Day 21: Tracking the Money Order


Got a reprint of the money order that still hasn't arrived in California. I called, and it hasn't been cashed yet, so that's a good thing.

It was for $400 not $300, so now I feel even crappier about losing the original receipt and the fact that I just mailed it in a letter, and not with a delivery confirmation or anything.

Just feel really lousy today, and am looking forward to getting home. Not looking forward to the crowded plane flight. I enjoy seeing family, and spending time with Nicole and the kids, but it's hard when you don't have a car and can't go anywhere or do anything. I guess it's good though because it looks like I might get all the pages done for the scrapbook after all. I did a lot more yesterday and was really on a roll.

I'll try to write more later, but am going to have some lunch and get back to scrapbooking.

Update:

After not doing any scrapbooking and bumming around the house like a sullen child, I finally got off my ass and went for a walk. Walked down to Woodman's and picked up a few things. I got some wind twister type things that I can add some beads or chimes to and sell on my website (they were only a dollar each, so it was a good craft investment, I think!)

Jana got off work and came to pick me up, we drove around for a bit, went to Red Robin for dinner (I'd never been there, but Jana likes it a lot) and then drove back to Joel's to see the new car. 

Joel saw a '66 Cadillac Calais, 4-door hard top, chocolate brown with cream top in near mint condition come in for trade at the dealership he works for. He traded his old S-10 pick-up for it, and brought it home last night. It will be his family's "summer car" (another thing you don't see in California, since it's basically summer all year round). So after dinner we all got in it and drove to the new Sonic Drive-In they built around here. He definitely got some positive attention, and it will be a great car for them this summer. We cruised around for a bit, and came home for the night. :)
