I’m sick of my car. I want a brand new one that is so new that it’s never been used and all the parts are brand-spanking new!
You may remember my last car issues? Now it’s worse!
This morning the damn thing starts fine and I start heading down the road. It then starts doing some weird shuddering stuff and stops. Luckily I had felt the shuddering and pulled to the side of the road.I call Rob who picks me up in his work truck to take me to my finance test. I was planning to catch the bus (I hate buses!!) back, but luckily a friend offered to drop me.
So after my test, which sucked, I am standing on the side of the road waiting for AA man to come and check it out. He turns up and tells me he can’t do anything. He offers to call a tow truck for me, oh no, that means serious.
So now, forty minutes later, I’m sitting waiting for the tow truck, trying not to burst into tears. The guy arrives and takes it to my auto electrician. I do not want to see the bill!
I text my sister, who is Whangamata on holiday, to see if I could borrow her car this week while she’s away. She said it was no problem which is awesome because I need to get out to her house to feed her fish and water her plants everyday.
As I said to Rob, everything in my life is never all aligned at once. I’m finally on track with my weight loss and keeping track of it, I’m enjoying a well deserved break from work and Uni and of course something has to go bust. I told Rob that tomorrow I’ll eat a big, fatty pie and then my car will be miraculously fixed. Haha.. just kidding!
At least The Hills is on tonight, the thought of that is keeping me sane.
