Just When I Thought My Luck Was Changing
Not having a very good day. It actually started with news I got yesterday. Unfortunately, because I never know whose eyes will see this blog, I can't go into detail about it. Let's just say it's a family issue that is driving me up a wall. Then today I get news about my car. Yes, I'm still happy that it waited to get to the shop before breaking down. Only now, the price has gone up. Seems when they went to put the new axle on, they noticed my two front tires were worn down on the inside, due to my alignment being "way off." So, two new tires and an alignment later, the bill is now going to be about $450. But the day is still young. Who knows what else they will find wrong with it before they're done.
To top it all off, I was supposed to volunteer at my daughter's school today for Mardi Gras day. I called at 8:30 and asked what time I was to be there, I told them I was supposed to help the kids write letters to people living in retirement homes. I was told 12:30. I showed up at 10:40, to make sure they really needed me at 12:30 and to see if they needed any extra help. Again I was told 12:30, and no, they didn't need me for anything just then. So I show up at 12:15 and am told that the letter writing was that morning and they didn't need me for anything that afternoon. GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR! All that time wasted I could have been doing my freelance work. My daughter expected me to help out and now I wasn't. I went to her classroom to tell her what happened. She said she had been disappointed when she did the letter writing and I wasn't there. But she's ok. I'm still pissed though. The office staff at her school don't know their asses from their elbows!
And to top it all off, I'm starving and we have nothing to eat in this house...and no money to buy anything. Sigh. I guess I'll just have to have oatmeal or something. I'm cranky, my back hurts, and I've yet to pick up my car. Just not a very good day.
