Yesterday -- and Today (Short Version)
Dec. 18th, 2010 03:23 pmFor those who don't feel up to reading the longer version...
I decided to run a quick errand at K-Mart. The Blazer started rough but seemed ok, so errand accomplished, I started home, intending to stop downtown for yet another quick snack. And just as I was driving along, on 2nd St., the Blazer quit. As in the battery light came on, and there was zero power -- except for the steering for which I was very grateful. I managed to glide into a parking space, and then I started making calls. First to the accountant to give him the heads up on what had happened and I would be facing a 'unknown' repair job & tow, and then to the mechanic I use to "fix stuff." The mechanic/tow truck came (at least I don't have to worry about an impound fee from the City of Hastings) and he *thinks* it is only the fuel pump but he isn't sure because he has so many jobs ahead that he won't be able to look at it until W/Th. at the soonest...

So I called Summer but I couldn't reach her, so I did the next thing, which was to call Shockey -- who, ironically had just arrived in Harvard from his work site in Hastings, so he had to double back just to give me a ride back.
zzzzzzz
As for today, I have spent it napping off and on. I am *so tired* and my neck, shoulders and back really ache from all of the tension. Ugh.
Oh yes, and I am watching the snow come down in big, fat, soft flakes. Very pretty, so far.
