Jen and the Black Cat

I am so NOT superstitious! 
Monday on my way to visit some girlfriends a black cat ran across the road in front of me and stopped to look at me and seem to chuckle.  Well I chuckled right back because I am not superstitious!
So onward I went to my friends house and had a lovely evening once she came and unlocked the gate for me.  We stopped and toasted our friendships on the way back to the house, it is quite a drive.
The evening was so lovely we sat outside and caught up with Pam, who is in from California and just had a very good visit.
I got in my car to leave and when I cranked it my "SERVICE NOW" light came on, well I am thinking maybe all the dust, dirt, bumps and such had disturbed it a bit.  Left Blu's house and on to Tyler I headed.  Well I was driving 67-69 in a 65 and there is a truck on my tail so I scoot over and let it and another car that was on their tail by, all of a sudden red and blues are on my tail when I pull back on highway-DANG IT!!
So I signal and pull over again-he PASSES me up for the other two!!  Yeah ME!!
Go by store to see John as he is working late and pass several more law enforcement, most with people already pulled over-again, yeah me!  Crank my car again and still getting the "SERVICE NOW" alert, it goes off in a few seconds but comes on each time I crank it.
I had tried to call John to let him know I was headed his way and my phone for the 2nd time since Friday locked up and wouldn't do anything but say "phone memory full".  UHG!!  So I delete stuff and get it working again.  HAVE i MENTION i AM LEAVING FOR THE BEACH THURSDAY MORNING?
Ok so now I have a dysfunctional vehicle and phone and I have to work until I need to leave.  GRRRRR
I call Crown this morning to schedule and check-up on the Vertible and ask about a loaner car-no ma'am we don't have one and Courtesy Transportation won't take me to J'ville.  SO now I have to take my car in and figure out how to get to work on time as Wednesaday is my last day before Beach.  So I whine to my car salesman and he calls the shop and has me put on Priority and it should not take long, but if it does he has offered personally to take me to work.  Good Answer!
So I am figuring out how to be at 2 places at one time, Verizon and Work.  Had two offers to take my phone for me. I finally broke down and called into Tech support which I hate to do.  The final recommendation is for me to do a Re-Boot and go back to factory on my phone, of course that is not exactly what I wanted to hear, but I need a phone that works and I need it like yesterday, so re-boot I do!  Thank goodness the lady reminded me to take the card out BEFORE I rebooted or I would have lost my photos.  (which is the only thing saved on my 8gb card) So I went back to almost scratch on my phone.  My contacts are saved in my google account so they are in tact.
So now all we have to do is wait and see what's wrong with the Vertible!
SO TAKE THAT BLACK CAT-JEN COOK AIN'T HAVIN' NONE OF THAT!!
