A comedy of errors

...In the house this morning - the final corker being the car battery which is flat as a very flat thing that's been run over by a steam roller. As is the battery charger! RAOTFL. A call to the AA is being made as I speak - no acupuncture for me today.

Ah well, I guess I'll just have to sit on my comfy sofa, well laden with cushions and drink tea and do some work on my book and the Roman fic. Such a shame, when I could have been lying on a couch in Bolton, being stuck with pins like a witch's dolly.

The Gods were truly against us today. I kinda felt all morning that we wouldn't be going, somehow. And what with the continuing hurricane out there, maybe it's just as well. I really wasn't looking forward to the drive across the moors in this weather.
Mood:: 'amused' amused
location: Back inside, cosy and warm

Aww, I hope you didn't actually need the acupuncture too much against pain. But in situations like the one you're describing I, too, tend to think that there might be some sense in it, or, as our favorite anthropologist says: "Nothing in this universe happens randomly"

And I, not at all being self-absorbed here ;-), am all for you continuing to write the Roman WIP. ::g::

Indeed!

Book forst, fic later. I have time for both today! Yay!

No, I'm not in pain, thanks. It's just ongoing treatment for chronic tiredness. It's working VERY well, thankfully. (o:

Such hardship...... :) It'll be good to have a lazy day to recharge. (And of course work on the Roman fic is always good*G*)

Pity you had to miss the acupuncture appt though, my parents both go (for various aches and pains) and they say it does wonders.

You know, every time something like this happens to me I just think "perhaps it happend this way exact for the reason that I wouldn't do something I had planned to do". *g* And reading words like "hurricane" and "drive across the moors" I have to say, this kind of thinking doesn't strike me as too silly in this context. ;-)

Yes, a flat car battery is a pretty annyoing thing but better it happened before you started than having your car dying while in the midst of your drive.

In a hurricane.

While driving across the moors.

*g* The question is, *why* was the battery flat at all? Did you leave something turned on, is there some short-circuit that's sucking your battery empty while you're not looking or is it the dynamo that fails to provide energy to keep the battery filled up?

Heh heh. Yeah... it's beautiful out there today. A gorgous day for driving 'cross country. Though, to my mind, there's nothing like t' moors in the teeth of a gale. ::G::

Hmmm. I see where you're coming from, though it's more Wuthering Heights than anything else up here. (o:

As per the battery; it's happened before. The AA man couldn't tell what happened either time, but we're starting to suspect the GPS unit. We've started disconnecting it, anyway, in the hope that solves the problem.

You know, every time something like this happens to me I just think "perhaps it happend this way exact for the reason that I wouldn't do something I had planned to do".
Oh me too. My mother rolls her eyes in a meaningful way and says; "it wasn't meant to be." ::G::
