cornerofmadnessI almost didn't get up this morning. Turns out that even though I know I set my alarm (I'm a compulsive checker. I do a lock and alarm check at least 4 times every day) my alarm wasn't on and I just so happened to wake up on my own at 7:30.
Then it takes TWO hours to fix my car this morning. The problem? The mechanic who did my timing belt change and did some other belt work screwed up and the belt cut through a wire in one of the sensor harnesses. 120$ later, i'm letting my dad handle it since the mechanic in question is a friend of his.
I manage to do some shopping only to find out that 4 of the 5 stores I went to do NOT (let me repeat that, NOT) carry winter boots. Hello, we live in a snow belt how the hell can you not carry winter boots. Wal-Mart has them but damn, it's Wal-Mart and I don't want to give the corporation of evil money more so than I already do.
I come home two find two messages. UPS calling to see if the insurance adjustor every came out to talk to me. I call them back but they're gone until monday. I call Office Depot and they have not HEARD from UPS about this. They're invesitgating it now. I've called them back three times because they keep not calling me and they STILL haven't made the call to UPS.
The other call was from Zog telling me that the damn propane price has almost doubled leading to a 200$ bill for propane. I already keep the house at 62. ANy colder and I can hang meat in here.
I trundle into the bathroom to find out the faucet's trickling. Okay I'm pretty sure I didn't leave it on. Worse, it's the HOT water so that means for 5 hours the hot water tank that's already killing me and my electric bill has been running.
And the pain in my big toe wasn't from my shoe rubbing. I took off my sock and found myself staring at a textbook paronychia. Otherwise known as an infected ingrown nail and me without my anesthesia. Oh well, that damn shot hurts more than cutting the nail out without it. I'll do that tonight.
So is anyone having a better day than me? Or should I just assume you all are.
And the weirdest part of this day so far was, I'm in Fashion Bug, leaving in disgust over no snow boots in their 50% off boot sale (and before I buy the faux bondage boots) and a hand touches my shoulder and a man whispers in a soft, gentle voice, "Don't Worry." I turn around and I'm alone in the store...
