I managed to be dressed before the builder arrived, had the local optometrlst fix my glasses, and made an eye appointment for Tuesday. I'm going to call today a win.
Ben: I didn't ask for any of this. I just want to be normal. Gronx: I wanted to be an underwear model. We play the hand we're dealt.

Spike's Bitches 47: Someone Dangerous Could Get In
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Dear Builder,
Please stop talking about Obamacare and various other things you've heard on right wing radio.

Thanks, erika. He has gone now. I like him a lot and he is very good at his job, but I'd rather not hear about his political views. I personally just think it is unprofessional to talk about politics to customers.

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty
ugh, sj. My mother had the same thing happen to her a few weeks ago. She was captive audience to a guy cleaning the rug who was also an apparent anti-obamacare "expert". I wasn't there so I don't know what I would have done in that situation, but I feel for you.

Oy, sj.
So remember that super busy weekend I had planned? It's probably going to look somewhat different. My car just died with no warning in downtown rush hour. I'm off to the side and my insurance covers towing, so that's good. Mostly likely clutch or transmission. Ugh.
D is with me, and immediately sent me around the the corner to get a bagel. He learned fast about my blood sugar crashes.

Ohno, smonster. So much easy/cheap fix-ma. I'm glad D's there in case you need to lean a bit.

amyth OMG yes. I am shockingly calm. I'm going to save my freakout for when I find out the cost. Good things: we were headed to the burbs to see the Hobbit, so at least we weren't towing from there at midnight or something; I called my boss (thinking he might know something) and he has offered to help me pay for repairs (i have to have a car for work). Bad things: I'm supposed to drive to NC in a week.
