Around  1 or so...up to pee, and to get Merry (maybe Sunshine) off the couch to come to bed.
She was watching  Hateful Eight, and turned it on the bedroom tv to continue.  She went right to sleep; I continued watching
Then I watched the last half of "The Expendables"
Then  Dice 2:1, then Episodes  5:01
4 a.m.  sorta trying to go back to sleep... but I think I'd finally had enough
7:00 up.... called Caruso Ford 2 minutes after service department opened, to confirm I could have car towed to them without me riding along...and they would know it was coming. Yeah, okay
Then Called AAA 7:15
Arrived 7:40.   Same guy who towed the car to Caruso last time.
8:45  Merry got a call, saying the car had arrived.
Oscar had told me that they had many appointments for the day, so my hopes weren't very highly placed.
breakfast... buttered tortillas coffee.
On the couch, worked on the spreadsheet on my phone and
watched Dexter 3:10-12, then Suits.
Called Thing 2, see if he could cover my shift coming up in the evening...he said he could...I notified Denny that Thing 2 would be covering.
Lunch...ham n cheese on toast.
Watched two eps of House from season 5.
Watched Money Maker.
Merry went out with #2 son, grocery shopping.
I watched Deep Impact...
I called Caruso, check on car; turns out they had called Joni and told her .... well, they'd get the part tomorrow at 10, and it would be done soon thereafter

back to bed until 0800,  when Merry's 'pill alarm' went off, and I helped her with that.
Nap ..until 1000...
We watched "The Hateful 8".
A fridge repairman stopped by unexpectedly... in response to a message I left on Saturday, though I did not get a call that he would be coming...and he could not do anything for my problem, and I had already called, and arranged for an ice maker to be installed the next day...so he left.
1450 Left to go get Stitch at work
Home 16:07

Panic attack came on.   I guess, too much at home... fridge then washing machine ....Stitch's accident... being woken up by Merry to fetch this or move that or.....

In car 19:43.   At work 20:24
ANd ...I sat in the car, in the driveway leading up to the office garage door.
I couldn't go in.  couldn't get my pulse to slow down, or get my breathing under control.
I called Merry  to call Denny who was inside....  asking Her to tell Him to tell Me to go home,  but she didn't phrase it quite right, so he came out to just ...check on me...
We talked a few minutes...
and Finally, I went in, and clocked in a few minutes after midnight.

December 28th, Monday, Diary

65 days, My accident
45 day, Her accident
8 weeks,  in a 'boot'

Continuing a mighty slow night....
Finished "The Hateful 8" around 01:30.
Started watching 'Sports Night' (of which there were 2 seasons, about 23 eps each.
...Watched  1: 1 -- 7.  Could not get '8' to load. Continued with 9 & 10.
Called Merry for wake-up, 0528.
She arrived to pick me up, shortly after 6..
Out of the office, and in car   06:20
06:53 Home.

Fed all the animals.
Merry fixed MDM ...  ham on top of potatoes au gratin and toast and p-chips 
In the bedroom, and watched "Major Crimes" from one week ago.
0830 or slow, sleep.

12:45  up, pee,  snack ( peanut butter pie ...) 

17:00 alarm...
17:30 upright....  prepped, dressed, packed, and ready....
18:05  in  car   
 A stop for a tank of gas (11 gallons)
19:00 at work.

My associates (the one that leaves as I come in, and the one that stays with me for four hours) were chillin'
And I got a chance to see what wasn't done.
Such as the 'grid', the website on which we keep track of who is in which vehicle...was horribly not up to date.   
And I had to sort out the night work  ..
Then figure out Tuesday's night work.  
With 55 rides done for Monday, and 50 going into Tuesday, this was way tougher than it should have been.
The UNeasy-to-get-along-with booker for some rapper started calling in rides to our rez agents... that started with ONE suv from the west valley to LAX, then quickly became two, then became two plus one from BH; and when rez agents left a bit early, this agent called again, and was quite pissed off that she got 'me', i.e. dispatch, instead of a rez agent... but I quickly dealt with booking one little car in Mia.
Meanwhile, another not-so-easy-to-get-along-with booker was calling every twenty minutes, for 'driver info' for her client, inbound to SFO at midnight.  Our affiliate in SFO was not being helpful.
And I had a chauffeur that picked up at LAX, going to OC, and had her planned (tagged) on an ride for an arriving client at SNA.
She cleared at 2200, the follow up was an arrival at 2230..
and she initiated a complaint about how tired she was, sleepy, she can't be working these late hours...   which left my partner and me, working hard on the phones, trying to find an affiliate to cover the ride, until she called back, saying she 'guessed she could manage to do the ride.'
The affiliate in SFO finally gave us driver info for the midnight SFO ride, and that ended the problems for the night.
I went back to watching "Sports Night":  season 1, 11-12-13.
