Huh.....

The Condo We Once Called: Home

So yesterday just continued to get worse after my post. It really did. And by about 6pm I had completely surrendered to the day, no the week. Quite possibly the month but I'm waiting to see how the rest of today goes.

3:00pm: Eric calls to say that we're now moving in to my place and he's going to get up and leave every two hours to check the dehumidifier at the other condo. I just kept imagining how hideous our sleep was going to be with him getting out of bed, and leaving every two hours.

3:30pm: Eric calls to say that NEVERMIND! They decided the carpet needed to come up. We're moving in with his parents until the house is fixed.

4:00pm: My boss gets the update and lets me go home early so I can locate some clean, dry clothes to wear to work the next day and help Eric close up the house.

4:05pm: My car won't start.

4:06pm: My car still won't start but now the horn is honking REALLY LOUD IN THE PARKING GARAGE WHICH GATHERS MUCH ATTENTION!!!

4:07pm: I go upstairs to the office to get a flashlight.

4:10pm: I proceed to pull out almost every fuse in the car to shut THE FUCKING HORN UP LONG ENOUGH FOR ME TO THINK!

4:15pm: Almost in tears at this point, and ready to hand granade the whole fucking car, I find James, the building engineer. James disconnects the battery to shut THE LOUD, ECHOING CAR UP FOR ONE COTTON PICKIN' MINUTE SO WE CAN PULL SOME MORE FUSES AND THINK!

5:00pm: After a few more bouts of horn honking, and a jump start, the bitch starts up.

5:20pm: I get home and there is nothing but concrete on the floor and the furniture looks like it hot shaken up and thrown in the house. The bedroom is in the bathroom and kitchen, the living room and computer are on the porch. The house smells like hot trash and ....oh yea...there's no water.

5:30pm: New laptop/first birthday present arrives just in time for me to do some overdue History homework from our new home.

5:45: We packed.

6:00pm: Car won't start again....

6:05pm: Eric Jump-starts car - no honking this time... phew!

6:45pm: We move in to Eric's parents house.

8:00pm: I discover I have wireless internet on my new laptop. Cool! My moment of enjoyment for the day!

NEXT DAY

7:20am: The car won't start.

7:21am: Eric jump starts the car and wakes up the neighborhood with the loud ass horn "HONK HONK HONK HONK HONK HONK HONK HONK HONK HONK HONK!!!" It's started but it won't stop honkin!

7:30am:

Eric: "What the F...?"
Jess: "Maybe we should drive it around the block?"
Eric: "Yea, do that and see if it works, I guess."
Jess: "No, you do it. I'm too scared (eh-hem embarrassed)to."
Eric: "Ugh - fine."

9:20am: $200 for my car to get fixed. New battery, horn fuse, oil change, tire plugged (hole in it) and wind shield wiper fluid.

12:00pm:

Holly calls me at work: "Is your cell phone at home or something?"

Me: "No. Like everything else in my life it's sort of broken."

Holly: "Awe"

Me: "It won't charge."

So there you go folks. That's the up to the minute pile of poo that is my life lately. I'm still smiling though believe it or not. Prozac? Sure is! Now off I got to study for History and wait for my next strike of bad luck. Maybe I'll get my hand caught in the paper shredder. Or maybe all my hair will fall out. Who knows! Maybe I'll loose a few fingers and not be able to type on my new computer. The bottom line is that no matter how bottom of the pond, gooey, shitty, poo-poo my life gets -- I'm smiling from Prozac.

Refreshing isn't it? Life? Boy could I use a refreshing Gin and Tonic on lots of ice and tons of gin.
