living on the edge

I take so  many things for granted like most people.  Bubba took me today to check on my car and it will 99.9% have to get a new transmission.  Then we checked to see if insurance pays for a rental in that situation and , no.  Then we made the rounds at Enterprise and Hertz and Hertz actually had sedans available "right now" but the cost is prohibitive.  $500 refundable deposit and 500 rental for a week.  

I decided to stick with Les and see what kind of magic they can do for me.  I mean, they already have the car and the keys. They are excellent mechanics in the age where dealerships try to rip you off and they try to save you money.  Small business, if you will.

I ordered by Door Dash last night and have some leftover lasagna so there is supper just waiting for me.  The ricotta kind of messed with my stoma situation but that's okay.  Two bag changes later, life is good.  Sometimes you just have to go for the dream and deal with the aftermath.

Thus far, my car is still sittin' where we left it on Saturday. They only have two bays and both are full with trucks.  I'm expecting a miracle at this point, ya know?  We even checked into a UHaul van at only twenty bucks a day but pay by the mile.  Just, no.  I will be happy to depend on  rides and wait it out.

Lord have mercy ^j^
