What a Great Day

It seems the saying when it rains, it pours is holding true right now! My windshield wiper broke on the way home after Easter. Today Brax decided to get up at 3:30 so I am exhausted. I slept a little after that, but not much. It was pouring so I decided to run him to the bus stop. He told me I should park on the side of the road the bus stops on, which ended up being a good thing. I shut off my car to wait and not waste gas. After the bus had left, my car wouldn't start. The battery is dead and we knew it was dying, but didn't know how close. I was parked on the downhill side of the road, so I put the car in Neutral and let it roll to our driveway. My neighbor then came and jumped me so I could get it in the garage. Branden is in Richfield, so he's not much help. I"ll have to just wait until he gets back into town. We've just had a lot of bills come at once that were unexpected. Now I need a battery that will cost me $100. What great fun! Luckily, all the automotive shops in the area have the battery on hand. Oh, what a day!

Of course, it always happens that way. At least we didn't have to play ball in the cold yesterday.
