the minutiae just keeps coming

Yesterday I went to Davis Sq during my lunch break to contest a parking ticket that I incurred on mom's car while she was in Italy back in March. Got the ticket dismissed so yay for not having to pay an extra $50.

Today I had to call Blue Cross and tell them that Ruthie's birthday is March 24th, not March 29th as they apparently have in their system which is apparently preventing her pediatrician's office from being able to submit their claim for Ruthie's 1-year checkup. Annoying. And this is probably my fault if it means that my 4 on the application form looked like a 9 to someone. I fail at handwriting apparently.

Sometimes I feel like I'm being ground to death by annoying little things like those!

In cheerier news, mogwar was kind enough to run some numbers for me to help me figure out how much estimated tax I need to pay while I'm contracting, and it was a lot less than I had feared. Also I suddenly feel very flush, with all the money that I've been waiting for finally starting to come in. I think I might even "splurge" on some new clothes for myself. I put splurge in quotes because I *need* new clothes and it's kind of ridiculous how resistant I am to actually spending the money on them. Why am I like that? Well, that's a post for another day, because right now I'm off to the Gap. ;)

I am totally resistant to spending money on clothes, even when much needed. It is ridiculous. Other things I will spend money on without even batting an eye!
