Blargh.
Didn't sleep well. Woke up around midnight, and could NOT go to sleep, and for whatever reasons had a mini panic attack. Read for like 3 hours to try to fall asleep - I would be so tired I'd start to drift off, then I'd turn my book off and try to sleep, then I started to think too much, and then I'd have to read again. Rinse and repeat.
Yesterday morning when I got to work, the engine block light that indicates there's a problem with the emissions system came on. I hoped it would be off when I drove home, but it wasn't. The last time this happened, it was because a mouse had eaten through the fuel lines and destroyed the system, and I had to have it all replaced. Given that I just made an appt for the Audi to get fixed Monday morning, which is probably going to cost an awful lot, I figured that meant this car was going to cost me a ton as well. Called Honda and they said they could check it out if I left it for the day, so we dropped it off and hoped.
In the meantime, I called mom and said I could not come down today to help her, which I was supposed to - move furniture with her, because my cousins come from Holland Thursday, the same day the German exchange student arrives - and help her with some questions for her surgery Thursday. FIgured I'd just do it tomorrow morning when I actually have a car again and would not have to be carted around in the catering van, ugh. Except she got really freaked out. I felt so bad, I talked Glenn into going down now instead, and called her back. Turned out she has to put in these eyedrops - one for infections, and one for swelling/NSAIDs - and she was afraid she'd have a reaction and be alone in the house when it happened. Got there, read through everything, helped her (although she wanted me to do the drops, I flatly refused - I cannot handle that!!), moved furniture - and you'd think I just bought her diamonds or something, she was so thankful. Made me feel better.
She's tweaked about the surgery. Because it's Junior Job Shadow day I can't take her like I wanted, which still greatly upsets me - but depending on the time, I will try to be there when she wakes up from the surgery. The plan is for me to go to her house after work or asap on Tuesday, and sleep over, so she is not alone - then take her to the post op the following day, and work when and where I can.
I'm very stressed. Between a meeting Monday night about Germany for Kelsey, Junior Job Shadow day and mom's surgery Tuesday, Weds running around, Thursday at work my boss's new boss coming and I have to be at the top of my game...Thursday night around 8 or 9pm the new German exchange student comes...I'm feeling very very stressed. Apparently Saturday everyone but me has things going on - so after tomorrow, I just have to set my sights on that day and hope for the best I guess.
Oh yea - the Honda was done around 3pm. Turns out that the last time I filled up, the day before yesterday, I didn't turn the gas cap tight enough. So air got into the system. The computer threw an error code saying that was all it is. I had the oil changed, and had them fix the third brake light, and the whole thing cost $170. All because I didn't click the fucking gas cap three times. Idiot. =(
Quiet night. Laundry going, Glenn and Kelsey working, Tyler and me hanging out. Or should I say me hanging out, Ty's busy on his computer as usual. =/ There's gotta be a Tudors that I haven't seen yet, right?
