I feel like crud, the car's acting like crud...

Not sure which is doing worse, me or my car. I started to head out earlier today and the engine wouldn't keep a steady RPM, was shaking, sputtering, and for once actually activated the "check engine" light (The check engine light has at least been more reliable than the "check battery" light. The only time the battery light has every come on was when it flickered almost imperceptibly moments before the batter died for good after my alternator failed. Never mind that I had known for a couple blocks that the battery was dying and I was hoping to nurse it the few remaining blocks to the service station). I am going to hope that this isn't one of the "DexDeath Cool" related problems I've heard about recently (I wouldn't care if my car hadn't had any cooling related problems, what I've be reading about sounds like something that would have shown up in the textbook for my TQM course as an example of What Not To Do. Next car is not going to be a GM model) since those seem to like to run into the high three digit and even four digit repair bills.

I'd ask for a ride to the Formal except that to top things off my body has decided that it's time for me to get sick again. Headache, phlegm, the occasionally fun touch of light headedness... Not even a work day and it's still probably only caffeine that's keeping me going. I've made a discover, anime has it all wrong. The human body doesn't contain an endless supply of blood, it's an endless supply of snot.

How fun, I not only get to call the doctor and find out if I can even see him Monday, but my car will be in the shop at the same time. I'd start begging for a ride, but until I know when I'll be able to see the doctor it's rather pointless.

I suppose I at least get finally making a cranky LJ post out of it. Wouldn't want to continue failing to meet that LJ cliche.

Go ahead and add some cussing here, I just don't feel up to typing it in myself.
