Are you overdoing things? Not only do you harm yourself when you overdo things, but you may be imposing on others as well. (2022.29)
Today is Wednesday .. however I woke up thinking it was a different day of the week, and began to plan accordingly. It was a surprise to find out.. No. today was Wednesday. This is what happens when you take my car away. My daily routine yesterday flew out the window when my car refused to open up for me. Then when finally I did get in, it wouldn’t start.
Ok not the end of the world, but I did have to come in and cancel all my appointments for the day. Neighbours had to wonder why I was sitting at the end of my laneway for hours on end.* Had to wait for dealer who was sending someone to find out what was going on with my car. (Note. I live a short distance from the dealership.. that said they are absolutely wonderful in every way when it comes to service ALL the time.) (*maybe slight exaggeration)
I had to also cancel and rearrange all my “meetings” for today too. Today will be spent trying to find a way to store items that I will no longer carry/store in the car. Remember the cute picture of the squirrel in my trunk when I was in the woods.. (where I go 365 days of the year).. well … my car problem was, critters ate my wires that part of the system that “ran” my automobile.
So,….yes… someone has to rework, rearrange her way of doing things.
Time to regroup as the saying goes.
On the positive, my car is going to be thoroughly cleaned and detailed… and I will have a cleaner garage (yes I use mine, my car is in the garage all seasons…=^_^=) AND my body will get a breather from the mosquitos and pollen .. I don’t know how or when the got at me, but UGH they did.. I have reverted back to my longer outdoor vest.. even with long sleeves and my hat with netting, the other day wearing a shorter summer vest, they got under clothing and bit bit bit.
Too many words today.. I had thought of doing Wordless Wednesday… right! That went by the by.
How is your week going?

Ooh, sorry about that… rodents and cars don’t mix well. 😦 (We store our birdseed in metal trash cans with firm fitting lids. One must be constantly vigilant even with that measure. They can cause a lot of damage to house wiring as well as cars.) They can trigger air bags to go off unexpectedly, as happened to my mechanic, who was reaching into the wiring where a nest was. He got really hurt.
So beware and take care!
wow thank you yes the dealer is clearing the car of any traces and is doing a full detailing. I’ll get the car back, dealership clean .. a lesson learned.!!!
The critters that are so destructive drive me nuts! You are so matter of fact about it.
My week hasn’t been so stellar. I’m sure my attitude is much to blame. Maybe I can regroup over the next couple days.
Hi Eilene.. LOL what could I do, the damage was done, I have been feeding and going into the woods now for years.. since my husband passed away, my morning meditations and visits to the tranquility of nature has been my Happy place.. the critters found food and they took advantage.. I’ve paid the price of my neglect.. I’ve learned a lesson. I was so relieved to get the car back yesterday…once it was back safe in the garage.. my body said.. now you can let me relax (tension I guess that I’d been holding in) I had to take two gravol and go to bed.. ahhhh big sigh, and slept. How you doing today?
Glad the car is now safe and sound and you got a little nap and stress relief. I’m okay today. Winding down from being a livid, angry wreck. I just don’t have that serenity thing down at all.
Hi Dymoon,
Thank you for sharing your experience. It’s a great reminder to take things easy and stay adaptable. Wishing you smooth car repairs and a refreshing break from those pesky critters!
Best, Mike
thanks! I’m having to relearn and rethink how I will go about distributing the food …no regrets.. I love sharing time with them.. Hope you are enjoying good summer weather,,
