Miss Morgles and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day

Ok… So it really hasn’t been a whole day. In fact, I’ve only been awake for just shy of 3 hours… and I’ve only been at work for about 45 minutes.

But so far, today has been less than stellar. (Did I just say stellar?)

Anyway.. Allow me to explain this one..
First, I didn’t get much sleep last night, which always makes for a crummy day. I got about 5 hours of sleep… maybe just a smidge more. Definitely not enough for my exhausted existence.

So I got up (finally).. got ready for work. All was going well so far.. I didn’t trip over myself too many times.. no stubbed toes or murder attempts by Bonsai..

Then I left.

I limped down the stairs with excruciating pain in my left knee as I put pressure on it… Damn soccer! (I might not play this weekend..)

I unlocked my car.. no problemo.

I put the key in the ignition… and turn.

My gauges on my dashboard begin to freak out.. the lights on my dashboard flash once… and my car makes no other noise.

I try again.

Same results.

So I try again.

Same thing. (This, I’ve recently learned, is “insanity.” Repeating the same action and expecting a different result… Think AA Jaywalker.. anyway..)

I try yet again… and something different happened! (Yay! Not insane!) My car clicked. With every click, my dashboard lights would flash.

So here’s the deal… I turn the key 1/4 of the way.. my radio pops on (hey..at least there’s music to listen to while I’m crying over the death of MY first vehicle)… I turn the key 1/2 of the way.. I hear clicking, lights flash, and my gauges do their little “nah-nahnah-nah-nah-naaaaah” dance… I turn the key all the way…. Nothing.

Now my keyless entry won’t even work. I grabbed all my items I need for work, and my mom’s car key.. walked around my car, opening every door, locking each door manually, then slowly climbed into my mom’s POS car that was still in my parking lot after… well that’s another story.

I don’t have time to stop for flavored coffee (at the gas station… I only treat myself to Starbucks on special occasions… today was one of those days, but you have to have money for that).. so I’m having to settle for the nasty coffee at work… (yes..I know.. this isn’t really an issue.. but still!)

So that’s the biggest thing. But now, my knee is worse than ever. It hurts when I do nothing to it now. Did I mention I have arthritis? I do.. I have Osteo-Arthritis. So not cool. It could easily become Rheumatoid Arthritis since my mom has it… that’s scary.

So far, nothing else has happened… and my coworkers all think the problem is just a bad battery in my car. *crosses fingers* I hope so! This is as bad for me as if something happened to my iMac!

I’m really not that materialistic… promise! But these two items are the only items that are important to me.

I’m not venting. I’m bored with this now. Goodbye!
