Timing

My timing is off today. It's the kind of day when I would normally long for a do-over. But, at present, the day sucks so much that I am just wishing for morning. Monday morning. Only major suckage can cause that.

The first half of the day was actually lovely. In the office at dawn, painting. A couple hours of reading, both at the coffee shop and at the park. Chatting with my squirrels. Then, to a great movie. One I have been wanting to see for a while.

That's when the wheels fell off the day, almost literally. Few things unnerve me like car trouble. I just can't deal with it. While my car is STILL in the shop, far be it from O'Brien to get it back to me in under a month, I am driving the farm truck. The old girl has many years on her and is not properly maintained, so it wasn't a big surprise when the tire went flat.

There are few moments in my life when I truly, desperately wish I were married so that I would have someone to depend on to maintain my vehicle. Today happens to be one of them. It's just bad timing.
