Just after Easter, I had to get my clutch replaced. It was the last week of Choral Union, and the days were starting to get longer and warmer. Now it is the second week of Choral Union and the days are getting shorter and colder. Tonight, while trying to leave work, I discovered that my clutch had stopped functioning. Push the clutch all the way down, and the gears with still do nothing but grind. Not good. Unfortunately, I discovered this a 5:45 PM, and the garage closed for the weekend at 6. The repair is still under warranty, so they towed it for free and told me they'd look at it first thing on Monday morning. Unfortunately, that leaves me without a car, on a weekend that I really needed to get around. :( I also had a 45 minute wait for the tow, and a longish walk home from the garage in shoes that weren't meant for hikes.

I also smacked my forehead into the edge of a door in a darkroom today, giving myself a bit of a welt over my left eyebrow. I'm hoping it doesn't bruise. I'm starting to think that I need to wear a big padded suit at work, like an inflatible Sumo suit, or the stuff that the "targets" wear for self-defense classes.

On the upside, I came home to find a piece of mail waiting for me. That brightened my day considerably.
