Oh, that "clunk" does not sound good at all. :( But GO YOU! for not freaking out. *hugs*

I'm going to be praying for spontaneous auto healing at your house. Sometimes it does happen. :)

Somewhere, I have a copy of a poem---wish I could find it!---something along the lines of "Prayer on a Day My Car Won't Start", that requests help from a greasy-winged angel with a mechanical bent. I think that's who I need right now!

Nothing worse than car trouble!

vanillafluffy February 11 2013, 16:07:10 UTC

It's definitely a pain in the butt, but not as much of a disaster as it could be. I'm going to keep taking deep breaths, keep calm and carry on. (What else is there?)

Not much else you can do~ unless you have mechanic buddies.

vanillafluffy February 11 2013, 16:15:59 UTC

Nope. Times like this I really miss my dad--he could fix anything!

According to Sara Ann, the public transportation around here is very efficient.

vanillafluffy February 11 2013, 16:40:16 UTC

In some ways, but there is no route that goes within a mile of the Central Brevard Library, which shocks me.

That IS weird!

ang5fam February 11 2013, 16:47:09 UTC

Cab, perhaps?

vanillafluffy February 11 2013, 16:50:21 UTC

Getting picked up by my trainer...not the ideal intro, but I'll offer her gas money for the inconvenience.

ang5fam February 11 2013, 16:51:17 UTC

At least it's an option.

vanillafluffy February 11 2013, 16:53:47 UTC

Exactly. I like this job-- I NEED this job!--I'm going to do whatever it takes to keep it.

Oh well, at least you're taking it in stride! I'm not sure if there's ever a 'convenient' time for things to break down...

vanillafluffy February 11 2013, 18:05:16 UTC

Yeah...it's like someone said this weekend that they had a terrible headache, and I had to ask, "Is there such a thing as a delightful headache...?"

LOL, oh, how I wish...

And I ADORE that icon, hee...talk about a penguin with a death-wish...

vanillafluffy February 13 2013, 01:31:39 UTC

Yeah, bird-boy's got moxie. :-D
