One of those weeks

Have you ever had one of those weeks where nothing really goes right? That's me this week so far and I still have to get through Friday. Started off decent enough and then came Tuesday when I discovered the blower motor in the furnace wasn't working. I was trying to get the AC on since it was in the 90's and getting rather warm in the house and no AC. So Carrie called a number we had from a previous visit and the guy came out Wednesday and fixed it, $400 later that is. He replaced the the blower motor and what he called a ECU and now we're cooking with Crisco (maybe even a bit too cold now). Then I happen to notice one of the trees we planted last year in the backyard has blown over to one side from some very serious wind we had the last two days. So I go to look at it and I notice that I have 'ringed' the tree, not good for a tree. When you 'ring' a tree it pretty much kills it because you've cut a ring around the trunk of the tree. When I staked the tree after putting it in the ground I forgot to put some tubing around the trunk so the string wouldn't cut a ring into the tree. We tried to stand it back up and it ended up snapping off right at the 'ring', killing the tree. DOH!!!, my bad.

Now we're up to today, uneventful until my friend Mike calls me to see if I can help him get one of his cars home from his uncles house. His car is a 2003 Cobra Mustang that is just a ton of fun to drive and it was all good until we get it to his house. I knew I shouldn't have tried to pull it in the garage for him but I did anyways and ended up scratching the passenger mirror on the garage door. Boy do I feel like a dumb ass now and he try's his best to make me not feel so stupid about but I do anyways. So yeah, this week pretty much sucked and I'm glad it's about over.
