so it goes.

it is very cold today.

my car broke down on south grand after i ducked into the falafel shop for a quick snack on my way home from work.  triple a arrived after an hour of me waiting in my car, in the cold.  the very nice triple a mechanic jump started my car and told me to let it run for 45 minutes to recharge the battery.

i followed his instructions to a t.

i stopped my car after letting it idle in the parking lot of my apartment building for 45 minutes.

and i attempted to restart it.

nothing.

looks like i need a new battery.  and it couldn't possibly feel colder outside to me right now.  i thought i was recovering from some kind of shitty cold but now it's drained into my chest and my throat is scratchy, and i can't stop coughing.  WHY WHY WHY does this have to be happening right now.  i just want to go to bed.

i'm totally taking a fucking cab into work tomorrow.  fuck.
