Sunday - fumes and a prayer
The minivan started at 10PM so I set an early morning wake up call, went out and its started again. We loaded it up, got everyone out of the room, and it didn’t start. CRAP CRAP FUCK FUCK BANG on the steering wheel. And it started.
We drove home, only shut the car off twice, both times for gas in major cities. Everything unloaded and I started doing laundry for my next trip.
In 8 hours
My letting them have an extra day because they got out the door late, an extra day because I wanted to just veg out and an extra night because my wife was sick, a breakfast in bed because it was our last day, and an extra day (well 4 hours) in Universal before getting on the road could have cost my an extra $500 to $1,000 dollars plus the car repair bills on top of that.
I hope the family appreciates all the grief and stress this put me under. I was pissed and did not want the oldest to go, this caused a major family fight. I gave in to her mother and took her. At every day and every step of the way she talked back, did stuff to piss off both her mother and me, and start fights with her middle sister. Teenage girl or bitch are good descriptions.
Then when she was supposed to spend Sunday with the mom and her 3 daughters, she ditched us and went with her grandmother. Big mistake little girl. Big mistake.
And I was sick, most likely a bad sinus / air conditioning cold moving from one climate to the other. I wanted to rest and lie down. I got out every day, wanted to do the pool but didn’t for fear of making it worse for next week on the road for business. Getting sick on a family vacation for no good reason and fucking with my job is just stupid.
Okay, family has pizza and soda, my clothes are packed, mostly, and I will be up in a few hours and out the door for week 3 of 5 on the road.
