so annoyed

i finally got a hold of the insurance company for the car that hit me, and it wasn't pretty. the lady seemed nice enough until she started being a bitch, and then i had to get all bitchy back. i had no idea there was another company involved in my claim until about two weeks ago, and so when she got all snippy about how my car had been sitting there for over a month i pointed out that yes, i knew that, but what was i to do when i didn't even know who hit me and who their insurance was? trust me, i'd like to speed this up as much as the next kid, because i want my damn check, and at this point if it's for $20 i'll be happy. JUST FIX IT. or not. i don't care.

in better news, news that doesn't make me all red in the face and fist-shaking, i looked into train tickets from here to home, and goddamn. they aren't that crazy expensive. it will take about two and a half days, but i like the idea of rolling along on a train, knitting and reading and taking pictures through the window. i might do it. i've always wanted to take a train ride, and what better way to see the rockies?

i start shipping my stuff home this week too. i'm undecided about just shipping it all via fed-ex, shipping some of it and using a box for the rest, but i'm pretty sure i can ship it in pieces for cheaper than the box. plus, i only have three pieces of real furniture to send home; a small formica table, a nightstand, and an old-fashioned school desk. the rest i could leave behind if need be. i suppose i need to do some more research, even though all i want to do now is drink and stew silently.
