Kleitsch Krisis

I haven't been in a bad mood this week although there's no reason why I shouldn't be buried in depression.

Our car is broken. The fix it man is holding it randsom for $4k. I almost want to tell him to just keep it. As NWA would say, "throw in the gutter and go buy another." Unfortunately our car isn't a '64 El Camino and we can't do that.

Andy's ipod stopped working. I haven't bothered to investigate. The music we're listening to is circa 1996.

My "pay as you go" because I'm a freak and won't sign a contract phone locked me out and after 4 hours with customer service I still wasn't able to get my $73 worth of pre-paid minutes back. If anyone from Cingular reads this please note: I HATE YOUR COMPANY!!

Karsten is sick and missed school yesterday. Andy stayed home while Britta and I went to the gym. When I came home Karsten was up and running around, obviously not sick. I said, "you don't look sick to me." And since he's been going to a religious school his answer was, "God laid his healing hands on me!" Hmmmm. Another night he crept out of bed at night and when I asked him what he was doing he said, "Jesus wants me to be up." I went to the public school and didn't learn any of these God tricks to get me out of trouble.

The good stuff that keeps me from succumbing to the black cloud following me this week:

My grandma had to go to the hospital to regulate her potasium level. After less than 24 hours she was out. She kept calling until I picked her up! It was good to see her so happy to be out. I bought her a sandwich and watched her eat with vigor. It was a happy moment.

Britta said, "Britta" for the first time. She was so happy. Then we tried for "Karsten" again. She tried to say "KarBabu" again but I said, "no, say 'Karsten'" and she did! I must admit I like her calling Karsten Babu because I think it is cute and I secretly will be sad on the day she stops.

Electronics, please be nice to me. Don't anything else break.
