Gas, Crap, and Power Outages

Thursday, November 20, 2008

Gas is $1.99 across the street! Woo! We didn't get any because we get shitty mileage with that brand, but still. It's the principle of the thing. LOL

I got a Bag o' Crap from Woot today and I really wasn't even trying. I was feeding Logan in the bedroom when I heard the sirens go off. Took me a second to realize what it was, and then I came out to see if I was too late. The buy page hadn't come up yet, so I kept refreshing, and eventually got the order screen. Tried in vain to get 3, but the button was broken, so I just hit the order button. Got an error because I forgot my CVV number. Submitted again, figuring there was no way I would get one. A billion server errors later, I got logged in to my account, and sure enough, my order history was Crappy. Score! A highlight to my otherwise shitty day.

Ethan was hideous today. We almost didn't make it to preschool because he just would not get ready. He just shuts down sometimes and it's infuriating.

Our car is leaking coolant. You know, because we have just a ton of extra cash laying around right now. I have two friends whose husbands are mechanics, so if it's something Shawn can't do himself, at least maybe we can get it done cheaper. I'd like to just get rid of the damn thing, but we're $2k upside down on it so that probably won't happen.

Shawn is on call this week and has been paged every night. Sucks. But on the bright side, he won a free phone in a raffle at work today so at least there's some kind of reward. And he's on vacation now until next Monday, which is awesome.

Hopefully tomorrow is a better day, I don't think I can handle worse. Sigh.
