It's Funny How Things Work Out...

Last night we bought a new microwave to replace the broken one. I waited to get a new phone because I wanted to do more research at home, and ended up ordering one online to pick up in store today. I meant to go get it right when the store opened, but I got sidetracked with laundry. On the way I remembered that I wanted to get the money order for rent and get that deposited to the landlord's account. I didn't want to leave the new phone in my car so I made that my first stop. I got my money order and went to buy something I had an Ibotta offer for. They had one product but not the other, so I left empty handed... just in time to spot my mother-in-law starting her lunch break in her car. We spent the whole hour she had catching up, and after she went back to work I would have headed off to the bank to make that deposit... if my car hadn't struggled to turn over. (That was the point when I started questioning my life choices, because my battery tested bad at my last oil change and yes I have the jumper unit in my trunk but why am I driving around waiting for that ticking time bomb to die when I have the cash on hand to replace it now? ) Anyway, one side trip to Costco later I had a shiny new car battery... and then I had to sit for about ten minutes after installing it so my car could relearn its idle settings. And then I finally went and picked up my phone! ...at exactly the right moment for my former boss to walk up and go "Hey, I have a position open and you should totally apply for it." So I guess breaking my phone landed me a job... demand? that I probably wouldn't have had otherwise. (I'm rolling with it, because why not? lol)
