What have I done wrong? Can you tell me, because I would really like to know?
So it was 1 degree outside yesterday morning, and I am driving down a long creepy road that turns a lot, and is very dark, as it normally is around 6:30 AM. And what should happen you say? Well I get a flat tire so rather than risk my life and take an hour to change the tire, I turn around and pull over in front of the first house that has a porch light on( as I don't have a flash light), and change my tire and let me remind you that it was 1 degree outside (which felt like -19 degrees). Changing my tire in the cold sucks because your fingers freeze and the road is icy, so I'm sliding everywhere and my knees are frozen (not my favorite)! So I am on the road again but as some of you know spare tires are only supposed to go 50 miles and they are rated for up to 55mph, which suck as I have 70 miles to go. So on the one day when I know there isn't going to be a ton of traffic (because it's Martin Luther King day) I still have to go slow because of the tire. So I'm driving 50 mph in the slow lane and all these bastard, mother fuckers are climbing up my ass and getting pissed off at me for going slow and the ones who aren't doing that are speeding past me rubbing it in that I am the slowest person on the road.
So do you know how long it takes for you to warm up after you have been in the freezing 1 degree weather for over a half an hour? Well I do and it's over 4 hours! I had the heater cranked up full blast the whole 35 miles to work and when I finally got there, I thought I was warm wrong again. I am sitting at my desk freezing my okole off when I decide that I am going to go to the Maverick and get a hot cappuccino. As you and I both know, sometimes I can be an idiot. I was filling up my cup with regular (which is dumb because I always drink french vanilla) so I dump out the regular and the french vanilla is out ( including the creamer) so once again I am filling my cup with regular and what happens next you say? Well just my luck that one runs out too! As I have dumped 2 cups out I don't want to dump another out so I add some sugar and say fuck it. So now I'm at my desk, wishing I had a blanket, sipping the watery-est regular cappuccino in the world.
So I decide to not let the morning affect me too much I decide to go to Big O and get my tire patched on my lunch break, the Big O guy comes out and proceeds to tell me that it cannot be fixed because I drove too far on it( when I flipped around and drove to light). Also tells me that a new tire would cost $70+ which is out of the question (because I only have $44 in my account) so I go back to work and am thinking how am I going to get home? I called my father (who is traveling in Washington/Oregon) and he called Willey Ford and set it up so all I had to do was drive in and they would put 2 new tires on and put them on his tab. Well when he went to move my car the battery had died, so I figure there couldn't be a better place for that to happen so they put a new battery in. When it was done the guy started it a few times and the last time he turned the key and popped it into gear real quick then drove it out put it into park and walked away as my car shut down. So I get in thinking that he turned it off and try and start it, it starts but doesn't idle I try and I try and I try over and over again but it won't idle. So I walk back in and tell them hey it's not working, it won't idle can you please fix it? So I freak out a little and call my sister because apparently I will need a ride home. Just before I tell her to turn around he comes in and tells me it's working now.
So I know it could have been worse but seriously does that sound shitty or what? I have decided that I am going to try something new. I am going to try and be an optimist; I want to see that glass half full! I want to be happy so I have decided that I have had a lot of really great days so I guess one bad one won't hurt.
