Zombie brains and trying to think

Well having only four hours sleep is not a great thing.  Granted I have gone to work with 2 hours sleep and that is literally like walking as a zombie.  Mind is slow and not responsive and trying to think about anything is near impossible.  So having four hours sleep I figured I was doing good.

I get a text from my wife, picture showing the car warning light on.  I look at it and register oil, curse to myself and tell her I will pick some up and drive to her work once I am done for the day.  That wouldn’t be till about 4 pm but I figure I should be good.

By 2 pm I am now feeling tired, dead tired.  Been going strong all morning and early afternoon.  I just want to sleep, which is very hard to do at work, and normally frowned upon.  I somehow manager to take an hour and do nothing and let my body regenerate to a level where I am thinking I am functional again.  Leaving a couple of minutes early to get the oil I head off, hoping that the tiredness doesn’t hit me again.

Surprising, the fresh air from the windows keep me very alert and once I get to my wife’s work I hop out of the car and proceed to check the oil.  Five times later of pulling and wiping the dipstick (get your minds out of the gutter) I am now convinced that I was to tired this morning since the oil is fine.  My brain quickly processed what I saw again and I realized it was coolant not oil.  Well this is a fine mess I have now.  I have to figure out what to do, and my brain is running at about 10% power right now.

Needless to say, it was a long night since after trying to get car home, which failed miserably, we proceed to add coolant which didn’t help either.  Had to get a tow to my trust worthy garage.  I explained that my wife is leaving for a business trip at 4 the next day and need this looked at asap.  Well kind of a business trip, more like a wife swap weekend.  Regardless they were happy to help.

Here I am sitting now in my rob, hoping that the bill won’t be to expensive, and that we still need to figure out how to get us both to work today.  I really hope this weekend improves, as it is another “prospect” that I was talking to disabled her account so another one is off my potential list.  Day really hasn’t started off good.

I really need to have some up beat postings, maybe rainbows and puppy dogs might help?
