I hate it when my life is eventful.
I left work early this afternoon. My car hasn't been doing so hot in this brutally cold weather and it's especially challenging to drive on snow. So when the snow really started coming down, I bailed hoping to make it before the roads got too bad.
Long story short: My car went kaput.
But: I had my phone. It was charged. I was wearing weather-appropriate clothing. All told, it took less than an hour and a half to make it home. The tow-truck driver was a nice dude. And I have the cash to cover the repairs, thank god.
So I'm actually in a really good mood, go figure.
ETA: Well, I've got my car back. I really didn't understand the mechanic when he explained it too me -- partly because I know nothing about cars and partly because he's got an accent that makes "well" two syllables and rhyme with "whale" -- but now I don't have AC, my car runs fine and I'm $150 lighter. $150 is, coincidentally, almost the exact amount of money I got for my birthday and Christmas. Ah well. Easy come, easy go.
