3 days until graduation!
It is not even 10am and my day has been a mess! I woke up to go to the gym. Turned on my car and the brake light came on. My first thought was that my emergency brake was on. Nope! I grabbed the manual and figured out that my brake fluid was low. I popped the hood and and saw that the brake reservoir was EMPTY! I poured in brake fluid, waited a moment, then turned on the car. the light was still on. I went back to the reservoir. It was empty AGAIN.
Now I'm stressed. I have to work today and I planned to run a ton of errands to get ready for Fridays departure to Pitt.
I called the gym to let them know I wouldn't be there - I'm such a regular, they worry when I'm not there.
I then called and left messages with two repair shops so they could contact me when they opened between 7:30 - 8am. By 8:30 no one had called !!!!! I guess in this economy they don't need my $$$. What happened to customer service? Anyway, I finally reached one mechanic them and then called AAA for a tow. AAA got to my house in an hour. The driver had to roll the car out of the driveway to the street keeping one foot out of the car to make up for no brakes - Flintstones style. Drama!
Now my baby - the car - is at the shop being looked at. I who have a 1pm mandatory meeting today am on public transportation. I am NOT fond of the bus... But as they say, "what needs must".
I pray they have my car fixed before noon Friday.
The day can only get better from here...
