Breakdown

Although I have felt like having a nervous breakdown lately, it was my car that had the problem yesterday.

I was driving to work and it just quit accelerating. The battery light and the check engine light came on. I pulled over and called DH, who arrived about a half-hour later. I was almost to the exit I take to get to my job.

We had to have it towed to a mechanic's. They said they couldn't get to it until Thursday, but I did get a call late yesterday afternoon. It will cost $525 to fix the problem (which includes the towing fee). And that's the problem they were able to diagnose using their equipment. There may be other problems which will be detected once they get it started up.

*shrugs* It could have been worse, I guess. Hopefully, I'll have the car back tomorrow afternoon, and everything will be okay.

If not, then I guess I will have a breakdown of my very own.
