And off the cliff

I didn't fry the transmission control module. I fried the transmission. Apparently they are incredibly sensitive to power surges and the one I used to jump the car was just TOO POWERFUL for it. All my zen about the car is gone. The transmission had to be replaced. It's a 7 hr job. I am SO... just all the things. I'm angry with Ford, with the engineer who designed the damn thing, myself for thinking jumping it wouldn't be a big deal, the shop because they told me the bad news. I JUST paid it off. It was supposed to last until I could build up a down-payment for when it broke. You know, in another 50,000 miles or so, not to have to replace the transmission because i had to jump start it!!! Instead it just... broke. I. Am. Gutted. After some time to reflect, the transmission has always been a bit wonky and was probably going to die. I just wish we could have scheduled it properly!

I am also blessed with an extremely kind, understanding husband who ran me out to the hospital on Monday so I could get my passwords and prep my boss to run my patient safety meeting. My boss ok-ed my continued WFH status, hubbs got to finally see my office and laugh at the pix I chose to put up (and how many are of the cat). We even stopped for dinner in Joshua on the way home. So even though my car is kaput, it's going to cost double what I was initially quoted, and things are gonna be kinda lean for a bit... we are ultimately ok. 

I have tiny tomatoes!

Also, tomato plants are THIRSTY.

HOW COULD I NOT POST PIX OF THE CUTEST VOID CAT?!?!??

The rest of the week was business as usual (as much as WFH can be). I am VERY glad my hubby wasn't home to hear my outbursts of frustration. All I can say is that some people are VERY lucky I don't actually know how to curse their bloodline to the 15th generation. 

I got a notification that my fitness tracker was down to 10% battery. That means the battery, when fully charged, lasts about a month and a half. Not too bad. I set it up ok 2/8 and it notified me on 3/24. 😁

I also am planning my next tattoo. It's gonna go on my left forearm. First tattoo I'll see all the time!! Hehe.

Turned out the car was ready on Wednesday. So hubbs took me to get it and I gave him back the jumper box. I'm never doing THAT again. The mechanic said that the transmission was probably going out anyway and the jump was just the catalyst. Sigh. Hubby keeps telling me it wasn't my fault, things just happen. I do know that, but it still sucks. I'm so grateful that he is an understanding man. 

Thurs and Fri I was able to be a real person again work again! I had to put on CLOTHES and DO things. I was glad to be home on wed, since the cat decided to throw up on the bedspread and I could put that STRAIGHT in the washing machine. Still, humans are creatures of habit and since IT has made it so my VPN kicks me out every hour, I was happy to be back at work.

Saturday hubbs and I hit the farmers market, then went to visit his mom, then meandered home.

New dumpster fire earrings 

A little treat on the way

The beers at lunch were brewed back home! Also featured WY bison (burger and... meatloaf?!?!)

When I have a problem, and my husband enables me. 😁

Sunday hubbs has to work, so I'll do mass, lunch with A, cleaning and such. Hopefully we can go grocery shopping after he is done with work. Its back to normal for a week.
