dead car

well, i need to get this outta my system as being nice to everyone at work is just pissing me off! i flooded my car last night. literally, in the river that flooded our street. Here is my logic behind doing it. It has been raining since sunday night here, and last night was the worst as we're getting weather from cyclone emma. We went out to the shire last night to farewell tom - he's done a fab job for the town. Anyhow, travelling down my street there was a river from the rain, I got through fine. Then on the way home, I didn't judge the extra rain and bigger size of the river coming back home. I was in the car by myself and half way through the 'river' my car just went dead. It was pretty scary being my myself, cause the water just kept rising and each time a car went past the car was moving. I felt like I was gonna be washed away - but really it wasn't that bad. Anyhow Dave & Robbo came to rescue. They had to push me out in knee high water. Then my car wouldn't start so they had to push it up on the curb. Then Robbo's work partner dropped me off home. The weather kept me up all night as I was worried about how Claire was gonna get home as it was getting so bad - the wind and banging of bins/gates. So Dave picked me up this morning and we went to start my car. We tried jump starting it with my battery and then with his. No go. So I must have stuffed up the electrics some where in there. So I'm at the point now I'm hoping if I leave it a lot longer it'll dry out. But if not, well have to speak to Norm the local mechanic. And there's no point in feeling sorry for myself even though people keep saying a lot of people do it. Fingers crossed. So I'm pissed off and upset at myself at the moment for being so stupid and I wanna scream.
