Ugh, my car...

Wouldn't start again. I had to have Jen come pick me up and drive me to work (which wasn't too big of a problem since we carpool on Thursdays normally, anyway). Usually I drive to her place and we leave from there around 7:30. However, since it was already after 7:00 when I called her to let her know I needed a ride (about the time she is normally getting out of bed), she didn't get to my house until nearly 8:00, which means I was 1/2 hour late for work. I'll be working late to make that up, since Jen is working until 7:00 or 8:00 tonight anyway. Yet, despite the morning drama, my mood is relatively chipper. Odd. Anyway, I'm hoping that the car problem is a simple fix, like the battery needs to be replaced. That's something I can do myself. If it is anything more complex, it may necessitate a trip to the mechanic, and I really don't feel like paying for that. So here's to optimism (and lots of finger-crossing)!
