Another Car post
If you read my post the other day about all the things that have happened regarding my car since moving here, I wanted to update.
Friday, I left work to meet my sister just a few minutes away at a pet store to pick up her new puppy. She is borrowing my cage for a few weeks to get the puppy settled. She had her two kids and the cat, so I was meeting her and then driving the dog to her house. About halfway to meeting my sister, I got rear-ended at a stop light. The guy behind me thought I was going, but really I was just inching forward so I could see traffic better.
There wasn’t any damage on the bumber, so I got back in the car to leave…and it wouldn’t start. I called my sister to tell her I would be late and started crying. Now, stuff like this doesn’t normally bother me, but with everything that has happened since moving to America, it was just one thing too many. Thankfully, I called AAA and they arrived within 30 minutes and it was just a loose cable on the battery, so the car started right up again and by the time I got to PetLand, Angela was just finishing up the paperwork and ready to go.
aww, i’m so sorry! i have done that once though where i thought the person in front was going and they were just inching! terrible. glad there was no damage and that all was well… hang in there!

You are so right Alley…thanks for the reminder! And, amazingly, there was no damage and I made it to meeting my sister with her only having to wait a few minutes for me.

And if we hadn’t been living so close you wouldn’t have been out ‘helping’ me! I love you!!
