So, good start to the day, up early for my rTMS treatment,
which went well and then home for breakfast that included a Macdonald's coffee.
And boom like clockwork two hours after the treatment I was bagged and ended up
back in bed. I can't say I actually slept, but I could not keep my eyes open.
My son and his grandma (my mom) took our bottles back - long
story about why I didn't and don't do the bottle depot (maybe one day I will
share)... Before they got back I did some writing out on the balcony - it is
really taking a long time and many scenes to kill off all of these people in my
zombie script, I am looking forward to getting the hero to his next destination
(where ever that might be)... Anyway, they got back home and we sat for a bit
and visited, then my mom went home, my son headed to the basement, and I read
some more Maclean's magazine (trying to stay up to speed on the 'news')...
Eventually my son came back upstairs and we decided to head
up to the local mall - we did our thing which was basically eating out - ok
that is all we did was eat supper... Got out to the car, and turned the key and
NOTHING. Some lights lit up and the car made a terrible clicking sound and
nothing more. Ah F#@k, is what I thought. So I popped the hood and damn my
battery looked like shit. The posts were super corroded, and it just looked
bad. So I disconnected the battery filed off the posts, and the inside of the
clamps, but to no avail. I called the AMA and was told it would be 2 hours
before someone could come and boost us - ugh 2 hours in a sweltering car, oh
well better than snow... I was just hoping that a boost was all I needed - a
tow would be a 5 hour wait... We were pleasantly surprised when the guy arrived
within a half hour, and the car started. Yippy... The AMA guy agreed time for a
new battery... So my son and I drive the long way home to give the battery more
time to charge, got home turned off the car, and boom it wouldn't start again.
So battery shopping tomorrow, although I need to go help my friend first so my
mom is nicely lending me her van - damn that woman is always saving me...
As an added bonus the radio stopped working. My son read in
the manual that we need to punch in a five digit code to reset it, WHAT??? I
have no such code, it says it can happen when the battery is disconnected, that
and the anti-theft light keeps flashing... ugh J Any ideas greatly appreciated???
Goal for tomorrow - Get a battery for my car, without
emptying my bank account!
Talk to y'all tomorrow...
