Ok, seriously?

So Sunday was a fantastic day. Went to church, came home, took a nap, mowed the lawn, then had burgers (since I wasn't able to grill on Thursday) and ice cream cake! Monday, slow day at work, but the drive home was interesting. The car overheated again. BAH!!! So I get home and do some searching, find nothing, and go back in to clean up and start relaxing when Jen calls. She hit Caitlyn's violin teacher's brick mailbox and blew a tire and broke the side mirror. Needs new mirror, four new tires (one of the few drawbacks of AWD, can't replace one tire or it destroys your transmission). *sigh* Tuesday, car isn't overheating. Wish it would make up its mind. Wednesday, I get told that I'm getting reimbursed for 3 weeks at 3 days a week worth of driving to Aberdeen, total, no more, because it isn't their "obligation" to pay me for mileage, even though I was never told that I would be driving 200 miles a day to get to work. It's OK though, cuz it isn't forever, and it is work. Then to top it off, the car does overheat on the way home. Thursday was the kicker, car overheats, but doesn't climb back down. I peg the guage, then pull over to let it rest some. No steam, no spillage, it does look like there was some blow-by from while I was driving, but nothing else. 10 minutes later, and the car is good to go. I make it all the way home, but it's hovering about the three quarter mark while I've got the heat blasting. Friday, the first day that the car starts to overheat in the morning! Then, get to work, start my day, and at 10 I leave and start to drive, towards Bragg!! Finally! I get to go to Bragg! However, after I get there, I'm sitting around doing nothing for about 90 minutes since they actually didn't have anything set up for me that I could do work on. So, I get a walk in as I head to Starbucks (on base, awesome), discover that my phone works perfectly in this building, no more outages, and I was just basically bored till I got something that I can work with and discover that I don't have to go back to Aberdeen on Monday. Hurrah! But, of course, the happiness couldn't last very long. Not 10 minutes after leaving for the day, and the car overheats again. One day, it will all be better, one day. Caitlyn was a little ill, but nothing major. Jen took whatever Caitlyn had and made it worse for herself (what an overachiever). We went looking at the new Forester's on Saturday to get a feel for them for Jen. So far, it looks good, but we aren't there yet and she still wants to check out a few other vehicles just in case. We made it to dinner with friends Saturday night, then went bowling. It was miserable for Jen cuz she just didn't feel well, but she wanted to be there. Hopefully this won't last too long for her.
