Bloody, Bloody, Bloody Hell

I aborted the trip because I was tired. I got everything done that I had intended to do, but it got late. Then I had to run the rent check over to Lincoln. Then I ate dinner, but I was tired, so I slept at home. I got up at 5 AM.

Thursday-- I made it here, but something is wrong with the car. I'm wondering if someone stole the catalytic converter. The house is worse than I had imagined. Mom is upset that I have a test tomorrow and will work next week.

I'm going to take a short nap and then study for my test. I did. But then I had problems falling asleep and overslept. There's a winter storm this afternoon, so I won't be able to come back to see Mom.

Yep, it looks like someone stole the catalytic converter off of my car. Will the hassles ever stop?

I couldn't find my mom's password book, so I sent a panicked email to my professor about taking the test. She suggested that I take the test elsewhere. Then I found the password book in the bathroom. I haven't tried accessing WiFi using it yet though. (It didn't work.) Mom said that there was info about a snow removal guy, but I haven't found that yet. We're having a winter storm. It's coming down in buckets.

There is next to no food in the house. Mom told me where to find soup though.

I'm taking a nap. I'm feeling way overwhelmed and slightly hysterical. I need some sleep.

I tried to order groceries for delivery tomorrow, but it told me to enter the CVV, and that it must be three digits, but it was three digits! I give up.

I'm going to go back to sleep again after having some soup.

At the End of the Day

Someone plowed the driveway, which is good. I think that I should go see Mom this afternoon because she was upset that I didn't return yesterday afternoon.

Ugh. I ordered food for delivery from Meijer but they were out of almost everything. I did get some spaghetti. I'll need to go to Kroger later.

I'm going back to sleep for a while. Mom called and woke me up. Then I got up. Mom's "friends" Deanna and Ken said that they would stop by to talk to me, so I waited a long time, only for Ken to say that they want to have dinner with me tomorrow night. I've tried to cancel with them twice, but they aren't taking no for an answer. They're pretty cavalier with my time.

I did get the Internet to work with my laptop though. I don't know what was wrong the other day.

Then I went to see Mom. I got the car registration and insurance card from her so that I can drive her car. She turfed all the stuff out of her purse and I sat with her while she went through it and put it back. I wound up staying past eight, and I found out why I need to leave by eight. They lock the doors, and I had to go down in the basement and press an intercom buzzer multiple times before someone buzzed me out. Then I was in the back of the building, and couldn't figure out how to get to the front where my car was. Eventually, after walking the wrong way, I found it.

And all my frustrations bubbled up to the top, and I was feeling loaded for bear. Someone was tailgating me on the way back, and I gave them the finger. I did stop at Kroger for food though.

I'm calming down. I need to figure out when my homework is due though. Then I'll go to sleep.
