Stressed

Today was not fun. Last night when Tim was checking the mail my car, Betty Boop, decided to have a heart attack. We had to try to revive her with a car passing by. She only then just made it to the parking spot in front of our apartment. She wouldn't start again. She is my first car, and is getting kind of old. I really don't want to part with her, but I may have to very soon. Luckily Tim's co-worker picked him up today. My mom was a sweet heart and let us borrow her jeep. So he went and picked that up today, but we only have it until Sunday. So we have to try to get Betty fixed up before then. We made a mistake and went a little over board on spending money in Florida. So hopefully we make it through this month with Betty's illness. I just keep praying.

Later in the day I noticed it was getting a little steamy in here. I turned on the fan and went to check the thermostat. It was set on 73 but it was actually 82ish. I just assumed the A/C was having trouble with our record heat. I told Tim and he reminded me about a little annoyance we have in this apartment. Right next to our A/C unit on the wall outside is a switch. That switch turns on and off the A/C. You would figure they would have a lock box over this switch right? Wrong, and its not a small out of sight switch either. It's huge!!! So we think that neighborhood kids think it's funny to play with these switches because it is always getting switched off.

On a lighter note, I did talk to a really funny friend a bit ago. He made me laugh and invited Tim and I to go float down the river later this month. Hopefully if we get out of this car and financial mess we will be able to go.

Time to do some more unpacking. I really over packed, but it was worth it.
