Ominous Friday

Last Friday Rye dropped the car off for me to use since I was supposed to sleep at my mom's place over the weekend. As I was waiting for him downstairs, an SUV with a flat tire passed by. For some reason, my attention focused on it. It felt like a warning but I was being positive and thinking, "That won't happen to me...that won't happen to me..." It didn't, but let me tell you the whole story.

After we parked the car, Rye went to get a cab. The first one he got into kicked him out because the really masungit driver wanted to go eat. The second cab he got died in the middle of C5. Hassle, right? But it didn't end there...

I got into my car to drive home and was fine as I left the parking floor of the mall. This parking facility has the first parking floor on the 4th level and to get out of the building you have to go down 3 ramps and pass 2 landings. I had just gotten to the 1st landing when...you guessed it...my car died. I walked up the ramp to get a guard to help me, but it just refused to start. My battery was fine, I still had gas, but even pushing the car and jumpstarting it refused to work. I had to leave my car in the delivery parking on the ground floor overnight. Sucks, right?

That was my Friday.
