Is this day done yet?
here I am typing away and it is almost 2am. I have been up for 21 hours and counting. Something happened today that I have never seen before in my own mundane life. Not one, but TWO vehicles died on me today. The first was my bus at 6:43am. I was sitting by the side of the road for a minute because I was early and didn't want to start my route yet, when suddenly my engine started making this horrible metallic screeching noise. It was cold and rainy and when the mechanics showed up a half an hour later, I was given a spare (read: very old) bus to drive. Turns out the water pump had seized. I was told that this old bus was to be mine for a few more days.
On a mission/errand right after work to the other end of town 45 minutes away, my battery light came on in 'ol faithful (my car). When I ran my errand and began my trip home, my stereo quit working. Then my headlights were really dim. And my wipers verrrry slloooow. Did I mention it was raining?? *plastic grin*
Well, I was just praying that it would make it back to my side of town at least so my family wouldn't have to drive so far to pick me up. Oh. I had to be at work in less than an hour at this point. :D
But it all worked out. I was driving in to the mechanics when it finally died and my sister picked me up and took me to work and I got a ride home. Now I am without a car for the weekend and probably through Monday.
What started out bad turned decent though. When I got back to work my regular bus was running and i was very happy. The end.
