Do you ever have one of those days where when one thing goes wrong the rest of the day follows suit and everything goes wrong? That was my day yesterday.
It started off having a vet appointment for Tucker (just a re-check to see if the Giardia was gone-it was, yay!). I'm standing at the vet waiting to check Tucker in and there are dogs all around us, and what 9 month old puppy doesn't want to go play? Well he tries running to a small beagle and his collar slips off and before you know it he's free! I am stunned and the only thing I can think to do is start yelling "Treat, Tucker want a Treat"? Apparently, he's caught onto that because he just keeps prancing away. Luckily there was a guy next to me (holding 2 other dogs), and he grabs Tucker, so I get the collar back on and everything is dandy (minus my embaressment).
I'm almost out of gas so I decide to stop by the gas station and get some gas and a car wash before I head home. There was probably about 5 different pumps open so I pull into one put my credit card in, get a car wash and continue to get some gas. In the meantime Tucker is in the back seat and keeps barking at me,and slobbering all over my window, because I'm not paying attention to him. Well I keep trying to pump, the little screen says it's fueling, but clearly no fuel is going into my car. The guy next to me sees me looking a bit frazzled as asks if I need help. He comes over and can't get it to go either, so I run into the gas station and a girl comes out and helps me. Apparently with the cold weather pump 4 and 6 (I was on 6) are finicky and don't always work right, so she has me slowly push the handle and of course it starts working. I would choose one of the 2 finicky ones when there are many open!
I get in my car and I wait in the car wash line for about a 1/2 hour before I finally get in there.
Side Note: I don't like car washes where you have to line your tire up with the track and you put your car in neutral and it pulls you through the car wash. In fact, it stresses me out and scares me because I never can get it lined up and the people behind me honk and get angry. Well maybe they've never honked, but I always think they are on the verge of it and I hate getting honked at!
So anyways, I drive until I find a car wash where you just pull in, sit there and it washes it :) Back to the story, I pull in, the was starts, Tucker gets scared and I just watch the blue and pink soap wash my pretty little car. Well it just stops, I'm wondering if it's done because the back door opens to drive out, but i'm pretty sure I didn't get rinsed off all the way, but the sign never says go, it just says stop. So I wait about 5 min, then drive out. It would break on me! I park, go back inside the gas station (in the meantime notice all the blue soap on the back of my car), and tell them it broke. They give me a free car wash and go re-set the car wash. Well the line is longer than when I first went in so I say screw it, go home, get a bucket of water and pour it on the back of my car to get the soap off (haha which I guess then iced up my parents driveway, whoops!).
It's almost like you are just waiting for the next thing to go wrong, when you have a day like that.
Happy Sunday, go Vikings!
