Long day, rough day

Rough start for my birthday weekend. At least my getaway plans are for next weekend. 
The gal that was sick yesterday was sick again today, but she didn't bother to let me know until 9:30. So that meant we had to spend longer on the first job than I had planned. The other 3 jobs were smaller jobs, mostly weeding. Since we had a full truckload of debris I decided to leave the wheelbarrows at the first job and go back later to get them. Except later now means sometime over the weekend.
We finished the last job, I went to start the truck, and all I got was a faint click. I called CAA, they came over and agreed that it was the starter that failed. But they would not tow the truck anywhere while the debris was still on it. There is some woods just down the street from where we were, so I asked my customer if she knew if any of her neighbors had wheelbarrows so we could get everything off the truck. Two of them had wheelbarrows so we were able to unload the truck. I came back to Dartmouth in the tow truck, then took an Uber over to Marilyn's so I could borrow her car for the weekend.
Tomorrow I have to call UHaul to see when I could get a truck. Hopefully they will have a truck or van that I can use till my truck is repaired.
I have to go back out to the garage early tomorrow morning to leave a note with the truck telling them what is wrong with it and to leave my contact number. All I did tonight was drop the keys in the slot.
I stopped and picked up a burger on my way home. I was tired and hungry. I need to go and open a bottle of wine now, and hope that it has not turned to vinegar.
