Car's out-of-comission; had an interview to catch at 5 PM. Hitched a ride with a buddy, Rico.

Interview lasted longer than expected and Rico's uncle got a surprise trip to the ER (he's fine). I got stranded at the interview site for quite a while until B., who's practically my adopted aunt, picked me up and took me to her place where Rico was waiting for me.

As it turned out, he had to get his uncle's car to the hospital where Rico's Uncle and Mrs. Rico's Uncle are staying the night. So I got to drive Ellie (Rico's old Grand Am...gods that girl can purr) while R drove aforementioned uncle's old (sadly nameless) Ford Escort station wagon complete with stick shift and slipping clutch to the hospital for Mrs. Rico's Uncle's use in the AM hours.

Ahh, dear old Murphy. About a third of the way to the hospital a flat was discovered on the Ford, which of course failed to be fixed by Fix-a-Flat. Roadside Assistance was a half-hour late, meaning a full hour and a half wait at a Kwik-E-Mart.

And as soon as the fixitup guy did show we realized that we still had a working car that we could have employed to venture to Wally World for the wrench we needed.

Replaced the flat with the spare, then realized that the spare itself was airless. Fortunately the station we were drydocked at had an air pump. Unfortunately the air pump was out of order. Fortunately there was a gas station nearby with an air pump. Unfortunately theirs was out of order too. So another fifteen minute or so wait until Fixitup Guy found one that worked, filled his air tank he hauls around, and returned to our campsite to bepressurizinate the spare.

One fifteen minute journey later we finally arrived at the h00psital where we tried to enter the wrong door, drove around to the right door, looked for Uncle Rico's room, got lost looking for Uncle Rico's room, found Uncle Rico's room, said hi to Rico's Uncle and Mrs. Rico's Uncle and delivered glad tidings of a fast food dinner, left Uncle Rico's room, searched for the exit, got lost looking for the exit, made fun of each other mercilessly for losing the exit, found the exit, decided we needed to use the restroom, exited the exit, hopped in Ellie, drove off, realized Rico's cellular telephone was still in the Escort, drove back, retrieved the cellular telephone, hopped back into Ellie, drove off, and returned home six hours later than intended.

I had FUN today! (Zero sarcasm intended. It was great.)
