Our no good, horrible, very bad day

It started with having to wake Matt up every 3 hours to have a snack and pain meds. That meant I had to be awake then too. He slept on the sofa, I slept on the love seat. Around 8:30 pm the Internet connection was slow, by 10:30 it was dead. It took two calls to Comcast to get it back up and then it was hit or miss as far as the speed. You can imagine how this went over in this house.

Next, Randy went to do some errands. Can't. Durango has a dead battery. It only has 34,000 miles and is a year and a half old. In the process of charging the battery, the CD player jammed. While this was going on, the smoke detector in the house was going off. Called dealer and both are covered under warranty. Took the durango back down to Boulder. It had been there two days ago for recall work.

Randy and I decide to do errands in the Dakota. At the very last stop, we go through a bank drive thru. The drivers side window makes a grinding noise and stops. We get it home, Randy takes the door apart and we find a plastic wheel/gear type thing that was broken. We get the window up so Randy can tape it in place while I hold it.

I just want everyone to sit still and not move so nothing else can break.

Matt is better. Arguing about taking meds. He is making due with advil, but I will have him take the strong stuff before bed so I can get some sleep at least.
