I was headed to the car when i spotted the trunk open and the garbage hanging out where I failed to take it to the road yesterday afternoon. Since there's a light in there I was sure it would be dead as a doornail but to my surprise it started right up. Thank you Jesus! I then pulled up to the roadside bin and reached for the handle to get out and do the deed when the sucker broke off in my hand. Soooooo I was forced to crawl out of the passenger side and empty the garbage. I can get IN even though the handle itself is broken off because I know how to do it. It's that way on both sides up front. Now, I can't get OUT without the climb which is a bitch for an old woman like me. I called a salvage yard, found the parts and when I showed up to get them the guy said he didn't have it he would have to go " take it off". *sigh* Promised he'd have it by tomorrow morning. Just for kicks I drove by Patterson Brothers to see what's up with the tire situation and they said when I get the door handle parts they can do that at the same time they install and balance the tires. That is WHEN the part comes for their balancer. *shit*. The car is 16 years old and falling apart. Talk about your lack of mobility. This is not a good thing with a grandchild on the way in another town.
That being said, I read today that my artist friend Mary totaled her vehicle and is looking for one as well. I'm not sure what happened but she seemed pretty grateful to be alive. I should be too, so I choose to see it that way. I know .... Pollyanna to the bone.
I honestly feel like I'm in the desert. There are so many wonderful things in my life to be grateful for and I am. It's just the weariness that comes with having to put out fires and climb hills every.single.day. This is lab week so we're eating free lunch all week and we munched out on Chick Fil A today. Matt seriously loves us and the feeling is mutual. Marfy made my day with her intention to stay around a little longer so there's that blessing too.
