Getting ready for a vacation is stressful

Ugh. What a day.
I hope you realize the sacrifice I’m making for you guys. Every time I take a vacation, Edmonton has beautiful weather while I’m gone. Tonight I leave for Jamaica, so I hope you enjoy the sun.
For me, it hasn’t been going that well. My car died on me. Luckily it was in the Canadian Tire parking lot. I go there only once or twice a year, so that is pressing the odds. From the sounds, it was my battery, but it could have been the alternator. I was hoping the service centre would be more helpful, but they wanted $75 to check out my car. Instead, I talked to the battery department and borrowed some tools from them. Not very good tools, but after a great deal of struggle I was able to remove the battery from my car. I brought it to the battery department and they confirmed it was dead/dying. I got a new one and got it back into my car. It started without problem after that.
But now I’m running late on trying to get ready.
The Edmonton SkyShuttle service is sounding more and more hostile to me. If I didn’t know better I would think they were trying to prevent people from using the service. From a hotel on Whyte Avenue, they say it will take an hour and a half to get to the airport. At eleven at night? Also, be there fifteen minutes early. Previous times I’ve taken this shuttle, it has taken forty minutes, tops.
I’m going with the assumption they are trying to cover themselves legally. Because there is no way I want to sit around and wait for no good reason.
Further updates as they warrant.
