Another week in February has come and gone! It was mostly uneventful. There was a predicted "snowstorm" for this week, but that day just ended up being filled with a little sleet. It wasn't nearly as bad as they were predicting. They are once again predicting snow for today and possibly Tuesday and Wednesday. I haven't really paid attention to amounts of possibility! Then yesterday, omg, it was the WORST! I had a 7am oil change. I'm a morning person, so that time didn't bother me, I scheduled it for then too. It's like a 45 minute drive though, so it's a pain. I went to my car dealer because I had 2 free remaining oil changes left. Anyway, once I'm getting checked in, I was notified about a safety recall on a passenger airbag sensor. They said they didn't have any in stock now, but they'd call me when they came in and I can get it fixed and all that jazz. No big deal. I was also supposed to have an eye exam around 10, so you know, busy day. Two hours pass as I am sitting in the waiting room. I thought this is taking way longer than an oil change warrants. I check in with my service desk person and she went to check in with the mechanic...they had the safety part that was needed and he was already tearing my car apart to install it. I was like uhhh...this is not good! The one day I make two appointments to get stuff done and I was going to miss my eye exam. She told me he'd be another hour which meant I would miss my exam, so I get that canceled and rescheduled and then I proceed to wait. And wait. And wait. I waited another two and half hours! I was there from 7-11:30!! And I sadly could only read for 3 of those hours as my head started killing me and they didn't have any caffeine. I was tempted to ask the shuttle to drive me down and across the street to a QT to get a soda but then finally I got the text that my car was done. I sign my paperwork and then they could NOT find my car! I was like WTF. I am usually pretty patient and understanding when it comes to these kind of things, but firstly, the guy just started working on the repair without even checking to see if I could wait the extra 3 and half hours! The ONE time, ONE TIME, I had a second appointment and it all went to crap! If that wasn't enough, about 15 minutes from arriving home, some jerk almost crashes into me as he tried to cut me off...for no reason at all as he had NO ONE in front of him and not two minutes later he's cutting back across all the lanes to get to his exit! I was fuming! I was without caffeine and FUMING! So now next Saturday I will have my eye exam and hopefully get new glasses as I want to get the transition lenses that turn into sunglasses in sunlight as I am tiring of switching back and forth when I go to festival style places where you're outside looking at booths and then pop into stores that line the street. It's always been a pain, but now I'm just like give me the transition ones!! Lol.
Just remind me never again to put more than one appointment in one day. I will no longer GET IT ALL DONE in one go. I will just have to continue to parse it out in weekend after weekend!
Anyway here's what I got this week:
The Forest King's Daughter by Elly Blake--super excited for Elly's books again! This one ALMOST arrived on Thursday which would've been SHOCKING! But alas tracking lied to me. It did arrive Friday though, so that was a plus!
The Last Raven by Helen Glynn Jones--an impulse decision at B&N yesterday! My sister and mom all went (with my sister's kids too) to the store as my sister was looking for some new romantasy reads and was asking my opinions about some, mainly if I read it or what I knew about it. I feel like I saw this one a little bit on Instagram, possibly, or somewhere! It's got vampires and it sounded intriguing, so yeah there you go! My mom actually bought it for me as she bought everyone a book yesterday!
