I'm not sure what Mom did, but she called Midas this morning and they said they would hook my car up to their scanner for free (I am avoiding a fee of $69.99). So, after she woke me up to tell me the fantastic news, I got dressed, hobbled downstairs, I was hardly awake, grabbed my keys and jetted off, with Mom's credit card to fill up my tank. At Midas I sat in the lobby reading People; I have been in that lobby more times in the past week than I can even reasonably justify. After a half an hour of celebrity gossip journalism, my car was ready and was cured of the SERVICE ENGINE SOON light. I thanked the man far more times than probably necessary and drove back home happy. Now, if we could just do something about that speaker that I presume to be blown...
It's off to the gym. Third day in a row, don't-cha know.
