Upppssssss and Downssssssss

Seriously, I need some dramamine (gravol)

DOWN!  - Desktop bad!!! Not working. Into the shop it goes. Was just there at the beginning of June. He could have driven himself.

UP - there was only one son home this week so less fighting over the computers.

DOWN - laptop smoking hot to the touch. Keys.  Power button. Mousepad. Oh boy!!! More repairs = more money. It gets shut off and left alone for two days. Can I say, I love my IPHONE, so I can keep up to speed???

UP - Puter techie says that the destop harddrive is fine. He wants to see my mouse and keyboard. Seriously??? my keyboard can Eff up my harddrive showing up on my monitor? Didn't know that.

DOWN - Took DS1 to the city to buy new Skates, elbow pads, can etc. It's been a couple years for these and they ALL need replacing. Cost just under $1000. Kinda sorta saved.

UP - I text DH to ask if he is able to contribute to the hockey equip costs. He says yes.

DOWN - so many power outtages here it's ridiculous. At least we don't have the massive damage my sister in the north does.  Trees down everywhere.

UP (ish) - Desktop comes home with a $70 bill. Labour and a new keyboard. It all seems to be working. Fingers crossed!!!

DOWN - DH flips out and reneges on his agreement to pay for some of the costs of the equipment. He did this with the trip for DS too. One has to wonder what kind of freaking power trip game he is playing, if he is doing it consciously. If it is subconscious, that really speaks loads about the quality of his character. I am so angry at him I could spit. He really does not GET the money situation and that it is normal for him to be responsible for some of his own child's costs. He goes all twelve with a big 'Whatever!! F*ck you' as his comeback/final statement. Classy

UP - I went to pick DS 2 up from his camp. He was dirty and wet and smelled and he had a wonderful time. They had been doing maintenance on the camp  and cut down a bunch of trees from the storm.

DOWN - Road construction on the way home. In the no pass zone, a big &ss diesel truck goes whipping past me  and flips gravel up onto my windshield. Two huge stone chips. I did not get the license.

UP - You can get them goo filled  at the glass shop and that is covered by my package policy.

DOWN  -  one of the chips is too deep and big to cover properly with the goo fill so the windshield would have to be replaced.

UP - I have a package policy

DOWN - I have to pay $100 deductible for the darn thing. I never even caused the problem. GRRRRR

And that's just a small portion of my week. Oh boy!!!
