Car Problems

I had a busy day today... studying from 6-11am, picked up a dessert dish for the church picnic tomorrow, got a haircut, and went to my sister's birthday party. As I tried to leave, I noticed that the car wouldn't start. It "turned over," but it wouldn't start. We tried jumping it and still no success. We eventually gave up and my dad came to pick me up. The timing seems just right for another car problem. I didn't need any more issues with this thing. I can barely save money to replace the money I spent on class already! I guess I'll have to go back to being ultra strict with my money and try to study at home instead of going out places.

I have the old loaner car for now, but I've just gotta be careful. Thankfully my raise came in at work! it looks like I'll be doing nothing but saving money until I can get back to a comfortable place... I don't know what's wrong with the car yet or how much it will cost, but we'll likely have to have it towed. I wonder if the heat got to it or something?

By the time I arrived home, it was about 5 minutes before I would normally leave for downtown, I was hot and tired. Travis said he'd be out this weekend as well. So I ended up not going. This isn't usual for me. It will give me time to work on and likely finish a paper in advance for class, but is it worth the trade? I did get to take a short nap earlier.

No Hermeneutical tidbits today... it's time to tackle a paper!
