing that, and most of yesterday until we got sick of it and my being dehydrated at around 3. They happily informed me that the medicine I always end up with in my IV (since this is time #3 for ending up in the ER for this kind of thing) is available over the counter in a variety of forms. I promise to go buy some, now that I know. Hopefully now the next time this starts up again I can just medicate myself and be done with it. Either way I find it concernaling that every time I get like this, I cannot be stopped without medication. Good thing I'm not bulimic.

This is really screwing with us because of this Con we have this weekend. uniquecrash5 just left to go finally get his license because it's been expired- he has to because we HAVE to rent a car. More about that in a minute. So if I am feeling up to it, I have a game tonight- if Crash makes it back in time, he's in it too... We won't have the kiddo all weekend (yay!) but since I am feeling fantabulous, I don't know how much that will all matter... That, and the fact that I was supposed to create all my other characters yesterday and couldn't because, well, you know...

And oh yes, the car... We finally found out late yesterday that the insurance guy who had originally quoted us $400 a month, had failed to look up the fact that those companies do NOT take a foreign license into consideration so my driving record is now GONE. I am like a new driver... So forget $400 monthly, change that to $1000 RIGHT NOW, and then another major payment of $5000 for the rest of the year. Yahright... Not gonna do it. Unh uh.. Since we were only going to do it temporarily just to be able to keep the car, and since we only ever need the thing once a month or so, we'll just rent cars when it comes up. So if Bubble's is still interested, she should contact me... Otherwise it's getting a really good bath and a FOR SALE sign, since I don't see the situation improving in a timely enough fashion that it merits covering the thing up and keeping it. It will be years and years before we can afford to pretend to start over again, so keeping the car seems stupid when I could use the money to pay off debt, and possibly get a new bed. I really want a new bed, with a mattress that doesn't wiggle like jello every time someone breathes. If I wanted wiggling I would have gotten a water bed, dammit. I think I will either go ultra cheap (read: fancy futon) or just get a new mattress and a cheap bed frame. We need a head board at the least these days- I can't stand all the crap falling behind the bed.

Anyway, now I'm just rambling, and I really should be packing K's crap and calling my mom.

We haven't sold our car yet, so best you put a for sale sign on yours.

And does Toronto have FlexCar or something similar? Our cousin in San Francisco uses the service and loves it, since, like you, she only needs a car a couple of times a month for Costco runs, etc.
