And, stop.

What a week.

Monday, I find out that something isn't resolved that I was told was fixed last week. I will not detail this on the blog; however, things change March 1st, no matter how much I've tried to actively fix the situation. No apocalypse or anything, but it will definitely prove to be interesting over the next few months.

On a somewhat bittersweet note, my roommate, Mike, gave his 60 days notice. The only bitter part of that is that I lose part of the money coming in each month. The sweet part is, well, he is a dick and I won't have to deal with him --- Jen & I will welcome the change! Postings on Craigslist and Roommates.com should prove for some interesting showings ...

So the week continued with a flat tire the same day I realized my registration was expired. Figuring it was no big deal, I took it to the shop. $420 later (and that was with a significant discount from the dealer since my Dad knows him!), I found out I needed new brakes and rotors as well. Wonderful.

Thinking I'd be in the clear for at least the rest of the week, that somehow the world would let me off the hook for the rest of the week. But no. No, to the tune of $4000 fraud charges on my credit card. Seriously? (Not to mention, I found out my old gym was still charging me every month ... despite the fact that I canceled it on 12/31/08.)

Ok, so you know what I say? Bring it on. I've taken it all. I'm still standing. I'm not sleeping well - per usual - but I'm still here and still truckin.

Jamie and this koala are the things that made me smile this week!

(His name is Sam, he was rescued from Brush fires in Victoria!)

PS - I love you, Tree!
