The Never-Ending Day

Whoo! What a day! You know those days that you just can't wait to finish, but time itself seems against you as the hours tick by slowly? Well, today was one of those days.


My morning started out as any other up until I went to my car to leave for work. My car stalled twice while driving before it came to a complete stop in the middle of the road. My car has been struggling with it's clutch, thermostat, check engine light, the starter, the breaks, the stereo, and anything else you can think of. After pushing my car UP a hill, Austin was able to get my Mazda to pop start and get us both to work.
My final project for my FHS class was due by 3:30 pm today. I had planned to leave work and take a long lunch to drop off my project at the Redwood Campus and head back to work for the day. I left, as planned, at noon. I spent quite a bit of time trying to find out where I was to turn in my project. It is an online class so I didnt know where my instructor's office was. I went back to my car to drive around.. to find that my car would not start. The engine wouldnt even roll over. I had been begging my car all day to at least get me to the school so I could turn in my project. My poor little car did just that before it slipped off into death. I had to purcahse a one day slcc parking pass so I could find some way back to work and leave my car there. I finally found the destination for my project, turned it in, and called for help. I called several people, all working. Jeni, Ausin's sister, saved the day! She came and picked me up and took me back to work!
After work I was supposed to go to a cardio step class with my friend Aryn from work. Needless to say, I did not make it to that class. Aryn dropped me off at home where I spend the next several hours doing homework. I still cannot believe that my instructor assigned 7 assignments, discussion posts, AND the final project all to be due in the same week! Ugh! BUT I got all of my homework done, luckily.
I had to stay at Austin's last night because I dont live quite close enough to walk to work. Austin came and picked me up in my car, since he had gone and gotten it from SLCC earlier. We spent the next while revving the engine at every stop, rolling through stop signs, and pushing the car (well, Austin pushed). Finally my car made it to its resting place at Austin's apartment. I will probably have to have it towed from there and possibly sold for parts. After almost three years, my poor white car can finally rest in peace.

Now for a "life" updated:
Things have been good at home. I am finally all unpacked! :) Koda has settled in for the most part. Him and Leo are the best of friends!

Britt and I are budies too!

We had an interesting cookie incident! We were so excited to make chocolate chip cookies! We had put them together and waited for them to bake. I began putting them on the plate to cool down and....

Oops! The cookies fell right into Koda's food bowl!! Only a few of the cookies were salvagable! AND we made a giant cookie!!

So Turky-Day is on it's way. The Broderick thanksgiving was held earlier in November because Grandma Sherri and Granpa Russ are moving to California! I am excited for them but will miss them too!

We made silly candy turkeys at the get together. Here is mine:

The Holidays are coming quickly! I need to get a "substitute" care ASAP or start taking the bus everywhere. But hey, It'll be an experience right??
