Last week started off with a bang, literally, when the church right across the street from our babysitter's house exploded and burned to the ground in the middle of the night. While this did not affect us directly, it did melt some of the siding on our friends' house, and it gave Noor something to be dramatic about for at least a few days.
I started developing an earache after having just gotten done with a cold. This later developed into an ear infection. I think I have had one other ear infection ever, so this is not a common occurence.
Someone who had been giving me some grief in a dispute we had been having over money ended up in federal prison for most of the next five years. I found this out on Wednesday.
Things started heating up at our San Francisco office late in the week, resulting in my getting sent much at the last minute to San Francisco early on Monday. I had to miss two midterms this week, both of which have been re-scheduled, and a community meeting having to do with the North Portland Greenway trail.
The capper was on Sunday. While driving along Lombard in North Portland back to our house, I managed to collide with the back of a car that had been stopped to take a left turn. No one got hurt, and the other driver and I exchanged insurance information and such, and then as I went to drive my now not exactly pristine looking van home the transmission started revving high when I would accelerate from a stop. It turned out that I had somehow knocked the transmission and created a leak. That, along with all the body damage on the front, resulting in the insurance company declaring the vehicle a total loss. So... once I get back from San Francisco I will be signing the title over and collecting the blood money for my vehicle. The pisser is that we had JUST finished paying that one off in December.
Like I said. No on got hurt.
