Car serviced!
I spent a good part of Monday cleaning half the bathroom. There's like, grime that's 10 years old I swear. I don't know why, but I kinda enjoy cleaning, it's like I get a sense of achievement afterwards.
Yesterday morning I took my car to the dearlership for servicing. The guy asked me if there were any problems and I just said the coolant was leaking. He gave me a wink at the end as I left, and I must say, it instilled a degree of confidence, but I knew from experience that people who were like that could not be trusted to their word. I also thought it was kinda sexy in a way, like how my ex-client did it. I think it's something I should learn.
I had a bit of a nap at home, and then went for a jog at the park. I did about half a lap before stopping. It wasn't so much the fitness or the knee that stopped me, rather it was my shoulders. Maybe it was the push ups I did previously, but it felt like they were weighing me down and getting more and more tired.
I went home, had a shower and then went to meet Rom Rom for lunch. I was late, so gave her a call when I got there and she was just across the street. She gave me a very tight hug as I lightly hugged her back. We took a stroll down the main street in Bondy to look for a cafe, and I didn't want to spend too much time looking so I just suggested a pizzeria I saw.
We shared a pasta and a salad, and did some catching up. I told myself not to, but found myself blabbing on about Lismore and my new job. I tried to ask her about her trip and appear interested, but she was kinda vague. I guess our most interesting talk was about the case after the verdict, and also about Kate and PL. She told me about how she met up with PL in London and saw how controlling Kate was, even from overseas. Kate apparently didn't want anyone from the trial knowing about their wedding, and didn't want Jennifer or Hayley to go, but in the end allowed Hayley as long as she dressed properly (fair enough). Jennifer pretended to be a waitress and went anyway, which I thought was a bit rude.
As we were talking, some guy came over and started talking to Rom Rom, and I assumed he was a friend of her partner. He sounded a bit hostile at first, and when he left she told me he was a bit schizophrenic, so that's why she didn't introduce him to me. Haha, I'm glad she didn't.
Man I swear there are so many hot girls at Bondy.
She gave me a calendar and some cookies, which made me feel bad because I didn't get her anything.
We finished at about 2:30, and then went for a bit of a walk, and bumped into her mum on the way, lol. I would've been so embarassed if it was my mom.
After a short browse through a Mr Smiggle shop, I said I had to go, so we parted ways and said we'd organise lunch with Hayley some time. I caught the bus to the Wick and withdrew some money for mum, then went home.
I got a message from the dealership saying my car was ready, so I went to pick it up. Goddamn it it cost $770. Not so much for the leaking coolant, but for everything else, like wheel alignment and shit. I'm pretty sure a lot of it was bullshit, and he made it sound good by initially quoting me $900, but I couldn't take the risk of anything on a long drive back to Lismore. I knew if the car broke down then I'd regret not doing it, so I forked the money out.
I got the same guy again, who gave me the same wink as I left, which made me think it was like an automated move for him, which kinda detracts from any significance it may have.
I was so glad to get into my car and know it was alright. Mmm I love my car!
I drove to Chinksford to deposit some money but the bank was already closed. I bumped into my mom and gave her a lift to the Wick since I wanted to open a video rental account.
I had the choice between Video Ezy and Blockbuster, and ended up choosing the latter, even though it had a smaller range and was more expensive in some cases. I guess the good looking girls in the store compared to the guys in the other was a swaying factor.
I rented 'Criminal Law', and watched it at home. I couldn't really get into it, and didn't understand it till close to the end. Hmmm.
