UGH!!

This has been one of those days that just leaves you exhausted.

There of course was basic month end stress. But on top of that I also got to deal with multiple calls from L starting at 930 this morning. That first call was to ask me to check my One Bus Away app to see if her bus was almost there because she was already late to work. As I was opening the app - lo and behold her bus showed up - patience has never been one of her strengths. She then called at 1130 to see if I knew when I was getting off work - yup, it's government check day and was trying to see if I would be able to driver her all over. She then called at 300 and again at 450 then 510 asking me the same question. On the last call she informed me that the Fred Meyer check cashing place is open until 11pm! She called me again at 745 just as I was finally heading out of work. I told her that I was going straight home - it was too late for me to be driving her all over. You guessed it - that did not go over well at all. Instead of whining about how it wouldn't take me that long she changed tactics. She needs money for food - no food in her place and she is so so hungry! The state thinks she makes too much for food stamps now so she's on her own - guessing she forgot to budget that in. My telling her that it wasn't my problem or my fault didn't go over very well - she responded with tears and saying it wasn't her fault either (not sure on that way of thinking). Then there was more crying and heavy sighs and I'm so hungry!

On top of all that - I thought my parking garage let you stay for 12 hours and still get the early bird parking rate - Nope! Only 11 hours - I was 5 frickin minutes past that and had to pay $27 instead of $11!! $3.20 per minute!

Then - turned on the car and my drivers side front high beam popped and was dead - my low on fuel light then came on. I just wanted to go home!

So stopped and got gas then drove by O'Reilly Auto Parts (used to be Schuck's) Yay - they were still open. Went in to buy a new bulb - the cute guy working there helped me find the right one and then asked if I needed help replacing it! That was the best thing that happened all day! He replaced it for me - gave me a smile and I was on my way!

Now I am up letting Chrissy run around - poor thing was in the kitchen for 13 hours today. She was not happy with me when I got home - I tried to give her a hug and get a kiss and she just pushed away from me.

Bedtime now though -
