The best Christmas party we never attended

[esprix]

Left work on time, got home, got changed, printed out directions, wrapped gifts, killed battery in car, got in the truck, stopped for gas, hit the road, engine cut out, pulled over, stressed out, took deep breaths, called AAA, called host with regrets, towed to mechanic, left note, ran to bathroom, walked to restaurant, ate dinner, had drinks,

Wow.

At least it ends with jammies and kitties and beloveds and friends :)

That would, indeed, be the least of it. Bleh.

you forgot used profanity, made rude marks in the snow with body fluids, and things like turned on light when got home

*sigh*

at least nothing major happened like breaking down in traffic that then hit you or anything. i mean yeah car failure sucks. critical car failure on a highway ending in a totaled car sucks more

I was in the left lane when I suddenly noticed the engine had cut out. Still had power and such, and just filled the tank, but I still had to pull all the way over to the right. Cost me $500 for a new fuel pump.
