The Shape of Today

Getting Hammered

Oh, stop giggling. Not like that.

This has been a rough week, thus far. We've been getting clobbered by round after round of heavy rain, with thunderstorms thrown in just for fun. One of these apparently took out Dad's desk phone and the cordless yesterday, I came home from work to find them both dead. I'll need to try and remedy things since the kitchen phone is the only operating phone at this time. The cordless phone is kind of a necessity now for Dad.

Firstly, though, another technological issue of sorts: my SERVICE ENGINE SOON light popped on as I was driving through one of the monsoons Tuesday evening, about a mile from home. As I'd just had an oil change last week, service shouldn't actually be necessary. I tried re-seating the gas cap, but that didn't help so I spent my driving time yesterday with this automotive Eye of Sauron glaring at me, which coupled with the horrid weather did not improve my mood. I'll have to make a call or two (with my cellphone) and see if I can get this checked today or tomorrow. Gotta take Dad down to Georgia Retina Monday; I don't want to do it with potential trouble under the hood. I'm pretty certain it's just something that needs to be reset because I don't see, feel, hear, or otherwise sense anything wrong...but I still want a professional to look into it.

And I'll need to visit the grocery store as well, several key items have run out or are about to. And dodge more raindrops in between, because this stuff is gonna continue until at least Sunday. Yikes.

Yup, I've had enough of this "adulting" jazz...
