beeewwwwwwwwwww (imagine the sound of the tractor beams being deactivated by Obi Wan...)

Have noticed that the longer J is away, the higher my alcohol consumption becomes. Hectic day, followed by another evening alone with the kids (J is away until Monday now)...I decided to take the kiddos to White Spot and eat dinner in the car. So fun! Yes, except that the battery in my car died a quarter of the way through our meal. We turned it into an adventure, a very cold adventure...the car broke down!!! Wooohoooo!!

We bought the Subaru in December of 2006. It was our yes-we-have-a-baby-and-a-dog-and-lots-of-gear-but-we-will-NEVER-drive-a-minivan car. To be fair, J didn't want the car...he conceded to buy the Subaru because I loved it, but it has always been a little small for him. For my part, I do love my car. I baby it. It still looks brand new. It's so sporty and fast and comfy...I love driving it, but I rarely do. After seven years the car has only 50,000 km's on the odometer. Truthfully, I prefer to walk, bike or take a bus. So after seven years of rarely being driven further than the grocery store the battery is challenged. I asked the roadside assistance guy if he makes a lot of calls to the White Spot drive-in and he said, "Not as many as you would think, most people get a new battery when the contacts start to corrode." Oh. I'm laying this one on J...definitely a "blue" job.

Coming up to the end of my week off running...still have pain. I sure hope this physio is right. I am banking on being able to run by Tuesday at the very latest, but hoping for Sunday.
