the annual tradition

if it weren’t for lil’ dude it still woulda happened…

…and but “it” i mean going to sleep late and getting up early. today i can just blame it on him, since HE’S the one that went off like a car alarm at 7:09am after i didn’t go to sleep till two. but this is the one weekend of the year i’m sick. not like i schedule it or anything, but i only get sniffly and sore-throated from sinus drainage about once a year…

…and this appears to be the weekend when it’s going down.

on top of that the car hesitated like a motherfucker when i went to start it – figured it for the starter (the most difficult and expensive part to replace of the three things it could be) but a quick autozone run had the battery test out bad…and i only went there ’cause that’s where the battery was from AND it was still under warranty. so at least that got swapped out for no dinero out of pocket…guess time will tell whether or not that actually works. but with the annual illness kicking in this weekend, could the financial clusterfuck that usually rides shotgun on the lonely-ass holidays be far behind?
