Stranded

Like a dumbass, I couldn’t just chill when I got home yesterday from Toronto. I had to go tinker with my car. I wound up draining my car battery all night last night and am now stuck at home.

The passenger side door has a seal that has come loose and was simply hanging off the car. It also has a noisy seal around the window. I put the keys in the ignition last night to bring down the power window on the passenger side. Problem is, after fixing the seal, I totally forgot to shut the car off.

Kelly is out of town until midafternoon, and the house is completely empty of food, as we were planning on being out all week. That means I’m down to using my bike to get around until my car battery recharges.

It all brings to mind the post I was going to write about how dependent we are on cars. Guess I’ll have more to say about that very soon!

UPDATE: Got a battery charger which also has enough oomph to crank the car. After lunch I’m gonna give it a try and see if it will get me to work.

Honestly, after traveling so much, all I wanted was just a normal day.
