With Christmas only 3 weeks away, there's been lots of planning going on around here for meals, small gifts, gathering with friends, and other festive seasonal things. Until today.
Husband's work truck broke down yesterday and we had to have it towed to a shop. We got the call today. Major repairs are apparently necessary that are going to cost us anywhere from $600-$900. F*ck!
I will admit, compared to the bad luck we normally have this time of year (I have a superstitious dread of December) this isn't the end of the world. We may be eating a lot of beans this month, and a functional vehicle might be our only gift to each other this year, but it could be (and has been) much, much worse.
But still. Talk about putting a damper on my holiday spirit! I had planned to dig out the decorations and begin sorting them today. One phone call from the mechanic and all of my plans and Christmas cheer dissolved like a balloon with a pin in it.
Plenty of time for the fairies to sort this little problem out.
ReplyDeleteHave you sent your latter to Santa yet? Maybe you could add 'New Truck'; he's very generous!
ReplyDeletep.s. I always send latters; letters are so last year.
DeleteSanta and Tom's fairies need to get to work spreading some holiday cheer ASAP!
