There would be some super dooper graphics to go with this post, but I have no energy to go find them..So i'll just give you all some boring text to read...
Today I went jumped in my car around lunchtime to go get my new glasses from the optical store,now this round trip takes approx 180 minutes-but the boss was kewl with that as he was aware of the headaches I have been suffered due to my need for new glasses.
So of I goes, I get 1115 mins away from work and a light comes up on the dash-it says CHECk,welll yeah like check WHAT-so I calmly phone hubby..he says are any other lights on -I say nope..he says well you should be ok..So off I go again..only to travel another10 mins and think hmm I smell something ickky....next thing I know there is putrid smoke billowing out from under the bonnet..
So I quickly try and maneuver of the highway only to have the car lock up on me just as I pull off the main dirt..crap is a mild description of the word I used..here I am in the heat of the day not a flippin tree insight and sun just glaring at me...
I phone work get a tow truck organized then park my butt on the hot dirt and wait tralahlah lahahtralahlah..50 mins later truck arrives -(oh yeah quickly rang hubby informed him what happened but told him I had it all under control...and then my battery died in my phone couldn't even play a game)..So we get the car up on the tray and head for the mechanics,arriving safely at the mechanics-"I urge you now to pop your cuppa safely on your desk".
I ope the door to get out of the truck and oh man goddunnit I forgot I was in a truck and yep I just went to step out like one would when normally exiting a car...wel there goes my butt sliding down the massive wheel arch thingy-ouch ahh intense pain-one quick look tells me no-one has seen this stupid act of dumbness, so I quickly straighten up and thank god I did not land face first into the bitumen...I do my best straight walk I am in no pain and walk into the office...
Give them the details and the tow truck driver then drops me off at work-heck I sure remembered real quick I was in a truck and stepped down properly as my butt was caning me ,
I survived the rest of the afternnon till the mechanic rang and said around $3000 to fix car as motor is cooked..oh man car ain't worth that much...by now I am just felling a tad sore and have a lovely big bruise appearing..I guess I'll be finding me a cheap runaround on the weekend-I so am not in the mood or mind or state to be after anther vehicle the other one was doing me just fine..ah lifes wee hurdles hmmmffttt
Cheers Vickie
Thanks for dropping in.

oh dear, it never rains then it pours. Hope you are not too sore, although bet you are in the bank area.

Oh what a day you have had hope you aren't too bruised. Did you manage to get the glasses? or is that another trip
Crikey jingoes, girl!!! You had one whopper of bad day! Poor love. {{{hugs}}} It can only get better from here...I hope. Praying a wee prayer for a cheap, RELIABLE, car to fall into your hands this weekend.
Vickie, my heart just sank for you as I read this. Isn't it amazing how life can blindside you from directions you just never expected? I know this will work out for you, but, goodness! Just keep plugging forward...what else to do? C
