la_samtyrIt sounds as if it might get kinda nasty later on this afternoon/night so I'm posting now while the weather isn't too bad. It's windy though, there are high wind warnings out. Yay.
I got the car repair bill, which is right at $875.00. ::gulps:: Yeah, that pretty much killed any hope I had of getting some other *necessary* house repairs done but oh well. The part that went bad was the injection assembly ($530) and the labor was $108. The towing from here to Hastings and running diagnostics came to $176.15. And there was one additional gasket(?) that needed replaced as well (otherwise I would have had to take it right back for it to be fixed as well), so... yeah. Kinda steep, but the parts & labor are guaranteed for 1 year which helps. I just wish I could have gotten Sam to help me coax it to the shop in Hastings, that would have saved quite a bit. But sometimes things just can't be helped. Damn and double damn.
The one good thing is that I already had my utility bills paid, so that is one less worry for this month. The bad news is -- no chance to buy groceries other than milk, etc. and garden things to plant as intended. Meh. I also had to put my neuter/spay plans on hold indefinitely again which is a big worry in itself. But there's no help for it. And so it goes.
