I don’t know if “You Can’t Always Get What You Want” is truly the Rolling Stones greatest song, but it is definitely on up there. How on earth they are still performing at this stage is the subject for another post. Today was a great example of the concept though. I dashed out this morning to run an errand that is associated with doing three good deeds. I say, “Well, let me pop in and gas up the car first – it won’t take but a few minutes and then I don’t have to do that tomorrow.” When I go to pull away from the pump though the car won’t start.

Okay, first wave of frustration is, “I cannot believe this!”, accompanied by language that I won’t put in the post. After I call hubby, I realize that a) by me going so early, he wasn’t out of the house on his run because he doesn’t carry his cell phone for that; b) rather than being parked nose-in at the store, the front of the car was easily accessible to use the jumper cables, assuming that the battery was the issue. Better yet, I was closer to the house than I would have been on any of the tasks that I had scheduled for tomorrow. Jumping the battery did the trick and we swapped vehicles for hubby to drive mine back to the house and we can do the same tomorrow for him to deal with this while I run errands. Not that I ever enjoy having a battery go out, but the simple truth is that they do and the way in which it happened today wasn’t nearly as inconvenient as it could have been.
