The great majority of today has been composed of fail.
After realizing this morning that I'd failed to submit a term paper, I was feeling pretty down. All of the other stress and current events haven't helped. I decided I wanted to have medicinal buffet. Since Lisa had a dead hard drive on her laptop and I have a spare one to lend her, I suggested we go up to Kenosha and stop on the way at a buffet in Waukegan I've wanted to try.
That went well, but after doing grocery shopping in Kenosha, my car died. I had to have it towed home, where it's now sitting in the driveway. I thought I'd borrow my parents' car to get Lisa back to Chicago and pick my stuff up. My mother wasn't home yet, so I laid down with Lisa to snuggle while waiting for them. That was easily the best part of the day.
I woke up in an hour and a half and nobody was home yet. My dad had texted me shortly prior to ask what I needed and tell me that he was in Milwaukee. Milwaukee? I called and found out my mother had driven up to the hospital there to get his eye looked at. Nothing serious; post surgical redness that the doctor wanted to see. But Lisa and I are stuck in Kenosha without a car. She's got a bunch of stuff she needs to do. I have a bunch of my stuff down at her place in Chicago. I'd just been planning to spend an hour or so in Kenosha and drive back to Chicago with the laptop, then go see Danae. Instead, once my mother gets back, I'll drop Lisa off in Uptown. I may or may not stop in to see Danae depending on the time. Then I'm going home. Where I would likely have been better off staying all weekend to begin with.
I have a final at 8 in the morning this week. I was thinking about driving to it, but at least not having a working car keeps me from giving in....
