I’m taking tomorrow off from the day job. I have to take at least four days off before the end of the year to use up some vacation time. Because even though I’ve already taken off over two weeks this year, I still have a ton of vacation time stored up because it just accumulates back really fast.
But that at least gives me an excuse to take tomorrow off. Only I don’t get to lounge around at home. I have a dentist appointment and then I need to get my car serviced. And I have a problem the mechanic needs to look at. Those two little things on the top of the hood that spray out washer fluid onto the windshield? Mine no longer spray anything. We’ve refilled the washer fluid, so it’s not that it’s empty. It just refuses to spray anymore.
So I get to spend my day off driving around town. And sitting in the showroom waiting area while the mechanics work on my car. The same showroom waiting area where, on a previous occasion, I saw a mouse come out from under the couch, sniff the air, and then run back under. So I never sit on the couch and always keep my feet up in the chair with the rest of me. And never put my purse on the floor.
Getting my car serviced is always very stressful on my nerves. And painful for my legs.
Halfway there!
First, congrats on the word count. Halfway there. Yippee! Hopefully the mechanic isn’t too bad. Hope they get all the stuff fixed. Those sprayer things on cars are only like $10 too (at least they were on the vehicle we replaced ours on). We had a car where they fell off. Just cracked somehow. We were without windshield sprayer-thingys (I know, so technical) for like a year before we decided to investigate getting new ones. We ordered them from the parts store and my husband replaced them in a few minutes. You’d think we would have thought to do that…oh i don’t know…the entire year before.
Go you, on the word count! You’re doing AWESOME!
Happy day offof work…maybe you’ll have a chance to think through more of your story and tear through the rest of Nano!
