Something Went "TING!"

Apr 03, 2012 08:47

So........Snowball's in the shop again, waiting on a diagnosis of what the hell went 'TING!' and hit the bottom of the car yesterday when I put it into reverse and started to back out of a parking spot.  On the up side, it has been driving better since.  No, I didn't hook something on the curb - I stopped immediately and checked that, there was a lot of clearance and my bumper was still just as attached.  It's more like something had released.  Damn, I was STILL hoping to use what is left of my IRS money to go to the dentist, but looks like that's a pipe dream at this point as just an hour for diagnosing is going to be a tiny bit short of $100.

And you know what's ironic?  The car I wanted after my Neon, a '99 Subaru Impreza Outback in green, was sitting just one spot away from my car this morning when I went to take it to Honda.  With a $4500 for sale sign.  Luckily I didn't see the driver, or I'd have asked if he or she wanted to do a swap.  Yeah, I know I could have ended up with something worse, but seriously tempted at this point.

And tomorrow the maintenance guy is coming to look at the washer/dryer AGAIN because the timer on the dryer isn't moving.

And my new medication, a diuretic, was messing with my heart rhythm among other things, so I told the doc via secure messaging that I'm not taking it anymore and am substituting dandelion leaf capsules.  I don't wanna die like Elvis.
