Not in a good place right now. This is a vent more than an actual post and written from my iPhone so apologies in advance for any typos or grammar issues as proof reading will be minimal.
I started my new meds over the weekend – more on that later – and because of that I’m quitting a bad habit I should have quit long ago. As a result I’m cranky and my appetite is FUBAR. I feel like total shit.
Last night when I went to go pickup Paul I discovered our car battery was completely dead. It wouldn’t even turn over when we used our portable battery. We thought it was still under warranty so we figured we would wait til tomorrow (today) get it jumped and take it straight to the dealership.
I rushed home after work to have AAA come jump the car so I could then rush to the dealership for the 4pm appt. Meanwhile a buddy I haven’t seen for 2+ years texted me that he was in town from Miami for a couple hours today and wanted to meet up if I had time. He came over and waited with me for AAA.
When the tow truck came the guy said he could replace the battery for $105 total on the spot. I declined because I thought Paul had confirmed when he made the appt that we were still under warranty.
Of course that was not the case as I discovered AFTER driving 30min to the dealership. In fact it will cost $130 and I have to wait an hour which means I will be stuck in massive traffic trying to get back into SF during the peak of rush hour. And for this privilege I will pay an extra $25.
I could have been at home, catching up with an old friend. Instead I’m sitting in a waiting room, pissed beyond belief and not even sure who to be mad at. Kind of mad at myself for not explicitly asking Paul to check that this was covered and this wouldn’t all be one giant waste of my time. Shit like this does not help my obsessive need for control and asking a million questions whenever someone else is doing something gin my behalf.
End rant. For now.
I’ll get over it. I know there are worse things.
