When it rained it poured
Today is such a black day for me. On the way to downtown, my car stalled right in front of the stoplight! It was running out of gas !! I did notice the gas was running low yesterday morning and did make a mental note to myself that the car needed a refill of gas. However, due to all the running around and the book sales, I totally forgot about it yesterday and this morning. Luckily two Samaritans helped me to push the car to a place less obstructive, else every motorist will be cursing me for the backup.
Thanks goodness there was a gas station about 10 minutes walking distance away. I walked there, got a mineral water bottle from the car wash boys, filled it with gas, walked back to the car, tried to start the car, wouldn’t start, walked back to the gas station, got another coke bottle, filled up both bottles, tried to start the car, wouldn’t start, sweat like a pig, a bit panicked, tried again to start the car, and I arrived at the place of appointment more than an hour late!
When I arrived home at almost 8.00 p.m, I realised that when I was in a hurry to get out of the door this morning, I have forgotten to submit links of a few posts to the relevant networks and they were all expired by now, 12 hours later. Not only that, got a message saying my account has been suspended when I logged on to one of the networks to finish up some pending posts.
Oh well, I hope that’s all for today, no more new discoveries…..
