The last 24 hours were just one of those that you wish you could rewind and pretend you were sleeping through. I had a great weekend helping friends with their garage sale, loading up trucks to deliver furniture, and spending quality time with some of the people I care most about. Then came Sunday night. I was driving home and got pulled over in Highland Park. I am usually a speed demon but on this particular occasion I has seen the cop up the road and was being perfect...or so I thought. He decided to pull me over anywho. Why you ask...I had expired registration...something he clearly did not see hiding behind that tree when he was running my plates. To make matters worse, I handed him my drivers license, only to see that it had expired on my birthday last November. Shows how much attention to detail I have been paying lately. So there I drive away with two big fat tickets...neither of which I can afford at this current juncture. UGH!!!! So I drive home and not a parking space in sight. I end up parking in a reserved spot I had noticed had been empty for the past few days....maybe no one parks in it...Ill park there tonight. I just want to get into my apartment, get in the shower, order dinner and watch Newsroom. I had two friends coming over to do just that!!
So the friends come over...I am attempting to get out of this crap ass mood when I get a phone call from a friend I was not expecting. Its funny...just when I think things are changing and people are growing up....someone is always going to be around to start stirring the pot. Are we all still in high school?? Should we all not learn to let things go and move forward in positive directions with our lives?! Im Just sayin!! So there goes trying to get out of my crap ass mood. Im sure all parties involved were thrilled to pieces but sometime...these things just cannot be helped. I chalk up the day and vow to have a good Monday.
Cut to today....
I go out to the parking garage to get in my car...I only have 42 errands to run this afternoon and it is already noon-thirty. But where is my car??? OH THAT'S RIGHT....NOWHERE!!!!! Apparently I was wrong in thinking that was an empty space the night before. Someone had clearly come home, gotten pissed and towed my car. Not called the office. Not tried to get in touch with me...just towed me. Dont get me wrong, I would have been PISSED beyond words too if I came home and someone was in my spot but I dont know if I would have towed...maybe a note on the car would have sufficed. But that is just me.
So now I have to get my car out of the pound...oh how I love these places and oh how I love blowing $170 that I dont have to get it out!!! I mean.......
Thank goodness I have some pretty amazing people in my life and I can call them literally at the drop of a hat and they can come get me....as one did today. Just as quickly as I picked up the phone, he was here at my apartment to drive me to BFE to get my car...and I am ever so grateful!!!
Now I am home and I notice I am a little hot. I look at my thermostat....it is blank!!! Oh good...no air :)
Again, luckily the emergency maintenance guy came right over to fix it and we are attempting to get cool as a cucumber as we speak.
Needless to say, i would like to break up with the last 24 hours. They have been no good to me and this normally positive person has been tested one too many times!!! Im thinking a big glass of wine followed up immediately by my bed will do just the trick!!
Nest post may not be sunshine and rainbows but it certainly wont be this!!!
XOXO
