Yesterday there was a weird alignment of planets having a strange effect on my life. SMac calls at 10 & says 'meet me at the second hand store at 11'. So I rush thru coffee and a shower. Dash to the car and the bastard beast won't start. All the dash lights are flashing and car is making this painful suffering sound. ACK!! (What now???)
I put a call in to AAA and they arrive about 25 minutes later. Turns out my battery was dead. Luckily the AAA guy is also the battery guy so he carries about 50 different types in his truck. And yes!! A beetle's battery was there!! I couldn't imagine having to go to some car place and try to buy a battery and then find a garage open on Sunday to put the thing in so I could get to work Monday. (D is useless around cars).
So I made the decision to have the AAA guy do it then and there. Cost me $170. I'm glad I did as it seemed easiest and less stressful. Then off to the 2nd hand store. Tried on a handful of things but didn't seem to be my day for a lucky purchase. I did try on some jeans but just wasn't in the mood (after the whole ebay jean thing). Anyway, I stumble out of the change room and lean against the rack to fix my boot. Then I notice my hand is resting on this very soft charcoal grey jacket. Upon further investigation it's a North Face sheepskin fleece hoodie!! Ooh la la!! Of course I bought it. $12.
Soon after I had to split as I had to get over to the North Shore. D's Dad wanted us all together for Chinese food. Dinner was nice. As I was leaving I noticed this flat piece of silver laying at the bottom of the drive way. Thinking it was money I bent down to pick it up....remember the ring I lost?? Yes...there it was.... totally flat from being run over..... I couldn't believe it!! That ring cost me so much money!!!!!! ACK!! I scooped it up and plan to take it to a jeweler to see if a miracle can be preformed. And further strangeness..... as I bent down my new jacket shifted forward and I saw that plastic tag stuck on the pocket. Y'know- the one that is like a sticker with a bar code- indicates a BRAND NEW ITEM!!! Holy Crap!! The day takes a turn. I guess someone got it for Xmas and didn't want it. Right place at the right time.
My life exhausts me
