TGIF!!

Well, this has been a stressful week!  My car broke down on Wednesday.  Ick.  It was the timing belt.   Timing Belt=Expensive!  Then this morning our service consultant at the dealership called to say the timing belt was finished but they found that the cooling fan wasn't working!  Egad!

Even I know that the cooling fan is pretty important, car overheating is bad.  As I learned in my old Cavalier, which suffered great abuse at my hands and kept on trucking along.  It had a leak in the coolant so I carried around a gallon of water to refill it before I could head home from work.  Finally, my sweet and wonderful Daddy replaced the engine for me, and she lived for another year or two.  Until  I wrecked her.  I could have even gotten that repaired but MB and I had been talking about replacing the Cavy anyhow, so I got Delilah, the Seabring convertible.  She is still beautiful and, like my dogs, must live forever...Wow.  I totally got sidetracked.

Anyhow...Cooling fan had to be replaced, too.  Tacking another estimated $450 + tax onto the bill.  I felt a little sick hearing that, but what can you do?  So this morning I thought we'd have a bill for like $2K.  Which is definitely more than I hoped.  I was hoping that we'd get out for $1500 when it was just the timing belt. 

Happily our service consultant is super awesome and told me about a coupon for 10% off on their website and gave us any discount he could, so our grand total was under $1,500!  I am so relieved!

Now after this super stressful week, maybe MB and I can finish Dexter season 5 (I know, we are sooo behind!!) and catch up on Once Upon a Time!
