Last Tuesday was one hellofaday…

I’m exhausted. Tuesday was the toughest day last week, though it got better as the week went on. As for Tuesday, I woke up not being able to move. The weekend before I stayed with my cousin in Baltimore and slept on his couch. It was sore for a couple days after, but I must have did something to it Monday night and woke up not able to even get out of bed. Also, we had been having trouble with our boiler and we had no heat. It was 59 degrees in my house and I couldn’t move.

When I finally threw myself out of bed, I was sore but able to sort of walk around. I went downstairs to deal with the boiler and get some heat back. There was an issue with the sight glass and I ended up overfilling the boiler… water started pouring out of all my radiators. So my wife and I were mopping that up. All while my back was killing me. The guy we hired couldn’t fix the issue so I started looking for someone else to fix it (few days later it was fixed, but it wasn’t cheap at all…).

Then since things happen in the threes… right at the end of the day while I was relaxing watching Modern Family, my wife came down to tell me I really really REALLY fucked up with scheduling our vacation. Let me explain…

A few months ago I scheduled a Disney cruise. I’ve been so busy that I just booked it. I mean, it was a cruise out of New York going to the Caribbean. I live in North Jersey so thought this couldn’t be easier. I was so crazy busy with work that I didn’t really read much into it thinking I’d just handle things right before we left. We already had the essential passports and whatnot. Well, turns out I accidentally booked a one-way cruise… 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭… and I needed to book a flight back from San Juan! My wife discovered this while looking through the itinerary that we get off at San Juan and we never get back on the boat. I guess the whole one-way thing was posted somewhere, but really, I didn’t see anything about this being one-way when I booked it. Then again, I never booked a cruise before… and I’m not known for reading directions… so there was probably a lot of assumption on my part… We ended up canceling the cruise because flights back from San Juan were just too damn expensive. We’re supposedly going to get 75% back from Disney to use for another cruise.

Also I’m never allowed to book a vacation again.

Anyway, my back still sort of hurts. My boiler and radiator are finally functional. And the cruise is canceled. Tuesday was one hell of a day.
