Warning: Pity party ahead. Proceed with caution.
So, in the past couple of weeks, my computer has died, my plumbing has died (leaving me with no shower) and my car has died - leaving me stranded out of town on Memorial Weekend.
This just has not been my month! Of course my plumbing died right after I got back from my work trip and since it's a holiday weekend, I'm not about to call a plumber, so I do sponge baths and such until I go out of town. Yesterday I spend the night at my sisters only to wake up and try to go out to breakfast but my car won't start. deader than a door nail. Jump starting it didn't work, so I call AAA for a tow truck. I'm thinking it's the battery and the only place open today is Walmart so I have the guy tow it there. He says "I don't feel good about this, let's talk to them first before I drop your car off". Sure enough Walmart won't touch my car because it's too complicated! They won't even test the battery for me to see if it's dead. In the mean time they are all sitting on their rears doing nothing!
So the tow truck driver says, let's drop it off at the dealership and they can get to it in the morning. It's my only option really because of the holiday. Meanwhile I'm supposed to go back to work tomorrow (1.5 hrs away) and go up to the U.P. on Thurs. UGH.
Oh and when we get back to my sisters from dropping the car off - Dakota had clawed her way through one of their screens to get to their sunroom. Talk about bleeding a rock dry. $$$ flying out faster than I can make it.
Oh and I still have to pay the $400 for the tree that I had chopped down 2 weeks ago.
pity party over. Now I'll start the daily thread with happier thoughts.
