guess who drove a fuckoff huge uhaul through chicago alleys etc without scratching it or anything else every step of the move has been painful and irritating to the point of tears but the apartment and the neighborhood are wonderful also i got the job! (pending hr final approval)
A lady ran a red light and totaled my car. The car was a 2010 KIA with 80k miles, it has been a great car as far as maintenance goes, brakes, oil, batteries and tires and nothing else for 15 years. I'll miss its consistency. We got $5,400 out of insurance, which is more than I thought we would. I'll probably buy a similar Kia as a replacement cause most the other reliable cars are significantly more expensive. The witnesses to the accident said that it looked like a real hard hit but it didn't seem that bad from the cockpit. My airbag didn't deploy and it should have but I'm glad it didn't.
Had an interview Monday for the first time since the job search began. I think it went fairly well, should hear back in 2-3 weeks. Otherwise just working on quotes for floors and roof, and starting to think about moving logistics. Also trying to figure out how to have a reasonably priced wedding in the bay area. Shit is expensive yo.
I'd be down with that but we also want pictures of family and friends and a day to celebrate us so we're leaning towards wedding.

Backyard is both (a) tiny and (b) not accessible at all and we've got people we need accessibility for. None of the family in the area has a sufficiently sized yard unfortunately. Parks we've looked at. Some issues with accessibility and somewon't provide tables and chairs which becomes expensive quickly. We're gonna figure it out it'll just take some finagling
I shot a wedding in Oakland decades ago. The couple getting married weren't particularly well-off, as I was the only professional they'd hired. It was at a park on the water. Oddly enough one of the cheapest places to get married is wastewater treatment plants. They tend to be very park-like but if you catch them on a bad day
Both Seattle and LA have wedding packages and wedding coordinators. I spent two or three years designing this one. https://kingcounty.gov/en/dept/dnrp/waste-services/wastewater-treatment/education/rent-brightwater-center/rental-information/weddings Here's a few more
