The Expedition blew another spark plug on Tuesday. It'll be somewhere between $1000 and $5000 to fix it, depending on what we do. We may or may not be able to get Ford to pay for some or all of the repairs, we don't know yet.
The Honda got a flat tire yesterday morning. We won't have a replacement tire for it until Friday.
My Eclipse is having the bottom end of the engine replaced again before I even got it back. Under warranty, so it's free to me, at least, but still. Apparently something failed while dyno-testing it.
My new Gran Canyon fell over in the trailer on the way home, shearing off the left mirror and punching a hole in the interior wall of the trailer with the handlebar. It was cinched down hard with ratchet straps.
The major set of problems I am dealing with at work right now are so overconstrained that I am not sure there is a solution, and I am certain that there is no good solution.
I'm probably coming down with whatever it was that had Amy so sick while I was gone. At the very least, I've been feverish and in a lot of muscular pain since yesterday afternoon.
There's some other stuff that I just don't know what to do with right now. I hope things will work out but I don't know how to help them to do so.
If you've got something good going on in your life, I'd certainly love to hear it right about now. *smile*

As long as I'm posting about angst...
(If you don't have the context for any of this, then trust me, you're better off. Just treat it as general philosophical musings.) I will be in Chicago from Wednesday 4/16 through Monday 4/21. All day Thursday I have to occupy myself, much of the rest of the time I'll be visiting my little brother. If you're in the area and want to consider getting together or something, drop me a comment with a phone number and when you're available, and if scheduling works out maybe I'll call and we can get together. Comments are screened so you don't have to show your details to everyone. dogemperor has some worrying things about Hillary Clinton. (Not the first time, but a good summation so far.) Hrm, I wonder if Creature Comforts is out on DVD. I really need to get me some of that. It's a freakin' brilliant show. Go search for it on youtube if you've never heard of it, really. Riding along the road to Rochelle city, I was, indeed, extremely sore yesterday. I feel very, very well used. If you know anything at all about horses or dressage, or ponyplay, then watch this video. It is worksafe, assuming that dancing horses isn't somehow verboten. The rumors of my death have been greatly exaggerated. Hey, if you're on LinkedIn, drop me an invite at deb at pobox dot com with your LJ id and I'll add you to my network. http://artofmentalwarfare.com/pog/cover
ZOMG someone actually did a live-action Lobo Christmas special. Cute cat video, followed by very well done and quite funny overdub of said cat video.
Start with http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z3U0udLH I'm having a grouchy day for no obvious reason. My back hurts, but it's not particularly bad. I feel sort of low-level icky. This is probably why I'm feeling grouchy, but it doesn't seem like it's enough to justify being a bitch. Why You Should Not Shave Your Ass Hair. Today's installment of Laugh At Other People's Pain. Video, sound is not required but makes it funnier. Site had blocked popups, so I can't guarantee it's not annoying. |
