Just keep piling it on, life.

The writing laptop died. The home phone and internet are still out. The "work" laptop only has a keyboard about 4 boots out of 5, the wifi is finicky about what networks it'll talk to, and the rest of the hardware is getting side-eyed more and more often.

And now the car's in the shop.

I was about to drive the housemate to the airport when it decided that starting was for other cars. Luckily her car was available to take instead, so at least she made her flight just fine, but it meant that my little slice of Friday evening, the only part of the weekend I had scheduled to myself, was spent with my head under the hood until I finally gave up and called the tow truck. I'll phone the mechanic in the morning, and find out if it's merely something expensive and inconvenient (inevitable with this car) or truly catastrophic.

Things really do keep breaking faster than I can fix them. The combination of working around all the broken crap until it seems normal and falling behind even when I run flat out is not good for me, methinks.

Double ARGH. Hope the mechanic comes back with good cheap news, like, say, a set of sparkplugs.

I'd almost be happy with any news -- he's down two mechanics right now, and he's always insanely busy anyway. Should have some word tomorrow.
