Back to Driving the Van

My son did make it over yesterday to look at my car. He assumes it is the water pump that's gone out. The problem now is the time it will take to take parts off the engine to actually get to the water pump to find out for sure.
I really wish I just had the money to take it to a mechanic!!
I didn't even know if the van would start, but it started right up. I had a little money in paypal so went and put gas in it. Now I'm praying that rod doesn't go completely out on it. I will sure try my best to not go anywhere that's not necessary.
However, of course, my mother has a doctor appointment this afternoon. Sigh.....
Tomorrow is Bible study and then followed by ladies lunch and games at church.
Doesn't look like I will be babysitting for my daughter on Thursday's anymore to earn that money. I really can't chance the van on the highway to get to her house.
I was good this morning and got one of my drawstring backpacks up for sale in my etsy shop. I need to keep it up until all I have made is listed. They sure won't sell sitting here in a bag and not listed.
How is your week starting out?

@marsha32 I have noticed that every instructor is different. I was having salsa lessons in the past so some of the steps are familiar to me. It could be harder for some people if they don't have dancing background. Have you had dancing classes in the past?
My body doesn't move uniformly either, I have flexible hips but my upper body is very rigid so zumba helps me coordinate those two.

It started out okay although my grandson has had a four day weekend. But he has been relatively quiet with no upsets. I hope you get the vehicle thing straightened out soon.

Glad your son came over and looked at car hopefully he will be able to come over again and find out for sure if it is the water pump or not and fix it for you. In the meantime I hope your van behaves for you til you can get the car fixed.I hope you get all your bags listed soon and are able to sell them all real fast.

@TiarasOceanView I was told it would have only cost hubby $35 to get to work which is in a town over an hour from here....and that it would have only been like $3 to go from my house to our church. You can't even get in a taxi for $3 let alone go anywhere.

I am glad you at least have to van to get you to close places that you need to go. Hope it will hold up for you until you can get your car fixed. My week is starting pretty good. I can't complain about a thing.

I hope you can get the money to have your vehicles fixed, nothing worse is there? We are off to a slow start, just lazing around.
