I took my car in for a regular service visit, which should have been about $200. Turns out I needed new tires, a transmission flush, an alignment, and on and on.... Also, the dealership has terrible customer service (I didn't buy my car from them...I bought it out of town). They didn't have a loaner car for me, and so I'm driving your grandpa's car around until they get it together and do what they need to do.
I had a minor mental breakdown at work yesterday afternoon, but pulled myself together and was ready to face the day today with a smile on my face. And then something happened that made my stomach turn. You know the kind of thing I'm talking about. And I thought "please don't bring my mood down today!! I'm so excited about my plans for tonight and I want to be happy!!"
And then I got a text from someone special. Someone asking me to go to lunch next week. And that made me smile. And then I got a text from someone saying that they were in court all day, and couldn't stop thinking about the beach. And that made me smile even more :)
Somehow those two fabulous texts have completely erased the stomach turning that occurred earlier. My smile is back, and **hopefully** my car will be delivered to me very soon! BUT...even if it isn't...I'm going to keep smiling.
I'm hanging in there, and should have some fun to share tomorrow!
