leaveoutalltherestSeriously. It was a shitty beginning on a day that capped a shitty weekend and Monday.
First there was the twelve hour shift, the lack of sleep, the fact that Mother Nature is a whore and always brings Cousin Depression when she visits. Then there was the crash on Monday followed by the mini break down.
Today? Well, today was just the icing on the cake.
Get up at butt crack o'dawn to take Di to work, everything is fine. Come home, nap for an hour and a half.
Get up at 8, rush to get ready and out the door by 8:15am. I want some food before class, dammit.
Get three blocks from home, round the corner...
THE FUCKING TIRE SEPARATES FROM THE RIM. The seal just popped and the tire was just flopping around on the rim.
So, stop in front of this nice little barber shop, only to find out I left my cellphone at home. So I go inside, but he doesn't have a phone there, BUT he does give me two quarters so I can run down to the corner and use the payphone!
Unfortunately, someone jammed something in the quarter slot on the phone, so I have to call my house collect. The first tiime, Abby mistakes me for a solicitation call and hangs up. Thankfully, Willow got the second one.
Now I'm waiting for my aunt and Abby to come pick me up. Aunt has the BRILLIANT idea for me to take her car so I can get to class! YAY \o/!!
Wait, reread that subject line, okay.
I stop back at the house to grab my cellphone, and just as I pull it off the charger, the aunt calls. She forgot her meds, I need to drop them off. OH! And I'll have to put gas in the car too! Okay, that was at 8:45a. Class starts AT 9a. If you're not in the door at 9a, you can't go in. There's no way in HELL I'm going to drop that off, get gas and make it to class on time.
Well, fuckit. I drop off the meds, call my dad and meet him back at my car. He brings the tools and jack, we get my car up, get the tire off, only to find out that the spare won't fit. It will fit the back though! Only, as we go to put it on, Dad realises it's FLAT. So, off to his shop (with Will staying behind in Aunt's WARM car to watch the jack), where we first have to UN-ICE the valve stem to get air in.
Back to the car. Tire goes on the back, back tire... doesn't fit the front either. So, send Willow home, put a stand under the car and head back to the shop. Dad makes a call, finds me a tire and I get ready to leave to go get it.
Now, just before I left, I made me a nice, hot cuppa coffee. Sweet and milky and caffeine!! Set it on the console of Dad's car to put on my seatbelt, and KNOCK IT OVER ONTO MY LEG, and the floorboard.
Yeah, at this point, I'm ready to crawl into bed and say fuck the world. But I go and get the tire. Stop at my car on the way back, and put the tire on! YAY! \o/ Go back to the shop to give Dad his car and get a ride back to mine. Just as we get ready to leave the shop, GRANJO shows up. \o/ SCORE! GranJo makes things better!
I get to my car and head back to the shop. End up running GranJo someplace while Dad tunes up her minivan. She fills my tank. She buys Orsi's pizza for lunch. She gets pissy because I don't have a winter coat and decides we are going shopping later! We go back to Dad's, have lunch, Kym gets the leftover pizza. (OMG HUGE PIZZA, We got half of it!)
Then, shopping. Can't find a coat I like in the womens section, because JCPenny sucks for keeping them in stock this late. But, I got a kick ass leather motocross jacket from the guys section that fits over my hoodies! \o/ Then, she buys me two new pairs of jeans! Total for JCPenny's? $29 and some change. \o/ Clearance! Off to Target so she can pick up a few thiings for home, and I get this oh-so-soft brown, teal and tan Woolrich throw for $15 bucks. :D:D:D
Now I'm home. I am not leaving home. Except to pick up Di. And if tomorrow starts out like this, I'm not leaving home for the rest of the fucking week.

Cars are such pains in the asses. And yet, we need them so badly. :-/
