how can there be a "final" warning if there was never a "first" warning?

so, bret's car has been broken since december, i think.  he bought it from a guy & the guy was supposed to mail him the title papers, but he didn't.  so, you can get a new title if you have proof of purchase & $100, bret was missing one of those things - plus the paperwork, which you have to get one piece from the DMV and one from ... the post office?  that doesn't seem right... anyway, from somewhere else.


i'm not entirely sure on all the details, but just in the last week everything has come together w/ paperwork & money & whatnot & he's able to mail off the paperwork to get the title.  he hasn't been able to drive it until he gets this paperwork - and it has had a flat tire, but he hasn't fixed it yet because he's not supposed to drive it.


anyway, so it's been in the driveway, and it hasn't been driven in a month, it's true.  however, NO ONE from the office has said one word about it to me.  no one has asked me anything, no one has SENT me anything.  until TODAY, when they left a note on the door, apparently, saying FINAL NOTICE and that they were going to two his car tomorrow because it's "abandoned."  


you have got to be frakkin kidding me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


so now i have to call the office tomorrow, to voice my displeasure.  if anyone had bothered to ask about the car, i would have explained what was going on & that we were working on getting it legal to drive.  it is MY driveway that i pay RENT for, for pete's sakes!  it's ridiculous.  


ugh.  and the whole irritation for me, is the fact of the "final" notice when it's the first i've heard of it.  i understand that broken down cars can't be littering yards & whatnot, making the place look like a trash heap.  i get the logic there.  however, not being able to drive your car does not make it junk.  or abandoned.  we live here, the car is here, how is that "abandonment?"  


*sigh*  just another stresser, right?  but it's not really my stress - it's just the stupidity of it that is irritating me.  


other than THAT today was pretty good.  : )  


bret didn't have work today, which was a bummer, but i made it in at 7:30, so that was cool.  got tons of stuff accomplished.  read at lunch.  had a nice uplifting text from marianne at just the perfect time.  (thank you.)  i EVEN uploaded 95 of the 500+ photos, AND left at 5!  of course, dinner w/ michelle was postponed til tomorrow...


tomorrow's gonna be interesting.  i have dr's appointments from 10 - 1.  am trying not to be anxious.  blech.  


what else can i randomly share with my peeps today?  have you see Conspiracy Theory with Jesse Ventura?  gette posted an episode on her FB & i just paused What Would You Do? to watch it.  CREEEEPY!  i mean, i firmly believe that we as Americans have given up a lot of our rights & continue to give the government too much power.  but idk if i believe as far as this programme went!  i certainly would hope we as a ppl would be more logical than that, except i've seen how we're not, so... eeep!  back to creepy!


so, tell me about your day.  was it fun, frustrating, happy, sad?  a little bit of everything?  do share!
