The Terrible, Awful, No Good, Very Bad DAYS

Yesterday started out very well. I was cruising around town in my truck (yes, I said cruising) and getting ready for my crepe birthday party.  I got pink and green balloons and streamers and special candles for the ice cream cake.  I was driving out of the Crystal Mall parking lot when all of the sudden the engine in the truck died.  Whatever.  It happens sometimes when it is really hot outside.  So I give the truck a minute, and then I crank it up and go, no problems.  I was on my way to deliver pretzels to grammie for her birthday.  On the way over to Grammie and Pop's, Johnny ate ALL of the pretzels that I had bought for him to split with me since I didn't have time to eat lunch yet.  When we get there, Grammie tells me the results from her doctors appointment:  her cancer has spread to her ribs, spine, and stomach.  She also tells me that my cousin Whitney is in the hospital in premature labor.  When we left Grammie and Pop's the truck stalled again at the stop sign at the end of the street.  I crank it up and we are off again.  We are at the stop sign by a big intersection and all of the sudden the truck stall again.  I try to crank it up for 5 minutes and nothing will happen.  I finally get on the phone with Pop and ask him to come help.  We still can't get it to start so we had to push it off the road.  Thankfully some people stopped to help us. I used my mom's AAA to call a tow truck.  I couldn't get in touch with Jon this whole time to ask him what to do because he doesn't have cell reception where he works.  So the tow truck is on the way, and I get a call from Jon.  We had a communication issue and I started crying in the street because I thought he was upset at me.  After waiting for the tow truck for 20 minutes, I get the truck started and park it at my house, because that is what Jon wanted me to do.  As I am walking into my house, i gnat flew into my eye, and I ran into the house clutching around my eye in pain as the gnat dies trying to get out of my eye (I had to get it out once it was dead).  I finally take a shower, and wait for mom to pick me up for my party.  I get a call from my mom.  She isn't coming to get me.  Pop is.  When I ask her why, she tells me that Josh's girlfriend broke up with him and he was so upset/distraught that she doesn't feel safe leaving him alone.  I felt bad having to have pop pick me up after he already spent so much time helping me and I could tell that all his exertions from helping to push the truck have really given him a hard time with his breathing (He has emphysema) I walk to Grammie and Pop's.  By this time, I am emotionally exhausted and noone is really in a party mood.  We finally get to Mom's where I put up a couple of decorations.  Plus I find out that my dad had to work and won't even be able to be there for the party.  When Jon got there he and I had to have a big discussion about what had happened earlier and ended up talking for about half of the party.  By this time I am absolutely starving as I haven't had a chance to eat all day.  The crepes were really good as was the carvel ice cream cake. I was completely overwhelmed by everything that had happened.  I didn't sleep well at all last night, probably due to stress.   When I got to work today, Betsy asked me how my party was and I just broke down crying right at the cash register.  She let me go home early and I finally was able to just take a break.  Jon and I went out for Chinease and are just taking it easy.  I hope that tomorrow will be a better day.  It's my Birthday!
