And the long streak continues.

So I went to the chiropractor today to fix my broken neck. I don't remember what the doctor said was wrong with it. Something about how when a person's neck gets knocked out of line, the connected muscles go into spasms and don't quit. Anywho. He it usually takes anywhere from ten days to about two weeks to heal, but hopefully we can help it go quicker. So I'm going back Monday to get another adjustment. Anyway, he said no heavy lifting and I'm not supposed to drive anything without power-steering ('cause I told him what happened with my truck Tuesday).

So this time when I was going to work, I borrowed Angie's van. It has power-steering, and it tired me out a bit, but nowhere near where it did last time. Anyway. I got to work, and my boss said I can't use it to transport clients because my name isn't on the insurance policy, so I'm told I have to use my pickup. Fine. Whatever. I decided I'd just keep some ice-packs on hand.

So I got home, rested for an hour, and when it was time to go back and pick up my client, I headed off in my neck-murderer pickup, got almost to the highway... and died. The water pump in the pickup blew up. So... pretty much I had to call and say I couldn't make it and Joe and Jason came and picked me up. And pretty much that truck isn't moving until it gets a new water pump in it.

Anyway. Mom said she'll buy my a new water pump for my birthday, and in the meantime I'm borrowing her truck since she still has the Jeep. Also, if the poor little truck doesn't revive, I'm going to use mom's truck. I'm gonna go spend the day with mom tomorrow. I need some kind of a vacation before I curl up and die. Angie, Meghan, Haylee and I are camping out on the tramp tomorrow. We've decreed no jumping.

Oh, and one other bit of bad luck. Tovie was hit by a car this morning. He's okay, though. It mashed and gashed up his front leg pretty good, but the rest of him is okay. He's limping right good, though. It's just rotten that my streak of bad luck would even target my dog.

Am I at the bottom yet?
