blah....


Last weekend my car's 'Service Engine Soon' light came on. AWESOME. I looked it up, asked my step dad about it, and everyone seemed to say the same thing - that usually this means something minimal if anything at all....

Yesterday evening when I started to the farm, my car gave me a bit of a fit. Didn't want to start.... Finally I got it started and decided to play it safe and just leave it running the few minutes at the farm while I rushed and ran around and did the evening quick chores. The car ran fine, just was giving me trouble starting....

This morning, with a few attempts, it crank and I drove it to the shop before work.... oh. CRAP. My guy fixes me up with new brakes, new starter, oil change, tire rotation, checks everything out and seems the light came on from my catalytic converter. I need a new one, but that can wait a few months.....and that's the biggie.... a whopping $1000 fix. Boom. I picked up my car, dropped the almost $1000 for the work done, and will be ready to get the other repair done soon. What a bummer day. I was cranky, moody, bummed, and picked a doozy of an argument with Christian. That didn't make me feel any better.... After a visit with my mama, she lifted my spirits, brought me back to the reality of all the good things going on, I went home and ate dinner and made up with Christian and then we treated ourselves to some devine desserts at Big City Bread afterwards. Sweet treats make me smile. Always.

The day ended a lot better than I would have expected... but now I realized that I got so caught up in all the negative, that I actually forgot about my #100happydays project. DANNNGG! I'm not over it though - gonna post two pics tomorrow! I got my car back, survived the emotional hurricane that I pretty much created myself, and made up with my Christian. Tomorrow is a new day and midweek mixtape Wednesday!! I'm halfway to the weeeeeekennnnnnd!!
