- I was supposed to have finished all my Thursday's sub con work, but didn't even come close, but by midnight, I was close to getting about 80% done. Need to go to bed. Exhausted.
- Today didn't turn out like I wanted. Thought we were going to get a 2 wheel alignment, but they wouldn't align it because the front passenger's wheel bearing needed to be replaced. Took it to our normal mechanic and he was worried and said we shouldn't drive it and found out the cost would be nearly $300. The other shop was about $400. Anyway, we ended up dropping the car with our mechanic overnight and he will work on it first thing in the morning when the parts get to him. We did not expect this repair and this was basically about 6 hrs of time not wasted, but unexpected for us.
- Furthermore, we found out that my husband's iPhone didn't have any phone numbers and the pics, 80% of them did not get backed up. We learned some valuable things about backups and what iPhone does or does not do with our Verizon service. My phone, which is not a smart phone, automatically backs up each night to the Verizon system. The iPhone does not. Anyway, I thought the iCloud was backing it up, but it was not. And I thought iTunes was backing it up when I would plug it in each time, which it does not unless you force it to. So, this took a bit of time to input at least the numbers I can remember onto it, which isn't everything. Thankfully we have all the pics on the computer.
- Haven't slept much the past 2 nights and tonight won't get much sleep. I don't do too well on so little sleep. I become extra sensitive, less sharp, more easily irritable.
- Plans were to do 1 min. workouts throughout the day, but I didn't NOTHING!
- Though all these inconveniences, my husband reminded me that we have many things to be thankful for - we have the money to pay for this unexpected car repair, my dad lent us his nice vehicle to drive, our mechanic can fix our emergency and rearrange his schedule to accommodate us, that the alignment place found this critical repair that we needed to make, that we have a trusted mechanic whose prices are very reasonable, that we weren't out on some trip or in a place when this would've been really bad for us. Thank you Lord for watching out for us, even though I feel irritated. You are for us!
