Thursday

[S and S 12]

I have taken 4 xtra strength tylenol and it still feels like Edward Scissorhands is carving a topiary out of my uterus. Oh and yeah...guess once again I'm not pregnant.

I'd go home but it's too fkg cold at home.

I am feeling your pain too. Aunt flow came to visit so my hopes were up for nothing

Good morning Charles!

Jen, that totally sucks a booger!! Hopefully they will have some compassion. What can you do if it will not start!

Jeanne...I'm coveting you!!! With windchill it is like -10 here in Ohio also.

Staashi...that is great the baby is doing well. I had so many ultrasounds when I was pregnant with Malek because of the diabetes. Also, lots and lots of stress exams.

Mornin' S and S

Morning to you too!!!

Morning everyone. Hope you all are doing well today and staying warm. It's chilly down here in ATL, but not too bad yet. It's supposed to be in the teens tomorrow morning. Soooo not my ideal weather to drag a baby in and out of.

BTW...TWILA!!!!! I'm impatiently waiting to see the bebes!!! Hope all is going well with you, Hicham and double trouble. Happy belated birthday to Hana and Zak!

I have emerged triumphant, but almost went down in crushing defeat. So I stayed home from work to plead my case with the land lady. They have the choice of a $50 fine or towing. Please, I begged, I’ll take my shovel and shovel around and under my car, so you can’t tell the difference. Nope, we’re going to tow. Nope, we’re going to tow. Nope, we’re going to tow.

At this point, I’m a blubbering mess, so I call my dad up at work. He suggested I try to jump it, since it was too slow to catch apparently. Well, earlier it had been 6 am and no one would give me a jump. Now it was 8:30 and there was no one around to give me a jump.

Did I mention that with the wind, it’s -35 or 40?

Ah, but there is the little corner grocery store that I’ve been avoiding since I was nearly assaulted a few months ago. It’s owned by muslims. They like me. Maybe they’ll give me a jump.

So I dash over, frozen to the bone after being outside now for more than a half an hour, and ask for a jump. There’s only one guy in the store, but he lets me take his car, alhamudulilah.

This is the first time I’ve jumped my car by myself, so I hook it up like my friend’s husband did last time – both clamps on the borrowed car, red one on my battery and black one on the chasse. Nothing happened.

Call my dad, crying again. He suggests I put the black one on the battery and listen for their battery to go down. Ah ha, there are sparks, it’s working.

Alhamdulilah, it starts while I’m on the phone with my dad. I just completely break down and keep mumbling thank God, thank God, thank God, which freaks my dad out, lol.

Now I have another dilemma. I have 2 running cars, one that I have to return. I can’t turn off my car, otherwise it may not start again. And my purse is up in the apartment. Thankfully the very nice Russian maintenance guy happens to be walking by. I run up and ask him if he can watch my car. He doesn’t understand English very well, and thought I wanted help pushing it. Luckily through gesturing, he understands and I manage to return the car and get my stuff.

Alhamdulilah. Now I have to bake cookies for the guy at the store and the maintenance guy. Alhamdulilah.
