Not the weekend I had planned

I had planned on being a homebody during Labor Day Weekend. I was going to get in some relaxation time between chores. However, my dad called while I was having breakfast (around noon, see my previous post) on Saturday. He told me that he was in a nearby state and asked if we could get together. Meanwhile, Steve had been asking me all week to visit his family with him. I made plans to do both and we arrived at Steve's mom's late that day. On Sunday morning, as Steve and I were headed to meet some friends before I headed to meet my dad, my car died. AAA rescued us and later towed my car back across the state to my mechanic's garage. AAA Plus is a great thing! Anyway, Steve and I spent another night with his family and they drove us back home late Monday. Yesterday my mechanic discovered that a valve connecting the transmission to the radiator had failed and let all of my transmission fluid gush out. He fixed it today and I get to sleep in my own bed tonight, which is good because I'm exhausted.

By the way, it's hard typing a blog post while watching tennis, but that's exactly what I'm doing. Earlier I watched Melanie Oudin go down to Caroline Wozniaki (sorry, I know I spelled that incorrectly) and now I'm watching Roger Federer (hopefully) defeat Robin Soderling in three sets. Some parts of this match have been exciting but it's been pretty quick.
