A Bad Day

I recieved a phone call from my brother telling me that he needed me to come get him from the highway because his car was broken down. This was going to be quite challenging for me because of the scorching heat and not to mention the twelve hour shift at my job. Immediately putting on clothes, I rushed out of the door and made my way to my brother's location. Upon arriving, there was smoke coming from the engine and I asked, "did you burn your engine out" and he replied, 'I think so". We didn't have any tools or equipment so he called a wrecker company so they could pick the car up. My brother and I waited for the wrecker to come for about an hour. Feeling sleepy, dirty and hungry, this was not a good sign for a person enjoying the rest of the day off. The wrecker finally came and we drove off to get a bite to eat. Anxiously, we pulled up at the nearest resturant and the smell of the food made my stomach cry for help.
As we came through the door, the building was packed with people that were waiting to order. There was another long line for people whose order were wrong. My brother looked at me and said, "Lets go". We left the buliding and we both agreed that we were going to go to another resturant. On our way, we noticed a car that looked similar to my aunts car, I slowed down to see if it was her. I couldn't believe it, "IT WAS HER". At the point, I knew I had to help because my aunt has done so much for me. I got out of the car and asked her what was going on with her car. She said that her battery went dead and needed a boost. I didn't have one so I asked everyone that passed by. After a couple of hours later, a generous man helped us get the car started and indeed the car started. She thanked us and we were on our way. We finally made it to get something to eat and I was exhausted. Finally, we made it to the house and I took a long shower and fell asleep. I was awaken by the thunder and lighting and couldn't go back to sleep. If this wasn't a bad day, I don't know what know what kind of day that was.
