Doomsday (no affiliation to the Marvel Universe)

 I mentioned briefly in the tidbit I send out each day, that our society has changed to thought of Monday into a negative thing. Comics showing hung-over people dreading going to the office, or just bad things happening - because it is Monday. I'm no exception, and I have no problem with it. Throw that challenge at me! All I am able to do is my best ... whether it is good enough or not.

First thing this morning we took the Youngest's vehicle down to the repair shop we use. A few weeks ago, he had noticed it dropping power while at idle, or low speed like in Reverse. We ran it up to Autozone and had them run their OBD on it. Came back with cylinder 3 misfiring. I told youngest, when he was ready we could take it up to the shop, but I only would go on certain days (not Friday, because you could be without your car all weekend, and Mondays are generally busy as they catch up from the weekend). It is a Monday, true, but a holiday (Columbus Day for those that don't know) so made exception to my rule. We planned it last Friday. Took it in, and just waiting the call that tells me how much I am boosting the economy. At least I am using a Mom & Pop place and not a corporation. I'm guessing $1500, but will see.

After dropping the car off, we headed to Walgreens to pick up a 'script for me. We were about 10 minutes early so sat there in the parking lot. Mayo calls. It was one of the nurses. I had had labs down on the 6th (last week) and one doctor had wanted  retest on the THC count (the long one, not regular drug one). She said it has increased from the previous one. So she was calling is there any chance I had used prior to the 6th. I told her absolutely not. Haven't touched any form of it since February, and have not been around any secondhand smoke that I am aware. She said Ok, and that was it. But now I get to thinking... so the used the same urine sample for the re-test. It had sitting for at least 2-3 days. Could it sort of change, like a fermentation process? All I know is now I am starting to chomp at the bit (need to get in my prayer time) if they use this to defer me longer from getting on the list.

So, see? Even a "bad" Monday can happen to me...though, nothing bad has really happened. The car was planned. I don't have enough info regarding the Mayo incident. 

... and that is it all started Officer.
