A Week of Letdowns

It has been a landmark week at Casa del Curry. Things have been going wrong left and right. Our alternator on the car (who is named Lucy, by the way. She's a persnickety Redhead, what do you expect!?) was replaced, with much effort on the parts of myself, David, and our dear friend Molly.

She alternates fine, but there's an electrical short somewhere that makes the car impossible to drive at night. Any time we hit a bump (and this is southeastern Ohio, there are bumps everywhere, and our street is mostly brick!), the dash lights flick, the headlights go nuts, and our tachometer and heat gauges jump all over. So what's a girl to do except bring it to a service station? We have to take her in on Thursday.

David and I have been fighting due to the stress from the car. That hasn't been so pleasant. David has been trying to finish his website for the client he currently has, and in the midst of it all - his computer died. Died. It's fixed, now, obviously, or I would not be typing this. I'm still waiting on the power cord for the laptop to come in, and it could take up until the 22nd of this month. Sigh.

I have not been as productive as I wish I would. The lack of computer and lack of proper cooling to the apartment make things tough to do during the day. Our living room flourescent lights dont' seem to want to operate properly, so we're using our deceased iguana's heat lamp when necessary to find things. Have I mentioned I really, REALLY hate this apartment?

I've been trying to get my job done - ghostwriting, mostly. It's tough, because I have no good writing works to my name that are published. I'm trying to make a name for myself via my Associated Content site, which can now be found in the sidebar of the blog, and my Ehow site, but that's all slow going.

I've been making a marked attempt to be more active and get more done, it's just so hard when it's too hot and too dark and too everything. This week has just not been a good week, and perhaps next week will be better. More later, I suppose.
