So I am normally a really easy going and happy person but this week has totally kicked my butt.
Last week like an idiot I had forgotten to pay our gas bill for the house so we have been out of gas since last Friday. They have been out here to turn it back on three times and there have been issues with the heater in the bathroom. Poor communication has resulted in repeated visits. It still needs to be properly done so we expect a plumber again tomorrow or Friday. The gas company is booked up so regardless of that it cannot be turned back on until Monday. It is about 30 degrees here now so we are cold here in the house and we have no hot water to shower, do dishes, etc. This has really worn me thin with all of the back and forth of plumbers and gas company workers.
Sunday while at a red light 20 miles away picking up my son from his dad's house my car died. No power at all, not even for the hazard lights. People were getting angry and honking and staring at me like I chose to sit in traffic like that. A nice man finally pushed me backwards into the parking lot of the nearest gas station. Dave picked me up and we got Dylan and then we got the car part way down the highway. We had this problem with my car a few months ago where the alternator was draining the battery. It was so busy so we only got it part way home. Then as I ready to take Dave's truck to my training Monday night after taking him to work and picking him up the window in his truck fell down so we had to tape up the window. This was also right as the cold front was coming through. I rode with a coworker and her girlfriend to this training in Dallas and back like this with the plastic we put over it coming down so it was very loud and cold. Dave has been working a lot so we have not been able to go and get my car for it to be fixed. This has not been my week at all. I really cannot take any more nonsense. Hopefully tomorrow the plumber will get it all fixed so when they come Monday there are no issues. I have another training in Dallas on Saturday so hopefully that will go well and Dave's window has been fixed where it is up again so at least there is that.
