What a day!
Today went by so quick! I had to bring my car in to Nissan for an extremely overdue oil change. It was also past due …

Well, today didn't go to well for me either. Thats 4 bad days in a row.....surely tomorrow will be better!
I took my mom's car to work today....got about 5 miles down the road and realized that I didn't have my security access card...so I turned around and went back home. Got the card, was driving behind another car when he slammed on his brakes to avoid a squirrel....so I slammed on my brakes and my cell phone went flying out of the cup holder and into oblivion....had to pull over, get out and find the phone. So now I'm running 25 minutes behind schedule. Soon it starts to rain a little....then harder and harder. By the time I got to work an hour later, it was pouring and all of the garage parking spots were full....so I parked outside, got my stuff and ran inside...Yeah, I was soaked! What I didnt know was that I had left the headlights on in mom's car.....later the insurance people called and gave me my reservation number for Enterprise Rentals.....I called them and then went to get the rental.....except my battery was dead. :( I called Enterprise back and they picked me up and took me back to their office. I filled out the paperwork and got the rental. But now I had the problem of my mom's dead battery. I called my dad and he left work early, drove home, got mom, and they came all the way down to my office. By this time it is after 5 and we are standing in the parking lot trying to jump mom's car. It wouldn't work. Daddy finally took the battery from his truck and put it in mom's car and it started. then he unhooked the battery and put it back in his truck. All the time, leaving mom's car running. So finally at 6 we got all 3 vehicles running and left for the hour drive home...only for my parents its an hour and a half. I got home at 7. I'm tired and just a little on the grumpy side....but it won't last long.
In the meantime, the repair shop called to tell me that they didn't have a chance to look at my car today....go figure.
I sure hope all of you had a better day than I did.

Isn't life just crazier than fiction? You could not make this stuff up if you tried! What is up with these runs of bad stuff? I'm am going to be asking God about that someday. It's like, come on Lord enough!!!!! I am so sorry Joanna, what a day. You are right abut one thing, it can only get better! HA! The only thing that comes to mind is to think how horrific it could have been in that crash. This stuff is all a total pain, but it wll pass and you will be back in the swing of things! Unbelievable they haven't gotten to your car yet, geesh! Never a shortage of car repairs I guess, huh? You really are hanging in there good, my friend, and remember rainbows always follow the storm! Your storm is just lasting 4 days.... Your rainbow is coming! Lots of love and big hugs for your hard day.

You know, I read once that the more stressed out you are, the more "bad things" happen to you -- not because of some divine sense of humor, but because our minds are on our stress more than on the little details we usually notice (like, "I may need an umbrella today", or "did I remember my work badge?" and so on. People injure themselves more often when they are stressed, also -- so PLEASE be careful!
One year in college (when I had just broken up w/ my fiance'), I ran out of gas, got in a car accident, had my purse stolen, and messed up my knee all during finals week. Remember, when you feel rushed and stressed, sit for a couple of minutes, do a couple of deep breathing exercises, re-focus your mind a little, and then start moving again with focus. You'll be amazed how quickly things can settle down for you! I got a print to remind me -- just the Japanese Kanji for the word "breathe". I hope you have a much better rest of the week. Take care. --Kelleen
