About an hour ago I decided to run to the convenience store downtown for a couple of items. Not enough to do a gas-guzzling run to the market, nor enough to qualify for a delivery.
The car wouldn’t start.
After a few moments of screaming, I came in and called my neighbor, Josh, but he didn’t answer. Called the auto club and while I was on the phone with them, Josh called me back. I canceled the auto club and Josh came over and jump started my car. He recommended a new battery–but just so I could get to the store and back he told me to leave the car running while I went in the store. The mission was accomplished, Josh waiting for me here. He waited because he knew if I was not back in fifteen minutes there was trouble, so he would have come to the convenience store to solve any problems there.
It does seem like a new problem crops up every day.
I do feel rather frustrated–it sometimes feels almost impossible to get anything accomplished.
Needless to say, I feel exhausted–stress, perhaps.
Good neighbors are worth their weight in gold.
Upward and onward.
God bless everybody

Car batteries have a way of doing that. There are six cells, and if one goes bad, that can be enough to ruin your whole day. Many of these do-it-yourself parts store have “load testers” which will single out a bad battery right away. Anyone with even minimal mechanical skills can replace a battery, quite easily. The secret is to remove the negative cable, first, counterintuitive as that may sound.
My neighbor will do that for me. Thank heaven.
Good going.
I need all the help I can get. LOL
I also am blessed with good neighbors – what a blessing not to have a garage band across the street like in our last location!
Ha Ha O boy a garage band!!
