OK well in my last post I think I mentioned how I had my cousin bring my car to the window guy. By the way, this has nothing to do with anything, but what do you call that guy? I mean the guy that works on the engine/motor is a mechanic. Is there a better term for the guy who does windows? If anybody knows, tell me. For me, he's the window guy.
OK so Saturday, my cousin drops the car off and swears it'll be done by the time I return from A.C. He calls me while I'm there and tells me the window won't be in until Monday so I won't have my car until then. This must've been right after I had my pina colada because all I said was OK.
Well on my way home I started to stress because I absolutely had to go somewhere on Sunday and had no way to get there. I texted my friend (my blog co-writer) but she never got back to me that night. I had no idea if she got my message but I hadn't wanted to disturb her because I knew she was busy entertaining her pastor and his wife. She'd been planning that dinner all week!! So I finally called another friend who was going to give me a ride and later go and pick me up. I was able to go to bed somewhat relieved at about 1 am.
At about 8 am, my phone rings and it's her!!!! She said something to me about loaning me her car after church and coming to get me. Then she said go back to sleep, I'll call you later. I vaguely remember what she said because I was already asleep!!! I mumbled OK I think and rolled back to sleep. Then 5 minutes later at about 10 am (LOL) the phone rings again. It's her again and she's telling me she's on her way. My thoughts are scrambling to get together--where is she going? And then I caught on. Ohhhhhhh!!!
I hurry out of bed, brush my teeth, wipe here and there, wash my face, put hair in a scrunchy and fall into a pair of sweatpants. Before I go downstairs, I call my other friend and let her off the hook. It was going to be such a hassle for her but she would've done it anyway. She's great.
So I go down and there they are--all big annoying smiles --my friend and her hubby, who is lately just as bubbly as his wife! Normally, bubbliness is cute but I had not even had coffee yet. So I wasn't thinking that either one of them was very cute even though they were there to do ME a favor. LOL
I am soooooo NOT a morning person. My perfect job would start at about 11 am and end about 8 or 9pm or even later. I love to be up at night and sleep during the day like a vampire. LOL
OK so they took me all over Jersey City. I don't really remember what we did. I was half asleep. I think we stopped at a bakery. We went to their apartment and She started making breakfast. She is such a hostess.
So I left, did what I had to do, and came back about 4:30 pm. And then they really did kidnap me because I did not get home until 9 pm. She made dinner--eggplant Parmesan. Her hubby loves it and she will make it but not eat it. I never thought I liked it but I had to have a taste because it really just looked like lasagna. She put so much cheese on it. It was very good.
The next day I got up early because I had to take the bus and trains to work. But then I suddenly decided that I was physically exhausted. I went back to bed and slept until 11 am!!! It was great. My phone had not rang once. That never happens. God knew I needed rest. LOL
I call my cousin and ask if the car is ready. No it isn't he says but it should be by latest 2 pm! I call at 2 pm. It's not ready!!!! I start to stress. I NEED my car. The thought of public transportation is just too much for me to bear. LOL So I make him pick me up to take me to run some errands and tell him let's just go get the car. The window guy can call when he's ready to put the window in. We drive up to the place and my car is parked right out front with a brand new window!!!!!!!!!
So I took my car away and went to do my errands in my own car. I missed it. Yesterday I went to work and after work I went to get my tire fixed. I had been driving on my dummy tire for weeks!! Today was a late day at the NJ Inspection Center in Secaucus. I went and I thought all they had to do was look that I had put the new window in but nooooo. They put my car through a bunch of tests again. So I started to get nervous. What if something happened in the weeks since last time I was there? What if I fail again? What happens? I hated it. In school I was never really nervous for tests because I studied and I knew I'd be OK. But how do you study for inspection? Anyway, I was so happy when the guy put the new sticker on and he congratulated me. He should've congratulated the car!
