What a craptacular day!
I have to complain, so you have to listen.
This morning, at the bank, the car battery died. It had died on Sunday evening but then we jumped it and thought it was fine. Then I got out of the bank and it wouldn't start. Yech. So I called Brent and he brought his work's van over and jumped it. We immediately drove to the battery place and got it replaced.
Then, around noon a guy was supposed to come around and take my blood for life insurance application. He was late so I was getting very cranky and hungry (had to fast for the blood draw). He finally got there a half hour late and I told him he had better be good at what he does because my veins kind of suck. First try, no go. Second try, no go. Third try, finally got it - but it was going so slow, he said. Like barely anything at all. I started to feel a little light headed (no big deal - it happens almost every time I bleed for whatever reason). Next thing I know, Brent and this nurse guy were yelling at me and I was staring at the celieng. Yeah, I fainted. I asked if he had gotten enough and he showed me his little vial with about 3 drops in it. So now I have to make an appointment to have the clinic do it all over again. Sigh.
So, thankfully I had really nothing else to do that afternoon, and I was feeling kind of sick from the fainting episode, so I settled in for a long nap and afternoon of relaxation. Ha! Right! Brent calls a few hours later - he was bringing a friend home and the engine light went on in the car and it went into 'limp home' mode (when all the extra stuff shuts down and the car just puts all its power into getting you back home). I called the car place and they said they'd take it Friday, but Brent wanted to take it and leave it there tonight. So he picked me up and we went to my MIL's house to borrow her car and take our car to the shop.
Now I am sitting home while Brent is at church - still feel kind of sick, and sad that it's Wednesday because Brent won't be home until after I'm asleep.
What a sucky, sucky day.
