I should have known that things were going too well for me. For the past month, I was floating around with the thoughts of moving to Playa in September. I put all my plans into motion and started waiting for everything to fall into place. I should have known better that things wouldn't go so swimmingly for me. They never do.
First, no one came to my Open House yesterday. Tomorrow will be 4 weeks that my place has been on the market and I’ve only had a few bites on it. I also found out that our building may need to have the roof replaced and this could cost each of us a few thousand dollars!!
My friend, Stewart, called my this morning to tell me that he is going to wait another year to do the Whaleshark Tour that we had planned when we meet in Playa in a few short weeks. He wants to wait until his son is old enough to participate. I completely understand, but it doesn’t lessen the fact that I’m disappointed and was truly looking forward to this. It was one of the major reasons why I planned the trip.
After I got off the phone with Stewart, I decided to go into my online checking account and do some balancing when I noticed I deducted my mortgage twice this month!! CRAP!! So, now my checking account sits in the negative. I jumped into my car to go over to the bank and see if they can reverse one of the payments and my car was DOA!! DEAD! I just had the battery cleaned and checked, oil changed, and air conditioner fixed last Thursday, so I was ticked off. I ran back inside the office and asked my boss to jump the car for me. He did this while I was on the phone with the bank trying to make a transfer so my checking account was no longer in the zeros.
After the car started I took it over to the shop where I had the work done. I just have to say that I love the guys there. They were the only bright spot in my day. They were very concerned about what was wrong and had me in a free courtesy car within 5 minutes.
And to top it off, I haven’t been feeling well since Friday. I’ve been having lower abdominal pain and nausea….but it hasn’t been anything strong enough to warrant me going to the doctor just yet. Oh...and I'm developing a heel spur in my right foot. I'm supposed to lay off the running, waitressing, and flip flops...yeah right.
I’m considering postponing my trip to Playa in July....WHAA!!!
This day just sucks!
Edit: Just found out car will be $650.00 and it HAS to be fixed. It's only money, right?

Just remember that everything happens for a reason. Things can only go up from here.
Sweetie I am sorry. When it rains it pours doesn't it. There is always a reason but you are a strong woman and will see a way to get back on top. Hang in there!
I'm sorry, dear Vanessa! Days like that just suck...but to look on the bright side, it is good practice for some of the frustrating days you are bound to have when you are here. By the time you get your house sold/everything done to move, living here will seem like a breeze!
that was me, btw, Heather. Not this Anon E. Mouse person.
Only a short notice as I am in a rut myself- keep your chin up. YES that was a shitty day by the sound of it. BUT there are still three weeks to go on the house- ALSO: the one who set the deadline are you and only you........ so don't stress yourself over it!! Playa will not run away. I know it is hard to not get frustrated and be patient in a situation like this- but hey, some say patience is a virtue. None of mine, mind you- but well.........

Everything for a reason - I know you dont see the reason right now, but you will one day, I promise.
Keep on smiling, when ever one door closes - go look for a window to climb thru !
