I should have known that so many planets in retrograde would end up having a much greater impact than just Mercury being in retro.

You all know how much I love my job.  I finally feel as if I've found my place place in the world. 

Yesterday, I was on my way to work when the car started acting really weird (I mean weirder than usual).  It's been losing it's transmission for months (finally down to only wanting to work in first gear and reverse).  I pulled into the parking lot at work and got out to see it smoking.  I checked the engine compartment ... out of radiator fluid ...no.  Out of oil... no.  Out of transmission fluid ... no.  No obvious fire and smoke was disapating, so called my son-in-law who is a mechanic and asked if he could check on it when he got off work.  I went on into work.  After work, I came out and son-in-law was there checking the car.  My boss ran me to my next job (same company, just different client).  I got a call later from my daughter that son-in-law had determined that car is beyond fixing.  Engine is a goner and even if he could fix it, there is the matter of the transmission, a bent back axel, and other problems. 

I have a one client this afternoon (for which my boss is getting me to work) and a full day tomorrow, that is if I can get there.  I start at 8 am and don't finish until 8 pm tomorrow night.

I want to get to the credit union to see if they will be willing to give me a car loan for another vehicle,  but have no way to get out there (about ten miles away).

Grrrr.....

Also got home last night to find out that our bathroom light (florescent) had burned out and there was no way to get to the store to buy another (six miles away).  Son was freaking out and hollering that I needed to walk my butt to Walmart and buy  another right then (10 pm).

And last but certainly not least ... daughter went to appointment on Wednesday to find out that it was mostly for paperwork.  The actual scan is scheduled for 4:45 tomorrow afternoon.  The doctor also has another option to explore.  If it isn't a stroke, or an aneurism, they will determine whether or not it could be MS.  The symptoms fit, so I guess it is possible.  We won't have definitive answers until June 16. 

Double grrrr.....

Here's hoping that your day (week) is going better than mine.  Blessings to one and all.....
