Yesterday, my mother went to go start her vehicle to go to work at about noon, since she had a half day, but it would seem that the battery was dead. Being in a hurry, she asked to borrow my car, which i of course allowed, seeing as how i had nothing better to do that day.
Once leaving the house, and driving a bit, my mother discovered my car had a flat, and was able to pull into a grocery store parking lot to get out of the lunch time rush hour. not only was she running a little behind, but there was lots of my stuff in my trunk that was blocking her access to the spare, and so she began moving all of it into the back seat.
After many minutes of doing this, she realized she would not have time to get the spare in place and get to work on time (which was the priority in this case) and so she got a tire of Fix-A-Flat and used it on the tire, which did actually work very well. She was then able to get to work on time, and the crisis was averted.
Well today, we were able to jump her car and get it to start, and I followed her to the mechanic, where she was able to get her battery replaced. I then drove her from the mechanic to her place of work, and then returned to the mechanic myself to have my car fixed too. I was in need of not only a new tire, but also an oil change and a few other check up type things.
I then spent the next 4 hours sitting around at the mechanic's, trapped, without Internet.
Fortunately, my friend The Gypsy was in town (back from one of his grand adventures) and we were able to go get lunch and spend some time just talking and catching up. It was very pleasant.
Also, i think the Barista at the coffee shop kinda likes me, but i'm not sure. i can't tell if she's flirting just with me, or with everyone in general.
