Thanks ladies, I just got home from getting the car back.
Katie paid the $85 impound fee... I had to put the car in my name and sweet talk the clerk to get it back at all. They waived the fine for non registration and accepted the insurance card I provided.
I was supposed to have met my Mom for lunch, but with all the craziness, was an hour late so missed her. When I got home, Joel met me at the door to tell me Katie called to say her brakes went out and she hit a BUS on her way home... so she's not here yet. She's supposedly driving the car home, so it can't be too messed up. Luckily she had her insurance card with her when she hit it!
I've HAD IT for today. I'm just an emotional wreck who's tired of cleaning up someone else's messes.
There was a bit of good news though... Joel got a job! He starts tomorrow. Thank God. He's been hired back at a place he used to work, so there shouldn't be any great surprises this time.
