Seriously!

My horoscope was right!!!
I had the worst day yesterday which continued in to this morning.

1- Felt like crap all day long
2- Decided to drop off dry cleaning (I'm in sweats and my hair was matted down from sleeping and it already hadn't been fixed previous to)
3- Xterra BREAKS DOWN on Highland Dr. which is a busy road in Utah. Thank goodness I was in the turning lane.
4- 5 minutes previous to the car problem I had emailed Tom a not so nice email because I was mad at him for a really dumb reason.
5- I had to let go of some pride to actually call Tom and ask him to come pick me up after my rude email. He said, "No, not after what you said to me." which made me cry after I got off the phone, then he called me two seconds later and said he would pick me up, but he was not happy about my comments. Ugh...
6- I sit in the intersection for 15 minutes waiting for Tom while people are honking and flipping me off. Seriously people...my hazards are on...I'm crying...can't you see I need help!! Damn Utahns!
7- Tom gets to my car and we aren't talking, he can't fix it, gives me a ride home.
8- We go out after work to see if he can try getting underneath it to diagnose the problem...still not talking. (I may have said some really hurtful sentences...I blame my upbringing. I had total training on how to out do someone in a fight. Tom is trying to break that habit and teach me how to argue instead of fight. Hard habit to break.)
9- He can't fix it so this morning I called around to a bunch of different places, got quotes on how much it will be to fix it, called a gazillion towing companies to find a cheap deal, rented a car online which said it would be $95, called a taxi so I could get to the rental place.
10- Taxi driver smells like he hot boxed his cab 800 years ago. I couldn't tell if he had a fur jacket on or if it was just a fleece disgustingly covered in hair. He told jokes about Idaho that weren't funny as I sat with keys in my hand in case he was going to turn down the wrong road and take me to an abandoned warehouse. I tried to give him a card and he was like, "Don't you have any cash, it's only 7.25?" Seriously?
11- Enterprise...ah...earlier I mentioned the $95 online quote. Well you have to pay $250 up front and then they reimburse the $155 when you return the car. Seriously...I was like ok well I hope my card doesn't get declined...good to know.
12- Towing company doesn't show up at expected time, I'm sitting in the car waiting and finally call...oh they are running late, won't be there for 45 minutes, I need to go back to work. They wanted me to set my keys on the seat and leave. I told the guy I was going to hide them, not like he even cared.

So all I have to say about the whole situation is, "Seriously!" (to be taken in all different tones)

I know this doesn't help out your day any, but mine cheered up considerably from reading this. You are so funny, way to take a sad song and make it better.
