Life happens

So I know I have been MIA for awhile. As you all know we were sick after the holidays with the nasty flu bug. Then a few weeks ago I tripped over a cord at work when rooming a patient and ended up spraining my wrist and have had two different wrist braces. I am thankfully back to normal. I've had to replace my windshield due to a large crack in it. Then my driver side window decided to go out on me. Thankfully it was replaced under warranty.
Now more recently, after getting my windows replaced, Anth, Chels, and I went to my Mom's to get her big TV for us to take home and Chels couldn't get out the back from the inside. So I let her out.Weird, right? Then, we were driving home from WI to IL and halfway thru our trip my throttle light and check engine light turns on along with a strange jolt of maybe a lack of power? Not sure. But then we come home and it's a balmy 51 degrees and then we turn on our space heaters just for our power to go out. I know, this is just a never ending tale of bad luck. Then work was crazy today and I already had the start of a headache due to said issues and then my eyelid begins to twitch. I was about to lose my mind. It wouldn't be so bad if it were one thing here and then one thing there. But not all at once. But as they say, " when it rains, it pours".
I called a local dealership and they are so busy with vehicles due the crazy cold weather I'd have to wait over a week to get it for it to be looked at. Thankfully, an auto parts store near us, literally one block away, offers free diagnostic check. So the gentleman read it for us and told us something may be off from getting a tune up and they may just be able to tweak it at the dealership.
So then we got the heat figured out along with our lack of hot water. We forgot to tell the apartment office about the power going on, so we will let them know about that soon. My doors open from the inside now since the child safety locks were on without our knowledge. My amazing friend/coworker Melissa is picking me up tomorrow to go to work(yay! carpooling and coffee!) Everything seems to be figured out for the most part. My sanity is coming back. I almost had a crying disastrous meltdown today but I kept it together and pushed through. There really is a light at the end of the tunnel. I just hope that this is for the year and the rest of the year will be less stressful! :) Time to relax with pizza and wine. Nighty night.
