Bad Car!!!

So I come out of work, rushing and cutting it close, trip over the cord of the vendor who was packing up their "singing in the shower" contest, and find out that my car won't start.  Wouldn't even attempt to start and the radio didn't come on.  I kicked at it and threw a minor hissy fit.  Then I dug out my AAA card.  Expired.  Did I renew it?  No.  Crap.  Jog back across the parking lot, dodge the shampoo people, and get a coworker to come out and give me a jump.  Car still won't start.  I kicked it...and it didn't help at all...so I called the neighbor-lady and let her know to expect my daughter because I was having trouble and going to be late.  Then I called my daughter and left a voicemail reviewing our "If an adult isn't there" plan. (I feel every school aged child, even one with a parent who is "always" home should have this emergency "if an adult isn't home" plan.)

My car was still attached to the coworker's truck and he said to give it just one more try.  And it started!  Yea!!!   So off I go home.  Except, now, I'm late and the traffic is bad.  Really bad.  Second gear on the highway with my left calf aching from constant clutch pressure bad.  My oil light came on...and my temperature gauge started to climb.  Crap!  But I was stuck because there wasn't anywhere to go.  I turned the heat on full blast and opened my window (to let the heat out) but still my temperature needle crept up.

But I made it home.  Munchkin did exactly what she was supposed to.  She and the fluffball were fine.  When I turned the car off, it started right back up.  Good.  Just a fluke then.  I may replace the battery anyway though.  

The weather is nice and I'm feeling pretty good and then I check SMO and there's someone there who just rubs em the wrong way and I want to fight.  But it's silly sh*t and it's online.  I don't want to fight with her, I just stressed enough that I want to fight with someone.  I think I should take a long walk in the nice weather to clear my head.
