What a day!

I usually have a good life, but oh my goodness, what a day I had yesterday! Let me list all what happened yesterday, I mean within 12 hours.

1. Toyota Carolla (our commuter) lost almost all air from the left front tire, and I was driving when Temesgen noticed! Most likely a leak per mechanic.
2. Jeep Cherokee had a leak from the radiator - estimated cost for repair $600.
3. My cell phone quit showing anything on the screen all of sudden. No accident that I can recall. Based on what I found on the troubleshooting website, this problem is apparently common with this model (Sony Ericsson)
4. My colleague clinician just does not want to commit to work for the first 3 days of Junuary,and still does not want me to ask other clinicians to cover the dates.
4. My boss told me I can not take time off during the semester. Well, she had my time-off request sheet almost for 3 weeks now, and I am leaving for Ethiopia in 3 days! Too bad - they just need to figure it out somehow. I am going.

$600 for the radiator is another ouch for our bank account since we recently spent almost $1000 on our immunizations required for our trip to Ethiopia, which is not covered by the insurance. Plus malaria preventatives. Ouch!
