So...it's been a pretty shitty week.
One week ago today as I was driving home from work (around 12:30) my car broke down on Sorensen Parkway. In fact, broke down isn't quite right, because I couldn't steer! The Power Steering fluid thingy broke because of a loose tension thingy with the serpentine belt and the belt came off and broke the power steering thingy and some other stuff. Oh, and plus, the car had a broken something-or-other that needed to be fixed as well. Can't you tell I'm a whiz-kid with cars?!
Fuck that car.
Once again, I spent over $1,000 on that fricking thing. I HATE Pontiac's...but for totally different reasons than Rebecca Lynn Howard.
Even as much as I bitch, I have to say that I got off easy. That very same day I had inklings to go to Westroads Mall. I guess I'm glad the car broke down after all. May God's Blessing be with those families of the Westroads massacre victims.
It's still hard to imagine what happened at the mall. Because of the shitty weather and other appointments I've had, we didn't make it to the mall this weekend to hang up our snowflakes.
We've had 3 major snowfalls since last Wednesday, plus a Christmas party and this is the last teaching week we have (next week is finals). I want to pay my respects, but, I'm sure I'll make it out there sometime soon.
I guess what's so weird is that I KNOW that mall. I've been there hundreds of times and always felt safe. In fact, that's probably why we liked that mall so much was because of how safe it felt.
Besides, doesn't this type of thing happen in the movies? Or...some place other than Omaha?! Other than home?!
