Dh is coming home tonight!!! Yeah!!! The house is clean except our bedroom so I think I'll work on that this afternoon. I went to the health club this morning. Megan has a soccer clinic this at 5 and then we're going to pick up dh at the airport. Not a very exciting day gut a good one!
Well, my day went downhill. After having a nice breakfast with Kristen (we NEVER eat together - I even made scrambled eggs, hashbrowns and toast) and having a leisurely first hour of work at home, I get ready to leave, get one block from home and my "check engine" light comes on. ARRGGHHH!!!!!!! I just got the stupid thing fixed on Wed. This is Friday. So I went straight to the dealership. The service guy goes "I thought I'd be seeing you". Yeah right. I'm glad I e-mailed about my problems on Wed. night though because they are not charging me labour on the next thing they have to do. I only have to pay for the part which is nearly $200 but it could be worse. They of course don't have the part until Monday and his response was "Its "likely" okay to drive on the weekend." Ummm. Likely is not good enough. So they gave me a rental and they are even paying for it. I just have to pay for gas. Its a Ford Fusion and its HUGE. Compared to my little car anyway. They would have given me a Focus which I'd like to try but the guy who had it before me said it smells like cigarette smoke. I'm glad I asked. So I have a "new" car for the weekend. Its got Sirius radio so I'm sure Kristen will have fun exploring that. But I am sooooo sick of these car problems. Please let this be the last one.
I left work early anyway as they had to pick me up at 3:00 if I wanted a ride back. Kristen won't be home until 6:30, not sure what time ex is coming over. Told him whenever he's ready. Next week has GOT to be better. I bought a lottery ticket so maybe Saturday will see a turn-around in my luck.
