It's really quite good to have my Persephone back. The doctors at HP replaced her battery, motherboard and CD drive.... it's like she's brand new.... only she already was brand new....
So, I pushed my car to the max this week apparently. I went to take her to work, and got as far as jutting out into oncoming traffic on Stewart Ave. when she decided to stop. Yes, I'd run out of gas. It took several very scary minutes to get her back up into my driveway. By this time I was already late to work and still had to walk there (it's less than a 10 minute walk, mind you, I just didn't feel like walking up the hill again - but I did). Ryan was kind enough to take me to buy gas and bring it back to my poor car. I should really take better care of her.
In other news, my parents are now staying in Ithaca for graduation, instead of an hour away. They hate me for it, too, because their hotel is apparently ridiculously expensive, but it'll be easier for me to have them within a reasonable distance and not have to do massive coordinating to get them to things on time. I'm tempted to turn off my cell phone and let them not find me for the weekend. I don't know what it is about me and my parents and graduations, but it is clearly not a good combination. Argh.
I think I might try and go to Boston for the summer. I've never been there, but apparently it's the place to be this summer, and several different people have told me that I should spend the summer there. My goal right now is to not spend the summer in Illinois (where I'll be miserable) or Ithaca (where I've spent the last 2 summers and is sort of overdone - plus, I have no place to live from May 31 to Aug 1 - not that I have a place to live in Boston or anywhere else but Illinois, but that's beside the point). I have no idea what I'm actually going to do. I guess we'll see.
I should be doing work right now, but I'm not. I haven't done a damn thing all week. Partly because of a massive attach of insomnia this week. I've wasted so many hours just lying in bed this week it's ridiculous. I mean, I'd take just a few restful hours of sleep over what I've been getting (3 hours tops of unrestful sleep along with about 6 hours of tossing and turning - for 3 nights straight!). I have to be up late tonight, but I guess we'll see what tomorrow brings.
