oooh...is Monday over yet?????
Well, it has definately been a Monday, and a Monday from hell, at that!!!! Man, what a day!
The past several days at our house have been pretty chaotic, due mostly to our car, that we can't figure out what in the tarnation is going on with it. We replaced to two sensors that they told us we needed, but it has made no difference at all. What this is doing to our gas mileage, has been etrotious!!!! It is sucking gas, like I have a hole in my tank. I had just a little less than 1/4 tank yesterday, when I went to pick up Landon and the boys, about 3:00. By the time I got to Ashland, my gas light had come on, meaning I was down to 1/8 tank. So, I put $5 in when I got to Ashland...only had $7 to begin with. That gave me right at 1/4 tank. I grabbed Landon, and a friend of his, that was over. His friend Dean, lives right on the highway, back to Columbia, so we dropped him off at his house, and then I ran him to work...not that far out of my way...about 3 miles or so. Before we had even gotten to Dean's house...just about 6 miles from landon's, I was already down to 1/8 tank again, and the gas light back on. After we dropped dean off at work, we stopped again, and Landon gave me $5, plus the $2 I had, and we put that in the tank....which put it back up to 1/4 again. We drove another 6 miles or so, to our house, but the gas light was on again, before we even got home. I had to take Landon back home, later that evening, so he gave me another $5 to put in the car...which put me back up to that ever emfamous 1/4 tank, but the light on again before I even got home. This morning, I had to take Lee to work...then come back home, then go to work myself at 1:00. I must have just made it work on fumes, because when i left work this evening, I only made it about 1 1/2 miles down the road....and I ran out of gas. I was able to pull off onto a side street, and call Lee. Our checks were suppose to be in today....but, why, for one reason or another, they didn't come in, so here I was, flat broke, and out of gas. One of the guys that works with Lee ran and got a gas can and some gas...enough to get me started and a few blocks farther to pick up Lee. Of course, what gas he put in, didn't even reach the 1/4 mark, so we knew that wouldn't even get Lee to work tomorrow, and then me back home, and then back into town to pick up my check. Hopefully, our checks will be in tomorrow. So, anyway....yesterday, between about 3:00 and 10:00, I put $17.00 in gas in my car, and it was suckin' it so fast, that you wouldn't have guessed that I'd put anything in it. something is definately wrong when you suck down $17.00 in gas, after only driving about 35 miles. This has got to stop, and something has to be figured out. We just can't afford $10-15 in gas a day. We really can't afford to take the car in to have it looked at. What little bit my check will be tomorrow, is already spoken for with other bills that are due, and then 1/2 our rent has to come out of Lee's check on Thurs., and that doesn't leave much left over either, and then another week before we get another pay check. So, it has just not made for a very pleasant day here...especially after running out of gas. I had to sit in the car...freezin' my butt off....it is cooooooooold here, for about 45 mins., before Jonathan got there with the gas. It took me forever to warm up, even after I got home.
So, as you can tell....I've just not had the best of days, not to mention the stress of trying to figure out what we're going to do with the car. It's just been a typical Monday, I guess. It was a mad house at work today...just didn't stop all day long, and they didn't want to give us any kind of a break. We close at 6, but it was finally about 6:50 before we even clocked out, that's how many clothes we had left to finish up before we could leave. About 4:30, they started dumping them on us, and we couldn't get caught up at all. We had the floor covered with piles of clothes. I am ready to get out of there at 6, and I sure don't want to be stuck there an additional 50 mins. I was soooooo glad to see those last clothes tagged, and us out of there. Of course, I didn't get very far once I did leave.
After today, I'm sure glad that I have tomorrow off, then back to work on Wed. Tomorrow, sometime...if our checks come in, so I can get gas....I'm going to pick up Landon, and we're going to go do some grocery shopping together. That will be later tomorrow afternoon, though, he works till 3.
Well, it's not really that late, or not late for me normally, just about 10:30, but after the day I've had, I think I may go soak in a hot tub, and try to unwind, and relax, just a bit. When I'm done, I may even call it an early night, and hit the sack. Or, maybe the bath will revive me a little, and I may be back here at the puter....who knows. lol Right now, I can't seem to stop yawnin', on top of the fact that my eyes are having a hard time staying open. lol Something tells me after a nice hot bath...I'm going to be more in the mood to just hit the bed. Even now, just thinking about it, I know how wonderful it's going to feel.
So, guess I'll head outta here, and head for the tub. I sure hope that you guys had a better day than I did....and I sure hope that my tomorrow is better than my today was! lol Have a great evening, and a wonderful tomorrow. Hope to talk to you all soon.
Much love,
Lev
