Another day

Crap
Saturday morning I had to check the calendar twice. I thought it must have been Friday the 13th! First thing in the morning, I put our king size comforter in the washing machine along with Rachel's work uniform. Set it on Super size. About 15 minutes later, I look in the laundry room and water is all over the floor. I checked the hoses and they were dry. It was coming from under the washer. After mopping and toweling the floor, I thought that I would reduce the size of the laundry to large, and thankfully it didn't overflow again. That was just strange. I've done a couple more large loads since then and no more flooding.
After this fiasco, I went up town for my morning Starbucks at my favorite location. There was not one parking spot to be found. There was a Breast Cancer walk/run and roads were blocked off and I'm not about to pay to park in a garage. So, I went to another SB. I thought I'd eat healthy and ordered the oatmeal with the nuts and fruit. When I got home, I found that the barista did not put enough water in the oatmeal. It was like thick mud. I tried boiling some water and adding it but at that point it was like mush. Dang, it was not my morning.
The rest of the day didn't turn out too bad. It was about 80 degrees and the sun was shining.

This morning I went to see my mechanic. The subaru has been making a strange noise and it is getting louder, sounding sort of like an airplane. After taking it for a test drive, he says it is a rear wheel bearing. DAMN. Now I've got to pay some $200 for a rear wheel bearing and I still need to get 2 fan belts replaced for $150 before I go up north next month to visit. At this rate, I will have to sleep in the car since no family members want me to stay with them and I won't have the money for a hotel room. Maybe I can find a room at the Salvation Army.
