Gremlins

I have come to almost believe that I have little gremlins following me around wreaking havoc however they can any chance they get. Thanks to them, my life is never monotonous. Just this weekend they showed their presence. Saturday I went to Wal Mart to pick up some things for a pizza some friends and I were making. I pulled in the parking spot, put the car in park, and turned the car off…or so I thought. I grabbed my purse, opened the door and heard a humming noise. After listening to the other cars around me, I realized the humming was coming from me. I put my hand on the steering wheel and felt it vibrating. I panicked thinking I did something wrong. So I put the key back in and tried to turn the car on but because it was already on it wouldn’t do anything. I proceeded to turn the car off again, but still it would not work. I drove home, called the mechanic who so graciously met me at the shop. Needless to say, some wiring that is supposed to be in the car isn’t to communicate from the key to the engine wasn’t working. He did a temporary fix (since part stores weren’t open), showed me what fuse to pull in case it acted up again, and handed me a wrench to use to unhook the battery.
Last night, I got home late and was in the bathroom getting ready for bed. I went to turn the water off but (can you guess?) the hot water wouldn’t shut off. It kept running and running no matter what way I turned the faucet and no matter how hard I turned it, the water kept pouring out. I, again, slightly panicked and called a friend who told me to shut off the valve. Thankfully it worked.

I’m slightly curious as to what might happen next!
