Chaos!
At 2:30ish I stopped cleaning the attic and left to go to do my shift taking care of the shelter cats before I pick up Scout. Except my car wouldn't start. ARGH! I called Stuart to see if he could get her, but, unbeknownst to me, he was at the Law Library and had his ringer turned off. So I called Scout to see if she could grab a ride home with one of her friends. She didn't answer. I texted her to call me. I called bff T--she was on a bus on her way to a cross-counrty meet. I called bff L--no answer. I left a message if she sees Scout, have her call me. Called Stuart again. Texted him "are you in court?" Still nothing. Called his office--no answer (Connie had to run to the bank). Called friend Monique-no answer. Other rely-on-car friend was picking up her spawn. In the midst of all this I was still frantically texting and calling Scout. All the while having doomsday scenarios about pricey car repairs flashing through my brain like an expensive, transportationless strobe light.
Finally Stuart calls. Yes, he can get her. *sigh of relief* When they get home I learned that Scout has a major headache AND puked in the car. Out the window mostly. She crawled in the shower, and, after making sure she was okay, I went off to Feeders Supply to do the cats.
The car we'll deal with at lunch tomorrow. Before then I have to find the hiding place of the jumper cables. If it is not the battery, then I need to call the repair place and arrange a tow. Cross fingers for me that it's a simple battery thing.
No writing today. Which sucks. My excuse! We had a storm roll through at 1am last night. I woke up and rushed around trying to find the bucket to deal with the leaky bathroom ceiling and rag-towels to soak all the water that came in when the deck door blew open. And then I couldn't get back to sleep. Tired all day. I know...poor excuse. But I did veg out and read a lot!
Tomorrow will be back to business. After the car BS and carrying on with cleaning.
