Today may cost me $1,000 dollars.
I ran over a curb.
I was at a clients house and noticed when I was finished that I had a flat tire.
So they were kind enough to let me stay in a room while I waited for the repair guy to show up. to change my flat tire. He could not get the spares' lug nuts to go on he said that they had been stripped by over tightening them.I think he did and broke off the lug nut.
so we had to call a wrecker company to use the flat bed to tow the car to the chevron fornets on johnston street. Not too too far from our house. they come highly recommended. the tow guy would not let me ride with him to the shop.He said since covid his policy is to not let anyone ride with him. which stinks. I called jeff and he came with Kellie our friend from trivia, and picked me up and we went to get jeffs car and went to the chevron to talk about my car.
It will be worked on tomorrow and hopefully the tire is not damaged too much but I am thinking I need a new tire. and they will have to order it.
In between this time I am on the phone talking to all state representative. It is maddening to try to get around those automated systems. Please can I just talk to a person??????
I ended up renting a car for 3 days at the cost of $580 plus $300 that is refundable when the car is returned. It is a huge suv. ugh!

That is crazy expensive!!!!
I had not eaten yet and it was 3 pm and I was getting hysterical, as I had not taken my meds at noon because I need to take them with food.

so we drove to fat pats and I had a burger that was just ok. and 2 beers, sips that I like. I felt like I was starting to calm down.
It is 40degrees with a wind of 15-20 mph It is cold!!!!!
Jeff went to play music trivia with a friend out of town and he had already been drinking and had 2 more big beers so I was worried about him driving.
then he told me that his friends wife was going to drive them up. So that made me feel better. There are parades tonight. mardi gras is this tuesday. I have the day off. There will be parades that we like. I am hoping that I can get my car sooner then monday. I can drop off the car on sunday if my car is done on saturday if the rental place is closed. I am at their mercy.
I am sitting here all alone drinking gin and tonics. I hope lisa gets them home all safe after trivia. Jeff has to drive back from mikes when they get back into town. He will avoid the parade route. hopefully they will not be too late coming home....
Today has not been the most steller day.
I talked with my sister and she was in the middle of packing. They leave tomorrow for florida to spend the week with my folks in pompano beach florida, about an hour south of fort lauderdale. on the atlantic side of upper fl. It is my folks time share condominium. It is always the 9th week of the year, so that changes year to year.
my dads birthday is march 9th. we are giving him money for his golfing.
My favorite purse is breaking, the handles that is. I already took it to a leather shoe repair shop The job that they did was lousy.
they used glue and sewed the straps in place. But it was not secure enough and one of the handles is only being held on by a few threads. My morning appointment cancelled on me so I will have time to take it back to the shop where it is worked on and have them figure some thing out to fix the problem.
I am just babbling along.
I should quit.
much love and concern for you ladies.
