As a sort of second half to the birthday experience, my parents visited Seattle this weekend. I had to work on Friday and Tuesday, but I had memorial day itself off, so we had three weekend days to go about Seattle and see stuff. We went hiking on Cougar Mountain (I did not get eaten by a cougar,) went downtown to see the Science Fiction Museum and the space needle, and went to see the star trek movie. (Still good the second time!) But they flew back to Austin today. Sad to see them go.
It was a fun weekend, and very good to see my parents again, though also tiring. Fortunately this week will be only a four-day weekend. And I can chill with my new speakers and mouse and other goodies.
For a while I had been putting things off until after my birthday/Memorial Day, so now that that's past I've been getting things done. At some point soon I'm going to have to buckle down and get my car repaired. The insurance claim seems to be tied up in an endless morass of not doing anything. My insurance company is waiting on the other guy's insurance company, which has apparently decided they're just going to do nothing and wait for it to go away.
At this point, if state farm wanted me to go to a specific place to get the damage estimated, they should have told me -- I asked if they wanted me to, and they said no. So I'm just going to get it repaired. And maybe some time in the next 80 years they'll get back to me about it.
I also went ahead and bought one of my bridesmaid dresses, and am looking into the other one. Will have to look into buying plane tickets soon, too.
