Disaster Strikes
Wow. Well, you may or may not read Andy's (husband) blog. If you do you know that our 1997 Volvo 960 just threw up the "service engine" light and started running terribly. So, we were down to one car because Andy has lost his wallet and did not have his AAA card and we didn't want to have to pay for towing to get it to the mechanic.
So today Andy calls me and tells me that the breaks in Pedro, our 1977 VW Bug, just went out! We just had his brakes fixed a month ago! Andy was doing a half an hour drive to Canton and luckily they didn't go out until he was in the parking lot! Andy is okay and nothing was hit thank goodness. Unfortunately Andy is stuck in Canton and I have no way to come and get him. Ugh. I'm not sure what we're going to do. Now we have no car.
Luckily Andy called AAA in Indiana and they faxed him a temporary card so he could get Virgil, the Volvo, in to get repaired. Now, we're going to have to get Pedro towed to and somehow get Andy home. I have no idea how we are going to get to work tomorrow. The bus lines don't run to our jobs because they are in a different county. And we can't rent a car because Andy is the only one who is 25 (you have to be 25 to rent!) and he lost his wallet over the weekend! They say bad things come in 3s. I hope this is the last for a while.........
::sigh::
(Andy just called me and said the mechanic who fixed Pedro's brakes is going to fix them for free as long as it was something wrong with one of the parts he put in.. thank goodness..)
