Oh boy, where do I start…


Let’s start with Owen. Several days after his dad arrived to San Antonio, Owen was getting ready to go golf with his dad. He threw out his back brushing his teeth!!

Around this time my windshield was hit by a rogue rock on the 1604 that pierced the glass. A super small hole.

So Sunday I come out to my car and see that I have a nice crack running from the top of the windshield all the way down to the bottom.

I remembered that I had bought some type of windshield coverage when I bought the car two years ago and to my surprise, it was five year coverage that included total replacement for up to 6 times.

So yesterday, I started contacting auto glass shops and one shop said they had my windshield and was ready to install that afternoon.

On my way to the shop, I’m rolling on the 410. If y’all know San Antonio, you know every highway is under construction. As in cruising, I hear this pop and the tire and driving assist alerts start going off. I pulled off of the highway immediately and there it was. A completely flat tire.

So I called for help to get my donut on. Call to postpone my windshield replacement appointment. I drove over to Discount Tire who replaced my tire.

Meanwhile, Owen had our yard aerated. And as they were poking holes in the yard, they severed our fiber optic line. So Owen fought with AT&T who came out but barely buried the wire. So hopefully they do it right when they send another guy out today.

And our solar panel system…. It died. Our garage doors started acting funky too.

I told a chaplain yesterday that God thinks I’m a super hero and I feel He thinks I’m a lot stronger than I am! He said that I was feeling a little like Job lol. Hello good morning order for Michael

Owen is moving better.

There is a lot more that I could add to this rant but yesterday was just over the top. And I think I’ll stop crying over that spilt milk.


New windshield on as of 20 minutes ago, new tire as of last night. Heading back in for whatever the day has for me!!


IS IT FRIDAY YET????
