stormdogAfter spending $500 on my car last week, it's now misfiring and probably undrivable. And Lisa was borrowing it on Wednesday to get she and another person to Windycon. And I have so many school things to deal with already, and I have no lunch stuff to take to school, and was already feeling super stressed before the new car stuff.
I called Super-mechanic Juan just to ask whether he'd looked at the state of plugs and wires when I bought the car and see if he thought I should start with replacing them. He offered to come over tonight to look himself, and even to lend me his truck. It was such a relief that I started crying on the phone and am really embarrassed.
And now I'm going to work on getting ready for the test review session I'm running tomorrow.
I should also note that my parents took my brothers and I out for dinner tonight as a celebration of various good things that have been going on for us. James passing the bar exam, Timothy starting school and it going really well so far, me having had a great 2-plus years and presenting a paper at the primary national conference in my discipline this month. My parents are wonderful and thoughtful and I love them greatly. I wish I hadn't been so preoccupied with other worries through much of the meal.
