What’s the best thing to do when you wake up in a bad mood? Have a nice breakfast, of course! I’m already on my 4th cup of tea and I had a little oatmeal earlier.
Folks, I am so anxious today, it’s unreal. Last night, yours truly rode home in a flat-bed tow truck with a guy named Fred. “Why” you ask? Because my normally reliable Pathfinder is broken! I should’ve known better than to go grocery shopping at 10:00 pm, in the rain, when I was already way too tired. I thought it would be quick and easy; oh, how wrong I was.
“Just grabbing a few items” turned into a major grocery stock-up. Unloading all the bags while getting soaking wet in the process was challenging enough; finding out that the car wouldn’t start nearly put me into a fit.
I will say this: Thank God for AAA! Within 15 minutes, help was on the scene. In the past, I’ve had to call them occasionally for a dead battery or a flat tire, but I’ve never, ever dealt with a hopelessly disabled car. I couldn’t figure it out, AAA couldn’t figure it out, so a tow to the mechanic’s garage was the only option.
I can’t even imagine what the estimate will be or how long I’ll be without wheels. There’s no way to change it, so I guess I shouldn’t be worrying about it. (Easier said than done.) Since I may be stuck at home for a few days, I’m making a list of chores/projects that have been on the back burner for a while. Maybe this will give me a good chance to catch up and slow down.
Hmmm…that doesn’t exactly cheer me up either.
Anyone else feeling grouchy? Share your woes.
Sorry about your car woes….bummer. :.( I am glad you had Auto Club..great service I think and well worth the money. My grouchy day was last week, when I wore my antique beaded necklace to go out to dinner and it broke… scattering beads all over the restaurant floor. What a mess and I was not a happy camper to say the least.
Oh, that is just awful! Were you able to find all of the beads? It’s terrible when antiques break because they’re so hard to replace. Must’ve been a bad night for you. Very sorry!
So sorry about your car, but at least you are stocked up on groceries. Our dryer broke last week and it took a few days for a part. Of course, now my laundry is backed up and not in much of a hurry to catch up. 🙂
That is so frustrating, dealing with broken appliances. My washing machine quit once on 4th of July and it was a nightmare trying to get it fixed. I don’t blame you for not wanting to wash a mountain of clothes.
