The Pink Shoe Diaries

I really don't want to cheese anyone out..but it has to be said:

my boyfriend is pretty damn awesome.

so, today was going really well as of this morning. it snowed alot, but i was in a good mood. i had some work to do, but it was actually interesting stuff that helps the day pass. good times.

so, i am rumaging through my tote bag (a bag that i haven't used in a few weeks but brought today because i brought my lunch for once and this bag is big enough to stash it in) and i come across a rather startling piece of paper. my car insurance "notiftcation of cancellation" bill.

basically, in january i forgot to pay my car insurance because in november and december my parents had paid it for me, since i was between jobs, and i was just not "used" to paying it, if that makes sense. i'm sure the bill came, and i just put it away somewhere, not really thinking about it.

i didn't think about it until mid february when i got a very scary note from my insurance company stating that they were charging me three times my normal monthly amount (one for last month, one for this month and one as a penalty which applies to the premium) and that it was due by March 2nd or else my policy would be cancelled

this was no big deal, i had the money for it. "i will send them a check this week" i had thought to myself. and then took the note and put it in the pocket of my tote bag to "remind" me while i was at work. this is a tote bag that i never use.

except when i bring lunch.

and i never bring lunch.

except today i did (thank god)

so i find this note a few hours ago and i start freaking out! i had completely forgotten about it! there's no way i can send it so that they get it before March 2nd which is TOMORROW. i could go to the bank and then drive to the insurance office today with the money...but there is no way i can leave work today since because of the snow half the office is out and i am not even getting a LUNCH break today.

so of course i email Adam freaking out. they are going to cancel my insurance. i am so screwed. how could i have been so scatterbrained (very easily, that is totally my nature).

i try to never be stressed out about anything, really, but THIS is pretty damn stressful in my book. i don't even know what happens when your insurance is cancelled but i'm sure it is expensive and really annoying to reinstate.

so Adam, cool, calm and non freaker outer that he is, calmly calls my insurance company, gets whatever forms he needs faxed over to him, and makes my payment for me with his credit card and then emails me, saying what he did, so i don't have to continue to freak out about it.

this is what he is so good at: making whatever i freak out about go away. whether it is this car insurance payment, or the spider in the shower stall.

not that i can't take care of myself, but sometimes it is nice to feel like no matter what you always have someone on your side who if he can help you, will help you.

i am a lucky gal ;-)
