So as my title says, last Monday was one of the worst Mondays that I have had in a long time. It started off early in the morning, 7:30 am, and if you know me then you know that is not a good time of morning for me to be waking anyway. But that had little to do with the bad day. I had to drive up to Louisburg to get my mom's prescription from her doctor's office because she was in SC with my Nina. Nina had been in the hospital since Thursday with complications that they could not quite pinpoint. So I set out early to get the paper that would allow me to get the prescription filled so that I could meet my Aunt at 10:30 when she was going to leave for SC.
About half way through my journey to the doctor's office my car started making weird noises and shaking slightly. I called Matthew with a slight air of laughter in my voice and told him that if I broke down that he would have to call in late to work. Mind you I did not think anything of it because didn't think it would really happen. About ten minutes later it happened! My car suddenly started shaking uncontrollably and then suddenly my entire left front tire separated from my car and rolled across the line of oncoming traffic, nearly hitting another car. It continued to roll through the ditch and right into the pond on the other side of the street. All the while I was skidding on the road and over onto the shoulder and finally into the grass.
Needless to say I called Matthew back and he showed up about thirty minutes later. I had to take the Jeep and get to the doctor's office while Matthew waited for the tow truck to pick up the car. I was still a little freaked out about what had happened and the doctor's office was making me wait for an extra long time so I basically broke down in the waiting room in front of about 8 other people. I bet they thought that I was going crazy or something! But I finally got the prescription and took it to my aunt. Matthew waited even longer than I did for the tow truck and ended up having to pay $150 for the tow since we didn't have the registration on us. But after all of that we got the car to my dad's and he said that he would work on it for us.
We ended up leaving my dad's house when it was still morning time! After all of that Matthew was able to get back to work around the same time that he would be coming back from his lunch break. And now I am without a vehicle for a while.
