Oh my GOODNESS!!!!
Yesterday went from bad to worse. What a nightmare of a day! My entire street was in chaos. hahahha!!!
I get back from the bus stop and I have a few hours before I head off to work so I figure, let me get some crud done around my house, get organized and all that. Then the HS calls and cait is sick and I have to go pick her up. My car still won't start so I take Gary's With the Muffler Hanging Down. The main road to the HS is blocked off by police so I have to go a longer way down. And that road is also detoured. Gary's car is just about on empty, I realize that I don't have my cell and every bump i hit makes the car rattle a bit more. What should have taken me 15 minutes to get to the HS took me a half hour. Ugh.
When I get home, I ask Gary to check out my car. Tries to jump it-- no luck. My neighbor walks over-- her husband's car died too, something with the stick. Gary looks again at his car and thinks its not the muffler--but its the gas tank hitting the road! Ahhh!!!!!! Scott's car needs a starter but we have been waiting on getting that fixed until he is ready to get his license. My one neighbor is w/o a car, we are down three. My other neighbor who would drive me anywhere is at a hospice meeting for her mom (I told her that of all of us on the street, she still won the prize for suckiest day) so we are all standing around outside in 9* weather trying to figure out what to do.
Thankfully my neighbor mentioned to the guy who came to tow her DH's car that our cars were all broken down too. He had some professional level jump starter and jumped my car, and I was able to drive Gary around town to buy a new battery. I couldn't turn the car off or it wasn't going to start again.
*fingers crossed tight that it turns over this morning or I am going to :Cry: and :rant:*
But good thought vibes to the car!! You can do it!
After all of that, I went to clean my neighbor's house. He is a the "antique weapons collector" and his upstairs room is literally filled with swords, pikes, sickles, etc- even an Iron Maiden. I left him a note saying that with the bad vibe on my street, I was not going anywhere near that stuff. I was either going to knock everything down, kill myself, or lose a toe! :rofl:
Do you think I am just a teeny bit happy it is Friday?? Yes, ma'ams I am!!!!
Off to work then pick up Scott's GF before the snow starts. Then me and a glass of wine for dinner!
I better get rolling, I want to take no chances and have the car give me issues again.
Have a great one, love you all!!!
