The Fates Are Against Me
My parents have been trying to visit for over a month now, only to be thwarted every time.  Work issues, snow, inconvenient illnesses, and now their Jeep's radiator blew up.  -_-  Damn it.  I look forward to seeing them all week only to have Friday bring some disaster that prevents them from visiting.  And, of course, because I think I have plans for the weekend, I don't make any with friends.  It's not that a weekend at home with books, the internet, and my cat is terrible, mind, but it's getting old.  What gods do I need to appease?  Do I have to make an offering to the travel fairies?  What?

And, no, I can't go visit them.  My car needs work before it can make it over the mountains to the other side of the state.  Actually, it needs work, period.  *sigh*

Well, now I feel really whiny.

Thanks. Never live in a place that puts a mountain range between yourself and people you want to see on a regular basis. (Well, maybe if they're really low mountains that never get snow.)

"Look in the background. That's my favorite mountain in Illinois." ^_~
You've got my sympathies. Constantly having your plans mucked with sucks.

It'd probably drive me less nuts if it weren't for the fact that plenty of relatives I don't want to see live in town. It adds an extra layer of "the fates are mocking me!" to the situation.
