Ashley is lazy and she always tries to get me to update her blog.

Notice of Vehicle Impound

Our car broke down on New Year's Eve as we were returning from Stanwood, Washington. To make a long story short, the alternator died we were going to buy the part and Erik's brother was going to install it. We used the cops phone to call Erik's brother to come rescue us. We left the car on the side of the road because the guys assured me that we had a couple days until it was towed. That was before it snowed. We went back the next evening to install the alternator and our car was not there. No one could have stolen it because there is no way you could have started the thing. We spent the next day calling around trying to find out car. Then, after being charged an astronomical fee, we pushed our car out of the impound and came back later that evening to install the alternator before coming home.

Today, I received in the mail a "Notice of Vehicle Impound" informing us that we have 120 hours from the time of impoundment to redeem our car or else it will be declared abandoned and sold at an auction to the highest bidder.

Our car was impounded on January 1, 2009 at 8:30am and we received the letter at roughly 6:30pm on January 7, 2009... that's about 152 hours after impoundment meaning our car would have been auctioned off yesterday.

Thanks for informing us.

Happy New Year

We're three days in and I already didn't have to go to clinical today.

I am not looking forward to this semester. First, I have to commute to Vernon three days a week for clinical. Second, I am on a medical floor which does not interest me in the slightest. Third, I am so sick of school.

The longer I'm in nursing, the less I want to do it. I don't want to work in a hospital. Ever. I'm hoping this is a phase I am going through. You know, like the terrible two's... There has to be a light at the end of the tunnel. I just have to get through 15 more weeks... then two more years, but I'm hoping those will be better. It's not even that I'm doing poorly. I think I would make a great nurse, but I don't know if I will LOVE it. I want to love what I am doing. There are so many things you can do with with a nursing degree that I don't even know about and I am hoping to find something I do love.

On a more positive note Erik gave me my birthday present yesterday, two days early, because he works tonight and tomorrow night. He gave me a lovely picture frame with three of our wedding photos in it. I think it is beautiful!
