That’s what they call it –– “Voluntary Surrender” –– when you call the finance company that you’re leasing-to-own your car from and discuss trading up with a new model before the lease is up: VOLUNTARY SURRENDER.
It does sound INSANELY DRAMATIC and vaguely New Age-y all at once.
Another car miracle this morning.
Last night I parked in a spot that had a sign saying tow-away at 8 am because of Water Department work, knowing that I was going to be leaving the spot in ten minutes to drive to my dinner with Susan and Belle.
But I was blocked in by a car with flashers, so we took Susan’s car instead –– and I totally forgot until 10:30 the next morning about it.
Fortunately, I was neither towed (which is like $600) or ticketed, and just subtly reparked around the corner without a single negative effect.
Truly, a Telegraph Hill Parking MIRACLE.
Beyond that, today I dove in and completely redid my entire filing system which sounds tedious (and it sort of is) but is also REVOLUTIONARY –– it’s basically a restructuring of how I’m conceiving my business and finances, reflected by how I’m organizing all the records and transactions.
Bikram –- and I have a funny story about that for later –- and then home to more filing.
I watched IN TIME with JT and although it’s ridiculous, I thought there was something profound about the time = money equation of Andrew Niccol’s penned and directed future. [I think that way about all his movies, even if they don’t quite work –– he’s really thinking about things and pushing the envelope.]
And now … Sleep Soon since I have a 6 am yoga client and a 9 am phone interview with Amy Ahlers where I am the “Special Guest Star” (sorta like Heather Locklear.)
To be continued …
[Oh and as an aside, I bought a “summer scarf” today at Acre –– something you will only understand if you’ve spent July in San Francisco. Necessary, and deep purple heather.]
