Thoughts

I think I may try and rent a car next weekend while Chas is in Vancouver. I should try to figure out how much it will cost. It would be cheaper if his car were here while he is gone (it would be free), but the flight is out of Tampa, and well, he needs it to get to Tampa. I guess it will partly depend on what I get for days off with the new schedule after shift bids on Tuesday, and what kind of transition schedule I get, if any. I hope I won't have a problem with getting to and from work while he is gone. Again, that's all up to the shift bid goddess, and my lack of seniority.

I think I should go to bed soon, even if it is earlier than I have been going to bed lately.

Rude awakening

Woke up at about 9:30 or so to the sound of fire engines going by. Lots of them. They got closer and closer, and eventually stopped in front of our building. It appears that there was a fire in the building behind us. Don't know how it happened, or whether anyone was home or not. It was odd looking through the back windows, seeing the fire crew pumping water in the bottom floor apartment. They also had to break the other bottom floor window, and the two upstairs windows were propped up. There is a yellow police line over the front of the building now. FOX 35 News was out earlier, filming a piece for the news later. The crew are still here picking things up, and getting ready to go, though they have been here for hours. Chas is blocked in by the trucks and equipment and can't go to work. My gain?? :)

And, erm, about that renters insurance??? Maybe now is the time to look into it.

Looks like I am taking the 2:15 bus today. Sean is not home, and Chas was at work when I called him half an hour ago, and he has not yet called me back to say whether he'd be home in time to take me in at my normal time. Grumble grumble. Stupid construction. I have to leave a full hour earlier. Bah! Guess I should continue to get ready. Sigh...

Update: My knight in shining armour called about 10 minutes or so ago, and he'll be home in time to take me to work. :)
