Trying to relax

January 25th, 2009 at 03:55 am

Things like to pileup at once.

1. School started last week and I still do not have one of my textbooks even though I ordered it awhile ago. I have tried contacting the seller a few times and he has ignored all of my messages. I checked the library and the book is not available. And I am not willing (just yet anyway) to buy the book from the school for $150 and risk not being able to return it should I receive my book in the mail. Luckily a friend is coming to my rescue and is willing to copy whatever pages I need.

2. I have a possible head gasket leak in my car. Or it is a leak in the power steering. I'm not sure and the mechanics at Pep Boys can't decide. I am taking my car to another mechanic recommended by my boyfriend's dad (who is a mechanic) on Tuesday to find out exactly what is wrong. I talked to this mechanic earlier today and he said that he doubted it was a head gasket leak (rare for my type of car apparently). But if it is, it will cost about $900.

3. We have mold or mildew. It has been raining the past 3 days and I just discovered the mildew/mold today. I don't know if it is caused by the rain or maybe a leak, but someone is coming on Monday to look at it. I decided to do some research on mold on the internet and freaked myself out when I read about toxic black mold. No more google for a few days.

4. And I am having my wisdom teeth removed next week. I hate needles. And I'm not fond of looking like a chipmunk either.

Writing it all down helps. I'm going to start dinner and then do some cleaning. I am the only one I know who is relaxed by cleaning.

    Wow, what a week. I hope it is not your head gasket that can be very expensive and good luck with the extraction

    Good luck with the car! And the teeth, ugh! I can see why you need to relax!

    There is something soothing about putting things in order. . . enjoy the cleaness of your house.

    There is something very comforting about having control over something. I'm hoping that all of this will be solved quickly and it will be peaceful for awhile.

    I hear you on the google fright about black mold - you are right to just walk away!

    Good luck with everything. Keep an eye on that mold, it can be a health hazard.

    damn - i hate car stuff! does your car make weird noises when turning one or both ways? if it does something when you turn the wheel then it would most likely be the powersteering.
    i was lucky on the wisdom teeth front - i had my back teeth pulled and my wisdom teeth replaced them. but i remember it being not nice. my only advice on that front is, take painkillers before the needles wear out, otherwise you'll be kicking yourself later! tooth pain and period pain are the only times i take painkillers! good luck!

    The weird thing is, my car is driving just fine. Not waiver-ing, noises, drifting, etc. The biggest problem is that my CD player skips sometimes (and I know it is not the CD)-and even though I know little about cars, I doubt the CD player is causing a leak! Lol.

    I fully intend to take painkillers. I am such a wuss in the face of pain.
