Lucky me.

No no no no... didn't win any lotteries... or anything..

Today, is the day where I plan to clean up my yard, re-pot all my plants, mow the lawn.. so that I can leave my house in a decent shape before I head out for my Thanksgiving at home.

A lot of soil and a lot of mixing and potting later - I was all good. I was ready for my lawn.

Getting to my lawn mower requires the car to be moved out of the garage. Attempted to start the car.... Nothing. Tried again. Nothing. It go like clump and nothing happened. Oh no!

Chris happens to be playing video game in the house, so I called him. He thought - either the battery died or the alternator. Ok. Not good. My week is going to suck without a car.

So - he got the car into neutral, and had me push the car out of the garage - as he steered. It wasn't so bad really. I was surprised how easily the car moved...

The car jump started, and I drove the car to Advanced autoPart. Yup. Death of a battery, that was barely 3 years old. At least the guy was nice and mentioned the warranty that's 2 years.

I thought... wow was I lucky. If I didn't attempted to mow my lawn, I wouldn't have moved the car, which means I wouldn't have seen the battery problem till Monday morning when I really needed it and Chris won't be around to help.

Lucky me. :)

Dead ants in the house...

No soccer today. Its not quite end of the season yet - the play offs are next week.

This morning when I was taking the little amt of trash I have out - I noticed that I got dead ants - scattered around the corners in my kitchen. Dead. All curl up.



Not sure why they ventured in, or when they ventured into my house.. or even HOW they got into my house... just dead. Probably from the insecticide that I put down a while back .. about a month ago.

I wonder...

Perhaps they were driven into the house due to the extremely high amt of rain last week... and in an attempt to head into the house... crossing that chemical residue , they died . Scattered. Like between a rock and a hard place - no way to survive.

I was glad that at least they seems to die quick... as they didn't venture too far from the corners.. or perhaps those who had escaped - went far away ...
