"Laughter and tears are both responses to frustration and exhaustion. I myself prefer to laugh, since there is less cleaning up to do afterward." -Kurt Vonnegut

This is almost exactly what I told the Honda Roadside Assistance operator today when I explained that my car could not simply be towed because my wheelchair and I were stuck inside. She put me on hold for a bit and came back apologizing for the wait. I laughed and told her that I had eaten, had a drink on hand, and had mail to keep me entertained. She commented "well, you're in good spirits". to which I replied that I could laugh or cry and I choose to laugh.
Another preposterous situation with my SUV. Surely I am not the only person for whom a modified Honda Element borders on the edge of the lemon laws. I am almost used to things going counter to what I hope for. Now, that is a sad state of affairs!!! It would be refreshing for something to be reliable. If the lesson is to have no expectations and simply go with life as it unfolds, then it is difficult to make any commitments. How is that to be dealt with, I wonder?
One step forward and two steps backward, it seems. Losing ground rather than making progress! :( :(
