Back To Some-what Normal
While our cars have were out of commission Amy let us stay at her and Kory's house for two nights. That was so awesome of her! We would have never been able to go to work if she hadn't helped us out. And our petsitter came over on last minute notice to let the dogs out since we couldn't go home to let them outside.
Well Virgil had an ignition coil go bad, and Pedro has a leak in his breakline (which we had to pay for since it wasn't the mechanic's fault). Then Andy found out that Virgil is about to have his brakes go bad (only 15% left on them). So, we are hauling him out to the mechanic again next week to have him fixed.
All in all, for everything we've had to pay out for this ordeal, it is going to cost us about $950.00.
Bye-bye tax refund. It was nice to see you in our account for a couple of days.
The good news is that we will have two cars that are in good working order and we're still going to be able to get our used couch! Andy figured it out and we can still get the used couch/loveseat from the place down the street. So, at least that much. I'm just glad this all hit while we actually had the money to fix it. If this would have happened in a month we would have been in a lot of trouble!
So, most things are back to normal in the Shears' household for the time being. Well, at least we consider it "normal".
Thank you again, to Amy (and Kory who I knew would have also invited us in if he wasn't in NY) for letting us crash on your floor and taking me to work for two days and fixing me awesome vegan stirfry!!!
