YAY!!

Went to meet the tow truck guy at the mall this morning so that Dave's van could be towed all the way down here until he could work on it. The cost for the trip, $350.00. The amount we actually spent, $0. The thrill of knowing we didn't have to spend that much, priceless.

Why didn't we have to spend that much? You might be thinking that the actual cost wasn't that high. Well you would be correct on that assumption. "How much did it cost," would be your next question and the answer would be $0.

Yep, you read correctly. When we got there, Dave tried to start the van and miracles of miracles, it started. It was as if there was nothing wrong with it, so I asked him if he was going to cancel the tow truck and he hands me his phone and tells me, "Here you call, I don't have my glasses." There was one problem with that, he forgot to give me the number which was still in his hand. I tell him that and he hands me the paper with the number, so I dial the phone and hand it to him. We were lucky, they hadn't dispatched the truck yet, so we weren't charged for the tow. Needless to say we were both relieved. David and I had to pay our cell phone bills, so since there was a cell phone store in the mall, we decided to pay them there rather than waiting until we got back down near home. I even found a Columbia fleece jacket, one of the light ones at Scheels on sale that I couldn't find yesterday. Turned out, we walked right past them in the middle of the aisle. All turned out well, even the weather, which ended up sunny and close to 50.

He's going to be taking my van to work until he can get his fixed. Again, no wheels for me to drive. ☹ I hate not having a car to drive. Even though I don't drive a lot during the week, I still like having one at my disposal. If this lasts too long, I'll just have to protest or go on strike and demand something be done so I can have my car back. On second thought, I don't think that will work. I'll have to think of something else.

Oh yea, more good news, our taxes are done and we're getting a refund.
