So I woke up early to go take my car in to get fixed... my parents have been trying to liquidate their negative equity, so we're gonna try and sell the white Jeep and they'll fix our Jeep so we'll have two functioning Jeeps.
Well, this morning when we went to take it to the shop, it won't start. So, we push it down the driveway a bit and park the other Jeep in the lawn so we can charge the battery. First issue: finding jumper cables in the beautifully clean back of the Jeep. Issue resolved with minor hazard.
Second issue: there's a cap on the terminal for the white Jeep. Resolved, with extra issue introduced: Use the keys! only to bend the key I have for the Jeep that won't start, which now really won't start since the key is bent at a 25 degree angle...
Third issue: Now the Jeep with a bent key and no battery power is sitting on an inclined driveway... how to get it back up the driveway? Put it in neutral and push it up the hill. Oh, did I forget to mention that the tires are slightly balled, so are now stalled in a position that is doubly hard to get out of given that Mom has to put the car in neutral and release the parking brake while I'm trying to push it uphill... WAIT! I forgot the most crucial part! Still no key, so we search the house, and I can't find it, so Mom has to go find it, then we try to make the car go uphill, but it won't becuase of the balled tires and incline, so we have to wake up seth, and then the car still won't budge, so everyone is getting upset and then it finally starts to move, so now Seth is wide awake from having exerted himself and received the obligatory endorphins rush, Mom and I are in a bad mood because nothing went according to plan, so... yeah... hopefully the REC Team retreat is gonna be a eustressor, not distressor...
