RIP Timmy the Tiburon

February 26, 2012

Sunday! Jason and I went to St. Paul's church today. I enjoyed it... the priest quoted Charlie Brown... how could you not like that!! After church we went home so I could clean a bit. Jason has been doing so much for us lately that I wanted to give him a break... I cleaned the kitchen and did some laundry and whatnot. Jason was able to relax and play video games. I love listening to him play video games "Take that you bitch!!! WTF MOVE!!!! AHHHH!!!!" Needless to say... he gets pretty intense when battling on a video game :^) After that we met Anna and Travis at Pizza Hut for lunch... sooooo good! We had fun catching up with them as always. We then went grocery shopping and came home. Jason did the cat litter for us... eww! After that we quickly went to my parent's place for my brother-in-law's birthday party... busy day! Jason and I helped with signs, cleaning the table, and making cupcakes. Fun fun! We then ate a huge dinner with amazing food and then watched the Walking Dead. We even skyped Jamie from LA! So cool! Jace and Jordyn must have been amazed... I loved watching them. We ended up watching the Walking Dead while skyping in during the show's breaks. very cool.

Not a good day for me personally. During my lunch break at work... my car dies. I barely made it to my parent's place for lunch. Mom luckily drove me back to work and then picked me up. After work I decided to take a nap at her place... I was exhausted and super stressed. Wasn't smart though because I woke up with a stye in my eye. Gee! One of those days where everything goes wrong... almost everything. I honestly can't explain how thankful I am for Jason. Without him I would have been an even bigger mess! Not only is Jason working on Gomez this week and having to work late... he drove to get parts for my car after work, drove to my parents' place, and then worked on my car until after dark! He's so amazing and wonderful! My dad... also being amazing... helped us with the car and charged it over night. I called my boss to let him know I would need tomorrow off to fix all these issues. Luckily he was understanding and let me. Guess we'll see what we can do tomorrow. For now... Timmy needs a break.

I spent the first part of today relaxing at home... everything was clean and I couldn't drive anywhere. Jason unfortunately had to work on Gomez. My plan was to go get my car while Jason was at work. Dad was charging my battery overnight... I hoped it would be able to drive after that. Alas... once mom and I tested the car, it died within a minute. By that point it was too late to do anything because I had to get home for our home inspection. Mom drove me to the house next door to us and we met with our home inspector. He walked us around and showed us the very few problems there were with the house... we picked a good one it sounds like! Mom had never seen the house so we gave her a tour. She loved it! Soon after the inspection mom left and Jason arrived home. I can't explain how much I admire Jason. I've never met a man who works so hard and is so wonderful! After working such a long day... he got in the car and took me back to my car. He then worked on my car for another 3 or four hours in the cold... and rain!! I felt so bad! He was soaked by the end of it. Neither one of us ate dinner... Jason was too stressed and I started feeling really sick. It was a really bad day. My goal for this blog was to write down one thing I love about Jason each day... one of the easiest goals ever. Even on our very worst day, Jason still proves to be amazing, loving, and unbelievably hardworking. I cannot emphasize enough how much he means to me... that man worked out in the cold, rainy, cement for hours trying to fix my car! I'm so lucky to have him in my life... and I'm so sorry about my car, love.

After realizing it was getting too late and I was feeling really ill... I called into work again because there was no way I was going to be able to counsel people feeling like this. We then went home.

Wednesday. I was off work and felt horrible. I literally did nothing but watched Glee and the office all day. My mom and dad were wonderful and had my car towed because there was no way to fix it. My dad found a really great mechanic that fixed it for around 200 bucks... apparently alternators on Tiburon suck. They put them on the very bottom of cars . . . you actually have to take the axle off to change it! Once Jason got home (again... he had to work late), we literally did nothing. I felt so bad... Jason had worked so hard at his job and also on my car... he hasn't had a break. We just sat on the couch and watched tv. Today I am thankful for Jason's ability to chill out. He works really hard all the time... but he knows when he needs to rest. I am so glad he chose to rest today... we both needed it.

