Sometimes Tuesdays don't go my way.

I planned on writing this on Tuesday but I was a little occupied.

I had my schedule road test on Tuesday morning at 9. But- a few days before, my exhaust on the car fell down (and dragged along the road until we tied it up with towing rope), and we couldn't get it in to fix it before my test. So I called mom to see if her car was in good enough shape to drive for my test (ie signal lights working, nothing falling off, etc.) She said yes, and we were all systems go again. So, I arrive to take her car Tuesday morning, 10 minutes before the test, and she doesn't know where her up-to-date insurance card is, although she is sure she had it somewhere.

Ok, no problem, I will drive my car with the exhaust falling off, and explain the situation to the tester, and make a new appointment if necessary. So, she overlooks our faxed insurance- because we couldn't get the actual card in time from the company, and then goes to look at the car. She laughs but says, "you do what you have to do", and tells me to get in the car to start the test.

Arms signals- check. Signal lights- check. Brake lights- .... Brake lights? Yep- one of them is not working.

So- no test. Now I have to make a new appointment. but, at least she let me keep the original receipt so I don't have to pay again :)

To top it all off- I spent the rest of the day being the most sick I have been so far- couldn't get off the couch the rest of the day except to run to the washroom....

Oh the joys...
