Not doom and gloom, but what a week

sassy

I broke my car yesterday. 

I went to the county fair last night and of course they park you in a field.  Well, coming out of the field to the concrete road, there was a significant dip that I didn't see with all the grass.  Bam. So, there is a bar underneath my car right behind the bumper that I'm pretty sure is the frame.  That metal bar is bent downward.  And I sprung the bumper on the left hand side.  Fortunately that part wasn't bad, and I pushed on it and it popped back into place.  But the bend metal is of some concern.  I do not need to tell you, I did not need this right now.  It's going to be expensive to fix I fear.  I think I might vomit.

That's really the worst part of the week so far.  Its been a bad week with a lot of angst and stress and crabbiness and other not fun emotional times. 

The tarot proof was sent back successfully yesterday, they should be getting it this afternoon.  I'm very pleased by how beautiful the colors on the cards came out.  Very good color matching to the original paintings.  Even in the smallness of the cards, the detail is still preserved.   So as of this afternoon, the printing company will have the final approval and will start the prep process.  They may start printing as early as next Wednesday.  Turn around time is 4 weeks from the time they receive the approval to the time I have the deck in my hands.  Four weeks.  I can't believe how close we are.  After five years, this last bit of time is the hardest.  I am patient, I think these 4 weeks will pass quickly.  I do have things I'm doing in the next few weeks, so my brain will hopefully not dwell on the deck and make me crazy.

I have good news! My car only cost $100 to fix. The break was bad, but the part to fix it was cheap. Yay for small favors!
