Click... click... click..
Name that sound!
.....did you say "Dead Car Battery?" DING! DING! DING!
You're right!
Here I am... 1:30 on a Sunny Friday afternoon.. HOME.
The -13 degree temperature, finally did my poor Car battery in.
It's almost 8 years old, and has served me well.
The fact that my little KIA Sephia has never felt the warmth of a garage, and has started faithfully all these years, is really amazing.
I guess it's just time.
So.... I get a day off..... but not really enjoying it. Trying to figure out how to get a jump.. or a new battery. I hated calling into work this morning. I always feel like they think I'm lying.
And they, always give you the un-sympathetic "well ok.... try and make it in, and keep me posted" .. grrrrh!
I called my son, but didn't really expect him to leave work and drive 25 miles to jump my car.
The bad thing is...I was supposed to get my tags tomorrow morning $$$... and now I need a new battery too? $$$$$$....let's not forget I basked in having several days off during the slow period at work... -$ -$ -$........ hmmmm. great timing eh?.
Oh well.. I'll get through it all. The sun is shining (things can't be that bad right?) It looks deceptively warm ..... NOT! The picnic table is now almost covered with about a foot of snow!
So... now I can really clean up my art room. Some of the PSMWG's will be coming tomorrow, for our rescheduled ART day.
For now, I'll play Scarlett O'Hara, and "think about it tomorrow" Nothing I can do right now anyway. Hopefully, my son will be able to come by after he gets out of work, and take me for a new battery. There are worse things in life than a dead battery...... that's what I told my daughter last month, when hers died!
I'm stalling now.... gotta get up and get movin'!
Hope you have a great weekend!....I get to work on Sunday.... hopefully! ...

The news yesterday said that AAA had 3 times as many dead battery calls as usual during this cold. (And I think we now have a radiator problem, lol).
Here's hoping it warms up soon!
I'm sorry to hear about your car - that's stinky. When I lived in South Dakota, we used to have to plug our cars in at night (a block heater) to keep them warm enough to start. Not here in CA and no more scraping windshields - maybe the only two perks of living here. If you can, I would invest in AAA - it's like $70/year in CA but they will change a flat, jump you (well, not you, but your car - maybe you if you pay extra and are desperate! Ha), unlock if you lock your keys in, etc. I have definitely gotten my money's worth from them over the years. Hope tomorrow is better for you!
