It's okay, baby, he just doesn't understand us...

 Lucy the Staypuft Marshmallow car is back in my possession after a traumatizing two weeks apart. Stupid deer. 

There was a tense minute (closer to 30) where the foreman at the garage 1: couldn't find my car, then 2: couldn't find my keys. I raged silently because the electricity was out due to some impressive storms that rolled through the area and the receptionist at the garage apologized profusely and said that if their computers were up and running, this wouldn't have happened, because she could have looked up where Lucy was being stored. 

The foreman came back, soaking wet from running between the buildings, and huffing and puffing, "'05 PT Cruiser. Came in for hail damage, right?"

I shook my head, "No. I hit a deer. Well...it hit me, technically speaking..."

I trailed off and this look of total comprehension crossed his face, "Oh. OH. Well, that explains why I couldn't find it."

He ran back out into the rain and five minutes later, I was headed home in my baby. As soon as I pulled out of the parking lot, Lucy's gas light came on.

"You're fucking hungry already?"

I cranked up the radio and kissed the steering wheel, "Okay, I'm sorry. I missed you."

And then I came home, jumped on the internet, and heard about season 7. Hells to the YEAH. This totally makes up for the fact that I think my mother has taken up drinking. More on that later. I have to go work. In LUCY! MY LUCY! HAI BB! HAI!

I'M SO PLEASED THAT YOU'VE BEEN REUNITED! *GLOMPS YOU BOTH*

That poor man, running wildly through the rain to find your car. Haha. I'm happy he found it for you though! I would've slightly been freaking out, too. Although, not outwardly (and probably not with my current car. Sigh. Long story about that. If we do become friends I assure you that we will almost 100% get along over cars).

Not so awesome about your mother taking up drinking? Though I've never been convinced it's the worst thing in the world. But I don't like it when it ends up affecting/effecting children. So, I can see the bad side of her doing it obviously enough that you know she's doing it.

Haha, I was getting scared there for a bit, just because there has been so much random fail involved with getting my car fixed that I was like, "You know what? If they lost it? I will not be shocked in the slightest."

Heh. If you stick around this journal long enough, you will read alot about my monster mother. She and I tend to not get along. We didn't speak for two years because she's a fucking lunatic exceptionally troubled woman with lots of issues who refuses to see that she has issues and lives in a constant state of severe denial about her life.

That's...like the tip of the iceberg, really.

My mother has never had substance problems in the past, though I wanted her to very badly at several points in my life. It sucks when you start to realize that your mother is messed up, and you can't find anything to blame it on. It makes the clean-up particularly challenging.

Idk. I called her the other night and she sounded drunk. She called me today and made no mention of the conversation the other night. It was bizzare.

That would've totally sucked. But then again, where could it have possibly gone? ... Unless they gave it to some guy thinking it was his car, and your car was much nicer, and then he just trolled off with it. But I'm pretty sure you'd get it back in the end at least. Not that matters. Cause they didn't do that.

Wow. I can see wanting to be in denial about one's life. But it's not necessarily an excuse and I'm really really sorry that it means you haven't gotten along. That's not fair in the slightest.

You find yourself wanting to clean up still? That's kind of amazing. I'd have given up.

And yeah, that is super weird. It'd be kind of awkward to just pretend it didn't happen.

Oh no, I'm way past wanting to clean up at this point. I think the only reason we speak now is because I just don't care anymore.
