Day 20 VLCD - Compounded Stress

My car stopped me from getting to work last week. In the midst of rush hour, it started to sputter and choke then eventually shut off. Thank goodness I'd gotten to the side of the highway in time. I got it up and running again, after a few minutes, and made my way to the dealership. Two hours and nearly $300 later, I was on the road again. I did manage to work those two hours in the dealership's Internet cafe. Ah, technology.

Today, I headed out to my car at 3:00pm to go home, got in, put the key in the ignition and...no dice. Nothing. Zero. Zilch. Ugh! Four hours, a tow truck and an irritated me later, I as at the Firestone hearing about my crappy battery. Are you kidding me? Wasn't I just at the dealership last week? Why didn't anyone say something when I asked, "Did everything else look okay," after they charged me all that money for a cam sensor. Yeesh!

And, TOM is here all full of itself. This would have been an easy day to cave and eat everything under the sun. But you know what? I didn't. You know what else? I didn't and had no injection today. It was all me, baby. I'm pretty proud...even with my .2lb gain (probably bloating from water), I'm still okay.

What did I eat?
