My car has died.

I think it is as official as it can get now.

I have been trying to start my car since thursday evening when I went out to start it and it wouldn't turn over. Since that night, Chris has spent several hours trying to help me, including spending his entire Sunday fiddling around, trying to boost it, taking the battery out to warm up in the store, bringing it back out and hooking it up to the charger thing that we had out there, that I bought especially to try with this darn thing... It is a combination charger/booster, and it didn't work. I then took the LRT today to go out and try it again now that it is warm, and nothing... The battery seems to b fine, just the engine won't go. I wish I had some mechanic friends... I don't know what is wrong with it, and I am tempted to just say screw it, and ask my Mom to arrange to get my Cavalier to the city, and I will take it back instead.

I really want my Cavalier back anyway, maybe this is a sign.

I just don't understand why it refuses to turn over. It has been plugged in for two days straight, until of course my 'sometimes jerk of a boss' unplugged it today to hook up the new open sign, which he could have just gotten another plug thing for it... This was a few hours before I came down to the store... But it was so warm today that it shouldn't have mattered.

Yeah, so now, after spending too much time in the last week trying to get my damn car to work, and having Chris come out when he is already stressed out beyond stressed... I am in a pretty bad mood. I have been clenching my teeth all day, and now have a headache. I am going to go have a long hot bath, and read the Sylvia Browne book Mommy gave me for Christmas... which I totally cannot wait to finish! And then use the cool bookmark I also got in whatever I read next. I usually use a piece of tissue, so this will be a nice change!

So, Mom, if you are reading this, what are the chances of my being able to get my Cavalier back???

I will call to discuss!

Sigh. Time to destress.

I am going to burn you a copy of Mazzy Star's album "So Tonight That I Might See" It's the perfect bathtime/unwind CD. While I'm at it I'm gonna whip up a batch of my super calming bath salts for you, too, so when you get that SD card package I can return the huge favour you did for me!!
