Not only mechanically inclined family whom live near by, and can come to my aid in only a few minutes! But that I spent so much of my mental energy and focus working on my last big report for the year, and cleared forty of the forty seven pages yesterday. As today, well just this very morning, my vehicle battery drained down to absolute zero – again. But while I was out grocery shopping after doing school drop off, and not while the vehicle was sat idle in our own driveway. No warning lights, no prompts, no buzzers, sounds alarms or fading dashboard symbols to tell me it was going to go dead. So off I strode confidently into Walmart for essentials, without having eaten mind you. Just a quick trip. There and back in thirty minutes! But no. Finally after some much needed running about we got the car to the shop, the newest battery onto a charger, retrieved the old battery, got gas and some tools, dropped off and stowed the perishable groceries, and I am now comfortably seated on my couch eating a sandwich.
So I came home, completed my final seven pages, did some soft proofing for any major errors, and got the file off for review. Man am I glad I stuck with it and did so much of it yesterday. This pickle would have left me fuming had I still had twenty five pages left to go. I realize I taxed myself quite hard yesterday, but you never do know what’s going to happen next. I have a spare vehicle on loan to get the kids to & from school for the next few days, which is a big help. Sheesh. I thought the whole new battery just a mere four days ago was the answer, but it’s either the alternator or an even bigger electrical issue which could be a nightmare to discover & fix. Oh well. C’est la vie! That is life.
I might just pick up on the Domestic Duties from Monday, or I will chill out, eat more of this lovely toasted sandwich, and think warm, happy, non stressed thoughts for a spell. Next time I make this sandwich I’ll add some bacon, tomato, lettuce and a dash of salt & pepper, plus a smear of butter. It’s not a bad sandwich mind you. It has smoked ham, turkey, salami, swiss cheese and provolone cheese, mustard and miracle whip, on thinly sliced toasted white bread. But I think I could take it up a notch on the flavour scale with those minor edits. Bam! Now we’re talking taste bud city. Stay frosty out there. Be as prepared as you are able! Ciao Bella
