My Car Woes Continue

For the second day in a row, I took off my swimsuit as I'm not going to the pool. I went out to start the car, only to have it stall out and die on me.
I will be taking it to AutoZone as soon as I can get it to turn over. Though I might call my older son instead. He's my mechanic son who is good with cars. If anyone knows where I can get a good deal on a battery, he does.
It looks like I'm going to need to reorganize my remaining funds to deal with a new battery. It won't be easy. I'll need to cancel my hair appointment. I don't like doing that, but a look in the mirror says I can. I'll also need to skip the payment for my gym membership. I have a cushion, so I'm good for another month yet. I think I'm good to April on the membership.
That's what's happening here. I didn't have a lot of notifications this morning, so my plans are to go back to bed and then work on a book. Going on 6 AM when I'm normally still at the pool. Maybe tomorrow.
How is your day? Thanks for reading.

Sorry to hear that your car is still giving you trouble. Hope it's just the battery and it isn't too expensive.

My day is ok so far. It's not as cold as it had been. I'm hoping it stays like this so I won't freeze my neck next week. I'm getting a haircut next week. I took out the trash. I'm sorry about your car.

These vehicle whoas must be contagious! Jay's truck has been giving us fits, the past month. It was first the battery cables, the drivers door won't close, another part that needed to be replaced, and now the plug wires! I think our bitter cold temps had something to do with all these issues, also. I hope your car is up and running, by tomorrow:)

@kobesbuddy No, it's not. I still need to get the car tuned up though. It will have to wait until next month.

@just4him Thanks be to the Lord, it wasn't a major problem, that costs a lot of money.

Really hope that your son can help find you that battery. It would be so nice to have a pool to use at this time of the year!!

I'm glad I have a YWCA membership. I don't need a battery only a tune-up and new air filter.

Sorry to hear it wont start again. It does sound like the cold is dragging the battery too much.

My son did say the cold had a lot to do with it, but thankfully it isn't the battery.

Yes, but I've had good luck with this car, and it continues. It's not the battery. It's fine. I need a tune-up and air filter.

That's a costly investment. I'm glad you're putting away for it. Thank you, but the battery isn't the problem. I need a tune-up and new air filter.

Unfortunately, car woes are a fact of life if we wish to have wheels.
