December Days - 12.6.10

Today had all the potential to be a terrible, no-good, very bad day. It didn't start that way, but when my car died on me and then wouldn't start again, it took a bad turn...

I had to call Marcy to come get me, which she was more than happy to do after she finished her workout and then visited with a friend for a little while.

We got the car running again, took it to CARx and dropped it off with our fingers crossed. As she drove me to work, I played out the scenarios of which Christmas gifts I had purchased (for myself) that I would be returning in order to pay for the car repairs. My day went on and I heard nothing about my car. As my imagination took flight with all the things that were wrong, the potential bill kept growing in my head. I finally got the phone call: it was a broken battery cable. The final bill: $20! (after Marcy's coupon) Whoo-Hoo!

What felt like impending doom at the end of my day ended up being a relatively nice surprise. Thank you CARx and Marcy's coupon clipping!
