Sometimes, I Just Want to Scream...

 Yesterday was not so bad.  I woke up to what looked like a blizzard, but now you can hardly tell it snowed at all.  I was able to get estimates for a cross country move when a rep from the moving company I contacted was able to come by.  Great!

This morning, I decided to go to a noon showing of "Ready Player One" since it's a cloudy, rainy day.  Why, when I went to my car, was it dead as a doornail??  I had a new battery and alternator put in about 6 months ago!

I decided to call the dealership to let them handle it and their first available appointment is Friday!  What?  So, I called Mavis Discount where I had the original work done and they can take the car tomorrow, so that is what I'll do though right now I have no faith in them.  I'll call AAA in the morning to give me a boost or tow me if that doesn't work,

One of my friends that I've been trying to reach finally called and said she would drive to the movie, so I'm going to the late afternoon show.

Sometimes, I just want to scream, but then I have to admit that things are not so bad.  I can get the car dealt with tomorrow, I can still see the movie today and it seems to have stopped raining for the moment.  

Even in the midst of challenges, life is good and for that, I am grateful.

And it has been which is something I try to remember always. Thanks for my hugs!

It's hard to remember it at times. I try to look at the upside for everything, but there are times when that upside is hard to find. You are moving west for good?

Things worked out well. It turns out I had accidentally turned on a light on my rearview mirror and it drained the battery. All better!

Yes, I hope to be out West permanently by the end of the year. I had planned to do it next year anyway, but my mom is starting to have health issues. Her mind is still good, but she will be 88 in May, God willing, and she is starting to slow down. Miss Proud would never say it, but she needs me closer and I want to be there.

I have done that before, too. *hugs*

It's good that you are coming out to be with her. I know she will appreciate you being here and I'm sure you won't miss the winters back East (especially since they seem to extend into Spring now). Good luck!
