good mornthing!
20/10/18 09:14I gave myself an extra twenty minutes in bed this morning, although I did not sleep for any of it. That was typical for the night, though.
You see, I took my car in to the shop yesterday. You remember, we were all hoping it was going to be an inexpensive fix, like the heat shield replacement or something. Well, it’s an “or something,” but not an inexpensive one: the entire exhaust system except for the manifold need replacement. Also, my brakes. All to the tune of over three grand.
Y’all, I do not have three grand. I only started this job four months ago, and I was feeling good about pulling together half a grand on short notice. *headdesk*
So I had them replace the bulbs that needed replacing, and do the oil change, and I have applied for a loan through my credit union. I should hear back on that next week. In the meantime, I borrowed Secret Agent Lover Man’s car last night to take the Eldest Spawn to his dad’s, and then also this morning to get to work, because it makes me super uneasy to drive my car knowing that CO2 is leaking into the cabin.
Borrowing the car meant not leaving till 5, and with traffic I didn’t get home till half past ten. I had a coffee to carry me through, so I don’t think I was actually asleep until close to midnight.
At 3am, the smoke alarm went off. It was very exciting for a couple minutes, but ultimately we sorted out that it was because SALM had set up The humidifier underneath the smoke detector, not realizing how sensitive it is to water vapor. he turned it off. I calmed Youngest. We went back to sleep.
At 5am the cable to his smartphone started to malfunction, the flow of electricity to the phone stopping and starting, and every time the phone chimed. Irregularly. After a dozen or so chimes I elbowed him awake and asked him to take care of it, and he did with all suitable apologies.
Now I am at work, and so stressed, and so tired. There is espresso and sugar in my coffee. I will edit in the selfie later, because it is not happening on the phone.
