Well, you know what they say. This is why this week sucks:
- Joel working doubles (8 am-midnight) THREE full days this week
- A three-hour work meeting that put me behind for the majority of Wednesday
- Covering a city commission meeting until long past midnight Monday
- Staying up until midnight Tuesday putting together MEAP charts
- My car’s brakes deciding to crap out on me Wednesday morning, right after we dropped off Joel’s car at the shop
- A $753 car repair bill, including:
- Four new brakes
- A new serpentine belt
- An alignment
- An oil change
- A new antenna (did you know they cost $75?!)
- Being told that I need two new front tires
- Two new front tires cost an additional $200
- Blowing a fuse Thursday morning and having no power in half the apartment
- Begging co-workers who live nearby to drive me to the Kroger pharmacy, so I can refill a prescription
- Missing roller derby practice because of a) no car, b) massive stress headache and c) being behind in work
Good things about this week:
- Valentine’s Day sugar cookies + bicycle necklace + red and white polka dotted dress
- BCRG ROLLER DERBY BOUT THIS SATURDAY!
- Making Joel chocolate-dipped pound cake and pretzels for Valentine’s Day and eating them myself
- The parents are coming up for a special weekend visit
- They’re making me crab cakes
I gots the best fiance. Evers.
I think tonight is a good night for wine, crappy food and catching up in The Blind Assassin.