"Can't wait to come home to you." Those were the very kind words of my amazing husband early that morning. I had returned to work finally and he continued to work... he needs a break more than anyone... he deserves it more than anyone! I couldn't wait to get home to him either. We both just wanted the week to be over! After work I got some distressing news from work... apparently the evil Susan at my work is not only trying to get my boss fired but might try to get me fired as well. I found out that she complained to her "mother-in-law" that she and I don't "see eye to eye." A.k.a. I don't like her, I know she's manipulative, I don't play her games, and I know she's trying to get me to do her work for her. . . well, her mother-in-law complained to the second head guy at the company who them called John. Apparently he told John he needed to get a handle on it because he wouldn't want to lose a good employee..." pretty sure they'd fire me to keep Susan. Awesome. I told Jason because I immediately freaked... apparently you can get fired now even when you don't do anything wrong. I don't like her but I've never been rude or inconsiderate or mean... just not friendly (don't say "Hi! How are you? Have a good weekend? blah blah blah.... I might still be upset). Anyway... Jason was amazing and very comforting. He was worried too but we both talked it out. I'm very thankful I have a husband who cares and listens... he really is the kindest man I've ever met! I felt so much better after hugging him. Thanks Jason for not thinking I'm an emotional wreck or that I look like goo.

Friday!! Last day of the work week! Almost over! Jason and I both worked a normal work day; however, we both got a really fun email during work. We received an email from the guy we are buying the house from... crazy! After we did the inspection we asked him to fix all the problems... there were so few problems and he agreed to pay up to $500 repairs that it shouldn't have been a problem. We just needed the trims on the windows replaced if rotted; sealant on the siding; a new outlet downstairs; and remounting a cabinet in the kitchen that was leaning. Not that much... he flipped! Huge email basically telling us he wasn't going to fix the repairs unless we were willing to pay the price he did for the house $151,000. . . hello! Not our fault the market is down and you lost money. Anyway... that was fun. We'll see what happens there.

After work, I got to pick up my car! It was fixed. The mechanic told me to let Jason know there was no way he could have fixed it without the kind of equipment a professional mechanic has. Apparently they had trouble fixing it! I think it helps knowing that we didn't waste money... we had to fix it that way. He seemed to admire Jason though for trying so hard... I think dad told him all he had done. Once I got home I let Jason know what he'd said. Jason is a wonderful man who can fix anything in my mind... I don't doubt that if Jason had the equipment, he would have figured out how to fix it. I love how intelligent and handy Jason is. However... love, I want you to know that I would love you just as much if you weren't able to even fix a chair. I mean that... although it is really handy that you know how to build, repair, and fix things... that wasn't at all what drew me to you. I fell in love with you because of your money ;^) Just kidding! Truth is I first noticed you because of how weird you were :^) I love how weird you are... you're the perfect weird for me. You laugh at all the dumb stuff I laugh at. You scream and yell just for the hell of it. You are unbelievably kind and you stand up for people, especially the ones who don't have a voice or are usually put down... I love that about you! And you are rather handsome, too. Love, please know that if you lost your ability to fix even dinner... I would love you just as much as I do now. You are the most wonderful man I've ever met and I'm so thankful to have the honor of coming home to you each night. Although I don't like the bad part about this week... it reminded me of how wonderful you are.

Saturday!!! Jason very amazingly offered to fix my work's computers/monitors for them today. After the horrible week we had he still was okay taking his Saturday to work on that! Jason even earned some extra money that can pay for my car! I truly hate that he did all that work though and couldn't spend it on something he wanted. I said that to him and his response shows how amazing he is: "We're getting a house!" Another amazing quality of Jason is his generosity. He works so hard to help people and then he lovingly gives away what he earns to someone else... last time he gave me a massage; this time he fixed my car. I know we're married and it all goes to the same account, but it still means the world to me! So many husbands or wives would have said "This is extra... I did the work so it's my money." Truthfully... I would totally want him to spend it on him, but he is so generous and kind he spent it on my car. He knew we'd be stressed for money for the house so he put it to use on a bill. I love how responsible he is... I really do. Him doing things like that relieves so much stress on me... I can't thank him enough for that!
