Yesterday was even worse than the day before... Six hours at the car repair place with Lily...Finally came home and dog had diarrhea all over the house. I cried. Felt better... Life goes on.
I couldn't help but think of my friend Laura and her real problems. I told Mandy all about my day while I was driving her to work. We had a good laugh and that was that. So my day sucked but the car is fixed and life goes on.
Lily and I feeling claustrophobic, bored, tired, hungry... at the site of the never ending brake job, we bonded. It was us against the world and we helped each other through it. I was so upset, they had told me an hour and a half and then just never finished, kept coming up with excuses. I am there with Lily with no way out, no way to leave, at their mercy...My head about exploded with anger, helplessness and frustration. Lily was feeling similarly upset. We were at first picking at each other but in the end we came together and got through the experience with some humor. Lily is hilarious. The old man also waiting for his car with us the entire time, never uttered a word to us, just looked pissed the whole time. That added magic to the moment.
Today we are supposed to go to our first Mardi Gras parade... It is raining cats and dogs, thunder and lightning. I hope it clears up.

I Think I May Have A Screw Loose

I saw my podiatrist yesterday. One part of my foot is still hurting (it's
been almost two months since the surgery). He thinks it may be one of the
screws ...

Bad thing about Mardi Gras in the south is the weather is so unpredictable. Hope it clears and you have fun. Sounds like you deserve a bit. Wow! Six hours waiting--how awful. And the dog. You really did have a spell of bad luck. As you say, life goes on.
It is always so irritating when a little stop ends up being a day long stop that just goes on and on, especially when you have your children with you. Thanks so much for always thinking of us. I think it is the weather (I have always had problems with the winter months, emotionally) that just makes it all feel worse. I hope you weekend has many, many bright spots. You deserve them.
That is quite a bad day. I'm glad you had Lily to keep you company so you didn't have to talk to Mr. Grouchy-pants.
Is it cold there? I'm freezing here. I hope you are able to go to the parade -- Mardi Gras can be fun.
