Had a little mishap with the car. It died Sunday right in the middle of town.
Thankfully, my brother came to my rescue. His somewhat educated opinion was that my fuel pump was going out. Luckily, the new O'Reilly auto parts store in town happened to have one and after a few hours of wrestling my quarter-filled gas tank out from under the middle of my car, my brother and my daddy replaced it.
That lasted about two days, when the car died on my way home from work.
I think the problem made me think of a similar situation when me and D/H were tag-team -driving my car after his car mysteriously "died." It turned out to be a failing sensor, that would shut the engine off and dump us in the most inconvenient of places.
Sooooo my next stop will be the local repair shop, for yet another $300 part. Thankfully I have the money for it
That has put a halt to temporary halt to the paint, lumber and siding purchase that I was planning to make.
It could always be worse.
I could be selling clothes on ebay to make ends meet.
About Me
- Joy in AL
- Confession time: I'm a 50-something Alabama girl,with big city ideas just lucky enough to be raised in a small town. Why "Just Joy"? When I was a kid, people always tried to call me Joyce and I'd respond "No, it's JUST JOY." I've been known as that ever since! (Just Joy for over 40 years now...take that fake "just joy's") Mother of 3: my oldest daughter "Julz",my boy, "Tigger", and my baby-girl, "Kit-Kat". I'm a blue-eyed, Baptist, baton-twirler who still enjoys a good "dress up vacation" and occassionally comes home with a crown souvenir. My heart bleeds orange & blue ~War Eagle! I work for a coffee company. I've wanted to be a writer since I was about 10 years old, but looks like this is as close as I'm ever going to get. This is my point of view, regardless of how slanted it may be. My motto for life I stole from Gene Simmons: "Any day above ground is a good day." ~~~~~~~~~ REMEMBER: "As long as you know me, there will be JOY in your life."~~~~~En-JOY
