I Think April Hates Me

No, I am not talking about a person, I am talking about the month. It seems every year April comes around, the Sucks to be You Gods come upon me.

April 2nd- My husband and I get into a car accident with a deer on the way home from the in-laws on Friday. We're fine, I just had a little whiplash, but the whole driver's side is dented and has a nice fur coat (apparently we skinned the deer). The deer came out of nowhere, my hubby started to brake so it would run past in front of us, but at the last second, Bambi freaked out, turned and BAM! right into the side of our car. We were out in the middle of nowhere, with no cell phones, so we had to (carefully) drive back to his parent's house, the car scraping on the pavement, where thankfully his father-in-law fixed where it was scraping and the car is drive able until Monday when we get the good ol' insurance involved. Thankfully, as my father in law said, we wouldn't have to pay a deductible because it would fall under "An Act of God" or what have you.

April 3rd- Turns out we do have to pay a deductible, which I mean, yes it better than having to fork out the entire amount, but that means money that I was going to be saving to go back home to Canada to see my family this July is going to be going to the car. Unless the temp agency finds me a job like, now, I can say goodbye to going home this summer, which would be a major disappointment.

April 4th- I go to Easter dinner where the food doesn't agree with me. I can't sleep because of an upset stomach.

April 5th- The agency finds me a five day project at the one place I had hoped I wouldn't have to go back to (beggars can't be choosers, I suppose). They were crazy busy at this time last year, but things are much slower this year due to the recession. I start Friday and after those five days are done, they'll call me when they need me, but don't know when that will be, which gives me two months to make up for money I need to go home.

Still to come this week:

My query gets critiqued.
I await more responses from agents.
I start the job.

Is it May yet?
