What a difference a day makes. All set for a 3 day weekend of rest and remembrance of my son. I wanted to just take it easy and maybe even venture the attempt to go in Josh's computer to see things again to bring back just a little memory of him. Well at least that was the plan, but first I needed to go and get my TWIC card renewed. And that is where the whole weekend went down hill for me.
Wasn't expecting any kind of speedy service there, knew there was going to be some kind of delay, I was prepared for the wait by bringing my Ipad , a book and of course my phone to text with if the need arises. Well all was for not cause unbelievably I was out of there within a half hour to 45 mins. This should of made me happy but unfortunately before going in to the place I had a little mishap that pretty much ruined my weekend.
Funny thing happened well parking at the TWIC Center, something as simple as trying not to park on the blue line I had to re-park the car but dummy that I am decided to do it while having door open to see the line instead of using my mirrors and back up camera. So after backing so far I backed into a low hanging tree branch that was leaning far enough over to miss my car but made perfect contact with my rear window. So all of a sudden I hear this loud pop and being that I have ran over parking spikes before thought it was my tire that just got blew out. But no it was my window that just pop after enough pressure was applied and the only that save me from it shattering all over the place was the tint I had on it.
The cost either way would pretty much be about the same. But luckily I found a place online that would come out to my house and install the new window. Since my rear window is one of those with the heating coils in them it ran a little bit more but like I said my tire would of cost about the same. So the guy gets to my house about 12:30 and is done in like 45 min. but the bad news is the long awaited car wash that my Xterra has been crying out for will now have to be put off for another weekend. I has been one thing after another for over a month now and what luck it is suppose to rain the following weekend.
The whole mess pretty much put a damper on the whole weekend for me cause of whole reminder of a broken window all weekend. I ended up staying home instead going to a T-ball game on Sat. I shake it off enough so I can be able to put on a happy face and spend time with my lovely daughter. I guess one good thing that came out of this whole thing is that it took my mind off of my son at least in which I am grateful.
So another anniversary date passed by and thanks to the broken window it went by without shedding a tear about him being gone. So the weekend of sadness never happened and I am okay with that although I would of rather did without the broken window too, but I guess I can't have everything so until next time so long.
